Student Voice Promote Positive Playtime
Therese Hoyle, bestselling author of 101 Playground Games, recently visited the Lower Academy to support our Year 7 students during social times, introducing lots of new games.
Members of Student Voice had the opportunity to become Playground Leaders, embracing the responsibility to teach active games to their peers at break and lunchtimes. Our newly designated Playground Leaders also created their own shopping list of items they think will support social interaction and promote positive play.
Students played games such as relay brain activities and modernised some traditional games like ‘Stuck in the Mud’ and ‘What's the Time Mr Wolf’.
A playground partner will;
"Make sure no one is alone or left out of games."
"Help everybody be included in some fun games."
"Meet girls from the other classes because there's lots that might want to enter the clapping championships.”
