The School Challenge is a school bag packed with games and activities that can be used in schools, at recreation centres, in the playground or at home.
The activities are primarily aimed at children aged 10–14, but they can obviously be adapted for other age groups as well.
Each activity comprises the following materials:

• Learning goals (the activities are matched to daily school curricula.
• Detailed description of the game or activity
• Illustrated step-by-step teaching instructions
• List of equipment required (balls, skittles etc)
• Materials for printing out (quiz cards, playing boards etc)

The School Challenge has made it easy for you: just choose an activity, read the teaching instructions, and print out the materials – then you’re ready to put health on the school timetable!

If you need to refresh your understanding of healthy lifestyle before you visit a school, you will find inspiration and useful background information written for children and adults under Healthy eating, Stay active! and Diabetes knowledge brush-up. Under Feedback: articles and photos you can also read about School Challenge activities that have already taken place.
