As a leading provider of thermoplastic playground markings, we are often asked for the best outdoor games for children that all ages can enjoy during their break times. To help you create an engaging outdoor games area for your pupils we have rounded up our top ideas, some great examples of outdoor games for early years and primary school students include:ย
Traditional playground games
Traditional playground games continue to be popular amongst pupils of all ages! Games such as hopscotch, snakes and ladders and mile trails provide endless fun for years to come.
Team games
Team games are ideal for keeping pupils entertained, using sports court areas and equipment for competitive fun! Having an area with multiple courts outlines for pupils to utilise is great for outdoor games for students.ย
Educational games
Help pupils extend their learning into the playground with some educational outdoor games for students. Number grids, puzzles and mazes are fantastic examples of educational games for your students. These games will also stand the test of time and help pupils develop their understanding of a subject in an informal setting.
Wellbeing games
We are seeing a rise in requests for wellbeing and emotion-understanding games for pupils in primary schools. Helping children to understand their emotions and feelings with creative markings and playground designs can encourage key development stages within your pupils.
