Indoor and outdoor active play

Active play is essentially physical activity with spontaneous and occasional bursts of high energy. It can occur indoors or 

outdoors, alone or with friends and family. Even before children can walk, they can start playing. As they get older and 

learn more skills, opportunities for active play increase.



Active play is important for your child’s health, growth and development. 

Regular activity and play has many benefits for children. These include:

• Building strong hearts, muscles and bones.  • Fostering social interaction skills.

• Developing movement and co-ordination.     • Improving thinking skills.

• Encouraging self-esteem. 

 

       • Developing emotional skills.



A positive, safe environment is very important for indoor or outdoor play. Parents or carers should safely supervise 

all activities, especially if they are near water. Being outdoors has the added benefit of providing children with space 

to carry out ‘gross motor’ activities such as jumping, running, climbing and leaping at different speeds. Outdoor 

play also allows children to get to know their environment and connect with nature.
