Resources for Teachers & other Key Workers

Primary Activity Mats

Our primary activity mats are designed for children at Key Stages 1 and 2 to support their learning while in school or at home. The activities aim to provide opportunities to explore medical themes and reassure young people (and their families around them). They are designed to encourage self-care and support wellbeing, but importantly to be fun and engaging.

See also our Return to School Resources – these include a number of activities suitable for online teaching.
