Game On! Programs may be offered either in schools or as a community initiative.
In –School
The Game On! Schools program addresses the need for quality physical education programs for children. It is intended to be overseen by physical education instructors in the schools during the time allotted for physical education classes. Prior to running these programs, the teacher or physical education instructor must go through the appropriate Game On! Certified Training Course. The Game On! School program targets elementary schools and focuses on the introduction of fundamental motor skills for 5 – 7 year olds; transitioning to modified sport for 8-12 year olds. Sessions are presented around themes and are designed to meet internationally accepted standards of physical education.
Community Program
Game On! may also be introduced as an After-School Community Program, providing opportunities for children between the ages of 5 to 12 to participate in organized sport and physical activity outside of their normal school day. The Game On! Community Program maintains the same ideals of the In-School Program, but is centered on cycles of selected sports. During a cycle which may last about 3 months, children are exposed to a range of fun activities linked to one selected sport. At the end of each cycle, children can participate in the Skills Challenge Festival and then choose another sport. Depending on the number of children and the available facilities, there may be more than one sport cycle running at any given time in the community.
