Playworks London

Gordon Primary School, Golfe Road, Ilford, London IG1 1SU

BACKGROUND

Playworks is the leading U.S. nonprofit leveraging the power of play to transform children’s social and emotional health. We partner with schools, districts, after-school programs, and other youth-serving organizations to ensure that kids experience physical activity and safe, meaningful play every day.

WHY WE PLAY

Research suggests that students who play develop healthier lifestyles, are more attentive in class, and achieve greater academic, social, and emotional success. Playworks offers simple, externally-validated strategies that are designed to get kids in the game and make playtime safe, inclusive, and fun for everyone.

THE IDEA

Calling all teachers, principals, school staff, and youth development professionals!

YOU have the power to be an active promoter of play, and Playworks is here to help.

Step 1) During your ChangeX 30 Day Challenge, you will take a short quiz to assess safety, engagement, and empowerment during playtime at your school or program. The results will help you develop your starter action plan!

Step 2) After ChangeX releases the funding for your idea, you and your starter team will receive access to SparkPlay, our brand-new online training platform. The subscription includes weekly email touchpoints showcasing curated games, activities, and helpful tips.

Step 3) Now it's time to connect with a Playworks expert! You and your starter team will receive customized, 1:1 consultation that will dive into evidence-based play practices and help you set realistic goals for improvement.

Step 4) Get the right equipment! You will use the funding you received from ChangeX to order supplies from the Playworks recommended equipment list.

Step 5) Little by little, you and your starter team will start implementing Playworks games and strategies at your school or program.

IMPACT

Small changes can make a big impact! After 6 months, you'll take another quiz to reassess your playtime to see if the games and play practices that you implemented have impacted safety, engagement, and empowerment.
