Playworks Ireland

The Idea

Playworks is a primary school based programme designed to improve break times for children and teachers. Playworks creates inclusive environments for play and physical activity both within and beyond the school day to build empathy, increase learning and improve behaviour, with research showing essential benefits to child development, an improved school climate and more focused students.

Schools in Tipperary can now apply to get a place on a Playworks Summer Course and access to PlayworksU.[Click here to Get Started] (http://www.changex.org/playworks/start).

Playworks trainers use customised, high-energy workshops, along with coaching and support to teach teachers play strategies, how to use games and group management techniques to teach children how to play well together, share, resolve conflicts and develop leadership skills. Break time is designed to become a more active and inclusive experience for all students.

Playworks presents a fun, simple and effective way to ensure children in your school are getting the most from break time!
