Playleader Training
As part of our Playdays initiative our staff work with the Children’s Steering Group to train older children to become Playleaders.
What is Playleader training?
We train groups of 8 to 12-year-olds to become leaders of play in their own communities.
After two training sessions, participants receive a Playleader certificate and badge.
To earn this qualification they must complete and record homework tasks leading play activities in their own street, club, school or at The Greenhouse Project and pass the following modules:
- Skills needed for leading
- Skills needed for working with children
- How to organise and play games
- Health and safety
- How to look after equipment
Testimonials
“Training children to be play leaders is amazing, such a good idea,”
“The kids had so much fun in the session, I don’t think they realised how much they actually learned. Even I learned something new,” teacher, Smithdown Primary.
