Resources to help you host Sports Day at home!

'As we near the end of the final term, we all know that Sports Day is a day that many children look forward to. Sadly, this year they will not get the opportunity to enjoy this day. We wanted to provide schools with a way of bringing the fun and excitement of sports day to the homes of children. ........We want to make this resource accessible to every school and family, hopefully turning that end of year sports day in to a reality for the children, and bringing some well needed happiness to children in these challenging times.'
Daragh McDaid, Director Sligo Education Centre.

Sligo Education Centre have created a simple site to help to create a sports day at home for all the family.

The different activities are based upon the Move Well, Move Often Programme developed by the Professional Development Service for Teachers. The aim is to develop the physical literacy of the child through the lens of the core fundamental movement skills.

There are 6 different task areas with three different levels of difficulty. There is a video instruction for each task on the website linked above.
