The School of Play Curriculum

At The School of Play, learning isn’t just academic, it’s holistic. Our curriculum weaves together physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development through a weekly rhythm grounded in our Daily PEGG framework (Play, Exercise, Gratitude, Giving). Each week begins with lively play-based activities, which energise students, build connections, and foster creativity and problem-solving. These set the tone for deeper reflection in written activities, where students pause to articulate their feelings, set personal goals, and think critically about their growth.

‍

Complementing these foundations, our gratitude and giving activities help cultivate empathy and generosity by encouraging students to reflect on both personal and community strengths. Exercise and movement sessions offer fun, inclusive ways to support physical well-being, mental clarity, and concentration. Finally, our Respectful Relationships modules are integrated through interactive games, discussions, and reflective tasks. These modules help students explore vital themes such as consent, diversity, power dynamics, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation.

The Six Superpowers of Play webinar by The School of Play is a dynamic 50-minute experience designed to equip educators and families with practical, research-backed strategies to counteract the growing challenges of screen time, stress, and disconnection. With technology increasingly dominating young people's lives, this session explores how intentional, play-based approaches can be the antidote to digital overload. Through six clearly defined "superpowers," participants discover how play can rebuild connection, enhance well-being, and bring joy and movement back into daily life. The webinar offers real-world examples, playful activities, and powerful insights that show just how easily play can be embedded into classrooms, even when time and resources are limited.

Whether you're looking to energise a tired class, nurture student voice, or build social-emotional skills, this webinar provides a simple yet powerful blueprint for using play as the glue that brings learning and people back together.
