Why Schools Are Jumping on the Giant Game Train

It’s not just fun and games—well, okay, it kind of is. But giant games are fast becoming a staple in Aussie schools and childcare centres because they’re so much more than oversized entertainment.

  • ✔ Encourage teamwork and social skills without feeling “too educational”
  • ✔ Boost motor development, coordination, and critical thinking
  • ✔ Easy to set up indoors or outdoors for all-weather flexibility
  • ✔ Help create inclusive play spaces for a wide range of ages and abilities

Teachers love that kids are learning without even realising it. Kids love that it doesn’t feel like learning at all.
