FAQ

Do you have a question about using the Skills Box?

In this FAQ you’ll quickly find the answer. From practical tips about materials to ordering new parts – here you can read everything you need to know to make the most of the Skills Box in your school.

 

A. How do you use the Skills Box?
  • Before a break, all students – or a few play captains from the upper grades – check the platform.

  • They choose a fun game, watch the short video or lesson card, and immediately know what to do.

  • They take the materials themselves from the Skills Box. Sometimes the play captains prepare them in advance for the lower or middle grades.

  • And then: it’s time to play! One day a ball game, another day a challenge with cones – always varied and fun.

B. How do you organize the Skills Box?

  • Heavy items, such as scooters or skateboards, go on the bottom.

  • Keep small materials together neatly in a crate or container.

  • Place safety gear like helmets on top.

  • Collect all balls in the ball net.

  • After playing, everyone helps to put everything back in its fixed place.

  • Together, check that everything is complete and tidy.

  • Done! The Skills Box is ready again for the next break or lesson.

C. How do you replace broken materials?

  • Sometimes something breaks – that’s part of playing actively.

  • Set broken items aside and tell the teacher what needs to be replaced.

  • New materials can easily be ordered by the school via our website.

  • This way, the Skills Box stays complete and always ready for use.

D. Can the Skills Box be adapted to special needs or levels?

  • Yes! The Skills Box is flexible and can be adjusted for different ages, levels, or special needs.

  • The lesson cards show variations and difficulty levels, so everyone can join in.
