The Bainisteoir Beag playground leader’s programme was designed by Kilkenny Recreation and Sports Partnership to encourage pupil led activities during break times in school. The aim of the programme is to train pupils in fifth and sixth class as playground leaders. At break times they organise lots of fun activities for the younger classes in the school.
What's Included?KRSP tutors will deliver leadership training in your school to 5th or 6th class students. Two to three hours should be allowed for this training. The school will receive a resource pack. There are a range of activity cards in this pack
that can be used by the children to plan, organise and implement their mini-sessions.
Each activity card contains one game. There is an illustration of how the game might look, the equipment needed, key points, safety points and also tips on how to make each activity easier and harder. There are also a number of exercise
cards. These can be used for the ‘Orienteering’ card, but also for the’ Rainy Day’ card – they are exercises that can be done indoors if the weather is bad. Some of these exercises could be used by the teachers during the school day if the
children needed a little ‘brain break’ during class time!
A rota could be used to help organise the leaders and activities for the week. The leaders should try to include as wide a variety of activities as possible so that the younger children get to try a range of games and learn many new
skills.
