This fun and creative lesson plan helps children get active by working together to create a unique active adventure race. Each child is responsible for designing their own section of the course.

The Mini Mudder Adventure lesson plan is based on the Active Inspiration Play Makers approach, created by Virgin Active and the University of Bedfordshire, which aims to explore new methods of teaching PE and re-establish the subject as an integral part of primary education.

Play Makers draws from Dr Vicky Goodyear’s initial work on Cooperative Learning – contact her via Twitter at @Vgoodyear to find out more.
