What are they and what do they involve?
The specifics of an indoor activity centre can vary greatly, but they are all places where you can participate in some sort of fun experience! Music tuition, dance, sports, and various workshops are all activities you may find at an indoor activity centre, but the specifics will differ between venues. A popular type of this venue is a soft play centre for pupils under 11, which can involve slides, ball pits and many more fun pieces of equipment to play on!
What are the benefits?
Indoor activity centres can help with many varied aspects of a student’s development – doing activities such as these will help with team building and the group dynamic will allow quieter students to build up their confidence without feeling pressured to perform. Soft play areas are also great ways of developing younger children's hand-eye coordination and physical movement in a safe and supervised environment.
What students is it suitable for?
There will be activities available for students of all ages and interests at indoor activity centres!
Costs?
Prices will vary between activities, but are usually quite cheap (under £5) per person to join in with.
Safety Implications?
Indoor activity centres are pretty risk free, but you should always exercise caution with any pursuit that involves physical activity, especially when over-enthusiastic youngsters are concerned.
