Active Play sessions

Since 1991 we have been helping children to get active whilst having fun and learning together. As part of our mission, we provide free Active Play sessions to selected primary schools across the UK.

Active Play sessions get children active through a positive and inclusive set of games and activities. In the past three years, over 30,000 children have enjoyed these sessions. Sessions are led by our experienced, enthusiastic and DBS checked ‘Red Top’ coaches.

Active Play sessions are fully funded, and we would love to run one at your school.

At the end of the day when parents were collecting their child, you could hear children talking about how amazing and fun it was. I even saw a child playing ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ with their parent at the end of the day! Mr. Robinson – Assistant Head Teacher
I have nothing but high praise for Kings. They are professional, enthusiastic and create a fabulous ethos for the children’s learning. Their activities have clear links with outdoor learning, active learning, interdisciplinary learning, social and emotional development as well as problem-solving skills, innovative thinking and creativity.
