National School Sports Week is back, and this year, it's bigger and better than ever! From June 17th to 23rd, we're calling all families to champion the importance of 60 minutes a day of PE, sport, and play. It's not just about fun; it's about ensuring a healthier, happier future for every child.
Why does it matter?
Research shows that regular physical activity doesn't just benefit our bodies; it enhances our mental health, social wellbeing, and even brain function. And here's the best part: achieving those 60 active minutes doesn't have to be daunting. With schools covering 30 minutes of the daily goal, families can make the most of the remaining time. Every step counts, whether it's standing up and moving more, balancing screen time with other activities, or prioritising rest and hydration.
What’s in it for you?
As a bonus, when you sign up for National School Sports Week, you'll automatically be entered for a chance to WIN a LEGO sport bundle worth over £200! Imagine the joy on your child's face as they dive into hours of creative play with their new LEGO set.
Getting your family involved
Getting active as a family has never been easier. The Youth Sport Trust offers a treasure trove of FREE resources designed to make physical activity fun and accessible. From outdoor adventures to indoor games, there's something for everyone. Take a walk in the park, dance to your favourite tunes, or hold a garden sports day – the options are endless.
But don't stop there!
Encourage your child's school to join the movement, too. National School Sports Week isn't just about families; schools will benefit from FREE resources, crafted by young people for young people, ensure a dynamic blend of football and multi-sport activities suitable for all ages and key stages.
Seize the moment and sign up now for your chance to win a LEGO bundle worth over £200. Together, let's make every minute count and create lasting memories!
