Active school day ideas

Use these flexible, Disney inspired games and activity ideas to encourage activity throughout the school day, even outside of typically active times.

They are designed to be delivered by supervisors, teaching assistants or older pupils, as well as teachers.

The activities are perfect for use during line-up, at breakfast or after-school clubs, during playtime or wet break, or for in-class or end-of-term activity. You could even get families involved during drop-off or pick-up.
