Active games for preschool children
30th September 2026
Physical activity is important for people of all ages. To help preschools incorporate more physical activity into their daily routines, a series of session plans featuring a variety of active games has been developed. These plans are now available on the "Health-Promoting Preschool" website.

The games are designed for both younger and older children. Some are intended for indoor play, while others are for outdoor play; however, all of them can be adapted to suit specific circumstances and environments.
Parents can also use these sheets to find ideas for fun, active games to play with their children during their free time.
