Questions from teachers
How much space do we need?
Even a small playground is enough. Primary activities can also run in classrooms and corridors.
Can you help us prepare for school competitions?
Yes. We run team training for middle and high school pupils before school sport competitions.
Do teachers need experience?
No. That’s what the workshop is for, and the activity cards include step-by-step instructions.
Will the map belong to the school?
Yes. The school grounds map is shared with you and can be reprinted for lessons.
