Active April Calendar

Our Active April Calendar offers 30 simple, child-friendly activities to help children move, play, and enjoy daily bursts of activity throughout the month. Each day includes a short, fun prompt such as skipping, jumping, dancing, running, or trying a mini obstacle course. These playful ideas encourage children to be active, develop coordination, and explore movement in a safe and supportive way.

The benefits of using this Calendar include:

• Promoting physical wellbeing by encouraging daily movement and healthy activity habits.
• Supporting focus and regulation through active play that helps children release energy and return to tasks with calm and attention.
• Building self-awareness by helping children notice how their body feels during different activities.
• Encouraging a positive, active environment where play, movement, and fun are part of everyday routines.
• Creating lifelong healthy habits that help children enjoy activity beyond April and into daily life.

The Calendar can be used in classrooms, small groups, or at home. Children can follow one prompt each day, or dip in whenever they want to move, have fun, or feel energised.

Designed to be printed on A3 for display or A4 for individual use, it’s a colourful and engaging way to fill April with activity, play, and joyful movement.
