Do you need new ideas to continue being active, or would you like to know where to start? We have produced these activity cards which will are now available to download from our website here.
The cards were originally aimed at people leading sessions but also work brilliantly for us all in our homes. There are a number of activities which could be used:
- in a warm-up;
- to introduce fundamental skills;
- for striking and fielding type activities and games;
- for net, court and wall-based games; and
- for invasion games.

- Use a ribbon or old shirt for a target.
The most important thing is to have fun, fun and more fun!
