· Takes place on Tuesdays after school
· Open to KS2 children
· Club Leaders – Mrs Wilcox and Mrs Shirley
Children had opportunities to play a range of board games, card games and IWB games (e.g. activities from CBBC website) each session. There were opportunities for children to play paired games or group games, and make requests for specific activities. Children also had the option of bringing in one of their games from home (with permission from parent/carer) to teach other children how to play it.
Some games involved strategy (e.g. Top Trumps, Dominos), some involved aspects of Maths (e.g. Monopoly, Pop to the Shops), some involved building/structure challenges (e.g. Tetris Jenga, Suspend, Ker-Plunk), some involved luck (e.g. Snakes & Ladders, Bingo) and others involved acting out/guessing challenges (e.g. What a Performance). Children particularly enjoyed playing Bingo for prizes!
Activities were child-led and staff responded to children’s interests in providing particular games. Children were supported with understanding game rules, taking turns, playing fairly, compromising where necessary, and how to cope with winning and losing.
Children also engaged with quizzes as part of the club – these were a mixture of multiple choice, and picture quizzes. This enabled children to work in teams/pairs, which supported communication and social interaction skills, and promoted healthy competition and collaboration. Staff sourced puzzle and quiz activities for: Halloween, Bonfire Night, and Christmas. Different paper-based puzzles were explored as part of this, such as mazes/wordsearches/anagrams – children enjoyed having some additional challenges, and a range of puzzle options. During club sessions, children were also given the opportunity to compile their own quiz questions if they wanted to.
