Active Play
We get kids moving through games and activities that build coordination, teamwork, and healthy habits. Through a variety of sport-based challenges, children develop physical skills, resilience, and confidence in working with others, all while having fun.
Race Day Fun
Involves students trying their hand at classic sports day challenges, including the spoon and egg race, three-legged race, sack hop, bean bag toss and relay races. Each game is designed so that every child can join in, whether they love speed or prefer to focus on balance and accuracy. Children cheer each other on, try again after a wobble, and learn that having fun
Resources supplied
Spoons and plastic or wooden eggs (no real eggs)
Hessian or fabric sacks for sack races
Soft ankle ties for three-legged races
Bean bags, hoops and target mats
Relay batons, cones and start and finish markers
Team bibs or coloured bands
Ribbons or participation stickers for all children
Water bottles for hydration breaks
First aid kit
How we will set it up
We mark out lanes and stations on a field, court or open hall space, with extra room for safety between activities.
Children are grouped into small, mixed teams, and we introduce each game with a short demonstration.
Teams rotate through stations, such as spoon and egg, sack hop, three-legged and bean bag toss.
Each game can be adapted on the spot, with slower options, shorter distances or sit-down versions so every child can take part.
We finish with a relay finale that combines the games, with everyone receiving a participation ribbon or sticker.
Splish and Splash Games
Involves students taking part in a series of fun water-based games and relays, such as sponge passing, bucket filling, target spraying and water balloon-style “splash” challenges using sponge balls. Children work together in teams to complete each challenge while cooling off and having plenty of laughs. It’s a lively, high-energy activity that builds coordination and teamwork, and it works best on warmer days.
Resources supplied
Buckets, tubs and large water containers
Sponges, sponge balls and plastic cups
Spray bottles and squirty water toys
Target boards and hoops for aiming games
Funnels, guttering and pipes for team water-run challenges
Team bibs or coloured bands
Towels and spare drop sheets
Cones and markers to set out stations
Sun-safe shade and a first aid kit
How we will set it up
We choose a safe outdoor space (or covered area) with grass or non-slip ground and mark out stations with cones.
Children are divided into small, mixed-ability teams, with each team starting at a different station.
We begin with a quick warm-up game and explain the rules, including walking near water and taking turns.
Teams rotate through challenges, such as the sponge relay, the bucket-fill challenge, spray-the-target and the pipe water run.
The session finishes with a group cooldown, with no winners or losers, just a celebration of everyone’s effort.
Our team handles all setup, water collection and drying equipment afterwards.
Mini Ninja Course
Involves students tackling a custom-built obstacle course that includes balancing, crawling, jumping, climbing and weaving challenges. Children move through at their own pace, choosing easier or harder options at each obstacle and cheering on their classmates. The course can be themed to match a class topic, such as jungle explorers, space missions or superheroes.
Resources supplied
Low balance beams and stepping stones
Tunnels, hoops and foam hurdles
Soft mats and crash pads
Cones, ropes and agility ladders
Climbing frames or foam blocks (age-appropriate)
Bean bags and targets for throwing stations
Team bibs or coloured bands
Themed props, such as “lava” mats or “jungle” vines
First aid kit
How we will set it up
Our team builds the course before the session, with clear start and finish points and plenty of space between obstacles.
We introduce the course with a group walkthrough and a safety talk about taking turns and moving at your own pace.
Each obstacle offers a “choose your challenge” option, such as a low or high beam, a short or long jump or a crawl or walk option.
Children move through the course in small groups, encouraging one another along the way.
The session ends with a team challenge, such as completing the course together or designing a new obstacle.
