Action Stations

Action Stations is a simple fun activity, engaging a leader to call out instructions for pupils to follow. Each pupil has a ball/beanbag and travels around the play space and then throws & catch it, passes it around their body, swaps it with others players (or other instructions) each time they hear an instruction called out. An ever changing challenging activity which helps to develop listening, coordination and manipulation skills. ·
