The planner has been designed for classroom teachers to plan and deliver regular physical activity sessions - whether in the form of morning fitness, class/year-group sport, or Friday afternoon sport! KIDDO has pre-filled your schedule with activities, however, the planner is customisable, and you can choose the activities that suit you.
Questions we answer here:
- Where do I find the planner?
- What is the planner for?
- How do I change the activities in the planner?
- Can I schedule more than one activity each day?
- How far in advance can I schedule the activities?
- Can I print off the planner?
