THE
MOVEMENT
PROJECT

Where every kid moves.

Play-based movement sessions for primary schools, kinders and school holiday programs. We bring the games, the gear and the energy. Your kids just move.

What we offer

We come to you.

Movement sessions that run on site, in your gym, your hall or out on the court. Same play-based approach for every group, pitched to the age and energy of the kids in front of us.

Primary schools

Whole-class sessions of 40 to 50 minutes, Foundation to Year 6. We can run a few classes back to back in one visit, so a whole year level gets a turn.

Kinders

Shorter, simpler sessions for 3 to 5 year olds. Lots of play, lots of movement, and a routine little ones pick up fast.

School holiday programs

Incursions for vacation care. We bring a session to your holiday program so the kids get a day they talk about, and your team has one less day to plan.

Not sure what would suit your school or service? Email us and we'll work it out together.

Where we've been

Four classes at Cambridge Primary School.

This term we ran sessions with four Year 6 classes at Cambridge Primary School, 20 to 25 kids in each. Warm up, a game to get everyone going, three stations, and a finish that sent them back to class buzzing.

Some of the biggest energy came from the kids who find a full day at a desk the hardest. That's exactly who this is for.

For wellbeing leads and teachers

Easy to say yes to.

Linked to the curriculum

Sessions line up with Victorian Curriculum Health and Physical Education, Foundation to Year 6, plus kinder. Ask us for the one-pager.

Nothing for you to plan

We bring the games and the gear and run the session start to finish. Teachers can step back or jump in, and the kids love it when they do.

Every kid joins in

Games get tailored up or down on the spot, so kids of every ability and energy level get a go, including kids with extra support needs.

Same faces each visit

The same facilitators come back each time, so kids know who's turning up and settle in fast.

How a session runs

Same flow, every time.

Kids settle faster when they know what's coming, so the shape of the session stays the same even when the games change.

1. Warm up

Get bodies moving and bring the whole group together.

2. A game to lift the energy

A quick group game so everyone's switched on and having a laugh.

3. Stations

The class splits into three groups and rotates through three stations, so every kid stays busy.

4. Finish on a high

One last game, settle the energy, and back to class smiling.

Primary sessions run 40 to 50 minutes. Kinder sessions are shorter.

About

Built by locals, made for every kid.

The Movement Project is Arlou and Mo, two locals deeply involved in the community. Kids spend most of the day being told to sit still. We built sessions where every kid gets told to go for it.

We started out running small inclusive groups for kids with disability, and that's still at the heart of how we work: nobody sits on the sideline, and every kid joins in their own way. Now we take that same approach into schools, kinders and school holiday programs so more kids get a go.

It's not about drills or benchmarks. It's about kids feeling good in their own body, having a laugh with their mates, and walking out a bit braver than they walked in.

FAQ

Common questions.

What ages do you work with?

3 to 12. Kinder through to Year 6, plus school holiday programs.

How long is a session, and how many kids?

A whole class, usually 20 to 25 kids, for 40 to 50 minutes. Kinder sessions are shorter. We can run several sessions back to back in one visit.

What do you need from us?

A space to move (gym, hall, multipurpose room or outdoor court) and a teacher or educator in the room. We bring everything else.

Does it link to the curriculum?

Yes. Sessions line up with Victorian Curriculum Health and Physical Education from Foundation to Year 6, and with kinder learning outcomes. Email us and we'll send the one-pager.

What about kids who need extra support?

That's where we started, so we're set up for it. Games get adjusted on the spot, kids can take a break or join in a different way, and we keep the teacher in the loop.

What does it cost?

It depends on how many sessions and how often. Email us and we'll put together a quote that suits your school or service.

Can you send through your checks and insurance?

Yes. Ask us and we'll send the details before we visit.

I'm a parent. Can my kid join?

We run through schools, kinders and school holiday programs rather than directly with families. If you'd love us at your kid's school, let them know or send us their details and we'll reach out.
