Peaceful Playground Program Kit

The playground is an essential part of any school and every community. Children spend many hours of their day occupying themselves with what the playground has to offer. The nearby neighborhood may enjoy both its appearance and its utility.

With the Peaceful Playgrounds Program Kit, you can transform your playground into a colorful arrangement of games kids love to play.

Design permanent playground activities that help make activity time more positive and productive: hopscotch, four square, basketball, and handball are just a few of the nearly 100 activities that can be added. The program is intended to maximize the number of students involved in physical activity, rather than having them wait in line, or just stand around talking.

Add 100 permanent games and activities to your playground

Each of 4 Blueprints and Activity Guides assists you with measurements, layout, spacing, game placement, and overall design. Also included are conflict resolution strategies, teacher training and playground supervisor training materials to complete the package and insure success! Set up is easy and can be done by members of the school staff and parents.
