A dull and uninspiring outdoor area can leave the user feeling unexcited, or even lead to them misbehaving at break times. Investing a little love into your school playground and making even simple changes to the outdoor environment can improve the space and the students’ behaviour. It’s important for children to be stimulated both inside and outside of the classroom.

Identify your problem areas like areas out of bounds, disrepair, restricted areas, unused areas and create something inspiring.
