Val Sabin, the creator of Action Kids, was asked by Sainsbury’s to design a series of playground activities for Active Kids 2010. Val has taken 20 activities from her Action Kids, Positive Play, Games, Athletics and Action Kids Parachute Games teaching manuals and created a resource pack for free downloading.

Helping children grow and learn with the country's best educational provider of fun sessions using music, movement & games, creative storytelling and imaginative play.
Action Kids is all about physical development with fun for children up to the age of 7 years. The materials have been specially designed for regular use in nurseries, reception classes, playgroups and by childminders, parents and grandparents etc. Some of the materials are suitable for groups and others for individuals at home.
Whatever the setting, the activities promote the development of locomotor skills, manipulative skills, physical fitness, coordination and balance in enjoyable and creative ways.
The Action Kids activities access all six areas of learning and development in the Early Years Foundation Stage and gradually develop physical fluent individuals..
As a parent it is reassuring to know all these crucial areas of a child's development are being addressed within an Action Kids session. However, as a child (blissfully unaware of the huge educational benefits) it is an adventure through the enchanted forest, into the land of the giant and fairies to have a tea party with the little short and stout teapot.
The activities have also been developed and incorporated into detailed session plans for Action Kids Clubs, the core of which form a progressive and developmental programme. These clubs are run by fully trained and experienced licensees and encourage learning and development through music, movement, games, creative story telling and imaginative play.
Action Kids children develop their physical, creative, social and emotional capabilities in a fun and friendly environment
