Back to the Playground

Friday 27th of March 2026

National Skipping Day is an annual celebration promoting movement, fun, and teamwork in schools across the UK. This year, with the theme “Back to the Playground,” children are invited to rediscover traditional skipping games that enhance coordination, cooperation, and active play.

By registering your school, you’ll receive a set of free downloadable resources, including playground favourite rhymes & games, and an example video. Each school will also receive a personalised commemorative certificate to mark their participation.
