Playinnovation launches new ‘mini’ versions of its games to satisfy the growing demand from schools

Due to popular demand, Playinnovation the innovative games company has launched a brand-new range of indoor and portable mini-games which are perfect for the school market.
Schools can now install Playinnovation’s educational games walls as ‘mini games’ and perfect for use indoors and outdoors. The games can be fitted to your gym or outside wall and feature magnetic numerical targets, moveable ground spots and a portable scoreboard for easy storage.
School sport and physical activity is developing; it’s evolving. Gone are the days where children are happy to chase a football or hockey ball across muddy, wet and cold fields. Children and young people want choice. They want to participate in movement and sport which not only moves their bodies but stimulates their minds too. And this is where Playinnovation, is capturing the imagination of youngsters up and down the country with its range of innovative games.

Marco Boi, Founder and Creator of Playinnovation said: “There is a whole world of different sports available and also an eclectic mix of students that need to feel challenged and stimulated by physical activity and these traditional sports can sometimes dis-engage rather than engage in physical activity.”

Marco continues: “The whole purpose of developing the games that sit within the Playinnovation portfolio was to fuse the world of physical activity and sport with education and offer educational benefits and outcomes to the children (and adults) who enjoyed it.”

Playinnovation is seeing an increase in demand from schools for more unique, fun, engaging and inclusive multi-use games areas (MUGA) and in many cases are replacing traditional ball courts for new, on-trend games courts.
Playinnovation’s patented target games are all designed to increase and inspire movement and physical activity, create positive social environments and offer an unprecedented level of developmental outcomes.

Marco continued: “What’s great about multi-use games area (MUGAs) is that it’s your chance to be creative, some schools even involve their pupils to help design and bring to life the area. We have a wide selection of surfaces and markings as well as the games and activities, which ensure your school MUGA stands out from the crowd and creates a versatile sporting venue.”

Playinnovation mini-games include:
• Mini Street Snooker™ – a smaller version of the world-renowned Street Snooker™ this innovative game has been featured on BBC and World News and is a great tool for developing a whole host of skills.
• Mini Crossbar King – inspired by the crossbar challenge as seen on Sky TV’s Soccer AM the concept is always a sure fire hit with all football fans.
• Street Pool
• Mini Cricket Champ – based on the game of cricket, this provides endless hours of target practise fun
• Mini First to Zero – this game is played with each player starting with 50 points and then aiming at numerical targets to minus points as the game progresses. The winner is the first to hit exactly zero.

Playinnovation takes its inspiration from the world of fashion, sport, urban and modern art to create eye catching installations which once launched, are popular and well used.
