This June, The Scottish out of School Care Network is offering a 2-hour training session to assist services in creating a summer games event within their service. During the two-hour session participants will be introduced to 5 games that will make up the summer games activities. There will also be some 'quick games' demonstrated for services to use around the main games. Participants will be shown different ways to lay out the games along with how to make sure all children's abilities are met.

Services will be taken through creative ways they can involve the children in preparing for the games, for example involving arts and craft to create a baton for a relay. Other art and craft activities may involve making medals, t-shirts, and flags. Services will have the opportunities to take notes and write down ideas as the session goes on regarding how the ideas presented may fit into their specific service layout.

Services will also be given a 'how to' guide after the training to take back to their service to begin the planning of their summer games.
