Shake things up with these bite-sized activities…

[Perrin Fox]

Public Health England have devised a ‘Shake Up Toolkit’ that is easy to use and offers plenty of ideas for inclusively getting your class moving! Use this LINK to find out more.

Who is it for? Here is PHEs explanation about who might benefit from these activities,
“It’s time to shake things up as pupils go on an active journey with some of their favourite characters! These engaging Disney, Pixar and Marvel inspired activities are designed to be fun and flexible, so they can be used at different times throughout the school day, without a PE kit. The activities support Relationships Education and Health Education, with opportunities for pupils to reflect on how being active can benefit their wellbeing.”

If you are worried it won’t be linked to the curriculum PHE have thought of that too:
“Supports the Relationships Education and Health Education statutory guidance
