Are you alert to signs of bullying?

A third of all girls and a quarter of all boys are at some time afraid of going to school because of bullying. Make playtime popular by providing the structured break-time activities found in Playground Games.

A full set of resources

The pack provides a compilation of over 50 favourite games. The rules of each are presented clearly and simply on separate sheets. Most are attractively illustrated and all the sheets can be copied and stored as a resource for staff, break-time assistants and older children. Great emphasis is placed on providing variety. Many of the games need no equipment or will appeal to quieter children looking for less active play. Any equipment required is simple, safe and inexpensive.
