Giant Games at School

Collaboration - school children working together on the Wall Ball game.

What makes a really great last day of term? Giant games of course!

Giant games work really well in the school environment and hiring games means you can vary the games on offer giving the children something new and exciting to interact with.

“Play is the highest form of research.”

Albert Einstein

Whilst the kids are having fun and enjoying this unique activity at the end of term they are actually practising skills that may help them learn.

Playing games most importantly engages children, a mix of the familiar but super sized games such as Giant Connect 4 and Giant 0’s and X’s mixed with new innovative games with interesting mechanisms, shapes and even sounds piques curiosity.

A group play Zig Zag - everyone is engaged eager to see what score the player will get.

The kids are engaged and having fun but they are also practising:

Fine motor skills and concentration

Taking turns

Supporting others

Tactics and strategy

Self control and dealing with disappointment

There is so much to be learned from playing games that the list could go on and on.

Playing games can help provide a low stress, fun learning opportunity to build skills needed for life as well as enriching relationships with each other.
