This online workshop is a bespoke version of the PlayVenture virtual training as delivered by Boing Kids. They are specialists in developing and delivering resources and courses to support teachers, coaches and volunteers to make their sessions more active, inclusive and fun than ever by helping children to develop their physical literacy through the power of play!

The 2 hour session ran as a virtual classroom and was lead by an expert coach educator who first demonstrated the mechanics of coaching inclusive and active play and highlighted the key principles of the Boing approach of learning through play. They explored the Boing PlayTank - an online forum of over 120+ PlayGames and helpful resources to help you expand your practice which includes a curriculum designed to align with Ofsted and their Play Up club designed to help parent support the principles at home.

The session also covered ways to use and adapt their PlayGames to accommodate all children with a bespoke focus on delivering games/physical activities with a theme of Healthy Lifestyles, Environmental Awareness, and adapted activities to support children with SEND using minimal equipment and space. 

PLEASE NOTE: Games are suitable for Primary School children aged 5-12yrs.
