From playful learning advocate Blair Minchin, this book provides a rich toolbox of inclusive activities for using play to engage pupils in the primary classroom throughout Key Stages 1 and 2.

- Sections dedicated to each major curriculum area
- A broad range of fun and flexible ideas
- Discover activities such as Coding Cones, which teaches the principles of coding without using a computer, mental maths hopscotch, and Magnet Mazes to teach physics.
- Each of the ideas is easy to try and to adapt
- All ideas have been trialled – and enjoyed! – with pupils.

Studies have shown that engaged, playful learning can improve academic performance at all ages (not just early years) and reduce absenteeism. Use these 100 ideas to build your pupils' creativity, curiosity, resilience whilst having plenty of fun and boosting enthusiasm in your classroom!
