Fun Active Games for groups
We offer free fun active taster games to demonstrate how your group can build physical activity into regular get-togethers in a fun and sociable way.
Research shows that adding a little extra physical activity into daily routines makes it more likely that someone will enjoy a long and healthy life, and that it’s never too late to start.
Our Healthy Active Ageing Trainer is available to host tasters of our fun active games, Body Boosting Bingo or Power Quiz, online or in-person. These games incorporate light physical movements that develop strength, balance and flexibility in older adults, and that are based on research evidence. There are seated and standing options for each movement. Taster sessions typically last one hour.
Body Boosting Bingo
A firm favourite with older people’s groups, Body Boosting Bingo is a game of bingo, with a twist.
Free workshops for hosting your own fun, active games
We offer workshops for professionals, and volunteer community organisers, who would like to host our fun active games with their groups. The workshop covers:
- Physical activity in later life: what research says and public health guidelines.
- An introduction to Age Scotland's fun and active resources: Power Quiz, Body Boosting Bingo and Around the House in 80 Days.
- An opportunity to try out leading these activities.
- How to plan, promote, and safely run sessions based on these resources.
Those completing the workshop will receive materials to run sessions (subject to terms and conditions). Our fun active games resources are free for use with older people in Scotland. They are available for use outside of Scotland under a license arrangement; to find out more, email us.
