Activity details

This set of resources was originally launched during the 2020 school summer holidays. It was designed in response to the fact that, during lockdown, the number of children achieving the recommended 60 active minutes per day dropped from just under half to only one in five.

These Active Board Games activities include activities, games and challenges for all occasions and for all the family. Whether you're indoors, outdoors, at home, in a park, on a beach or even in a tent, there's something for everyone!
