Get more Active with Games4Life!

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 11:00 AM PDT

Teachers who are in need of physical education ideas can now get their schools involved with a new initiative called Games4Life! It is set up as part of the NHS’s Change4Life campaign. Games4Life aims to harness the fun and excitement around the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to inspire children and their families to get more active. The team has created Games4Life packs containing lots of fantastic ideas for primary teachers and schoolchildren to make the most of the energy and excitement of summer 2012.

If you’re a primary school teacher, you can get your hands on a Games4Life pack for your school by registering as a local supporter at www.nhs.uk/c4lregister. If you're already a Change4Life local supporter, keep an eye out for the Change4Life newsletter which will have details on how to order your pack. Teachers need to register by the end of March to be in with a chance of ordering a pack, so register now!

There are lots of other resources on the great Change4Life site, so it’s well worth exploring there too!
