We work with schools, community groups and play organisations across the Bristol area to deliver Out to Play activities, working to enhance the potential for play in outdoor spaces in a variety of ways.
TRAINING
We currently offer training on a variety of outdoor play and environmental education topics.
We offer starter days in outdoor play, teaching the safe use of kelly kettles, rope swings, den building, wide games and other challenges. We also offer Out to Play training days to accompany our activity packs.
We can respond to your current needs in outdoor play & imaginative environmental education.
OUTDOOR PLAY RESOURCES
We are developing a lending library of specialist resources for outdoor play, available for organisations to borrow for a basic membership rate.
PUZZLE ISLAND
Puzzle Island is an innovative new game for children designed to encourage play and exploration out and about in the local environment. Within a set of playful scenarios, children physically navigate Puzzle Island - a mysterious island in their own local environment.
Exploring ideas, completing fun tasks and solving challenges as they go, the children who participate in the Puzzle Island game will earn magic credits & rewards that can be exchanged for items and clues to help them further with their quest. Through the course of the game they will reveal their own unique stories and add their ideas, developing the intrigue of Puzzle Island.
Through the playful scenarios the Puzzle Island game facilitates problem-solving, creative imagination and co-operative skills in outdoor settings; it is a game based in play and discovery in nearby natural environments.
Puzzle Island operates both nationally and locally in Bristol, S. Gloucestershire & N. Somerset. We work in partnership with different groups to deliver relevant play activities and events, providing the all the resources needed for the game, – but of course, each island is of its own making!
