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.
