Movement matters!
Playivity was inspired by a simple question, how much movement is happening, when, and by who in education settings, and how can we reduce children’s sedentary behaviour?
Founded by experts in physical activity research and education, we are creating a data-led solution to transform the way we understand and respond to childhood inactivity
Problem
Children are not moving enough, particularly in education when they can spend 70% of their time being sedentary
Reality
We believe that real change can only begin by knowing activity levels of real children, in real education settings
Approach
Target driven gamification has been shown to positively impact physical activity, attitudes and motivations
Change
We want to use the power of data to support you to know more, show more and get children moving more
What does the Playivity solution involve?
Wearable devices
Simple, child friendly wearables to track physical activity. From sedentary levels to moderate to vigorous activity, these will map out movement behaviours at an individual and group level
Interactive play posts
Measurement meets action with our unique play posts. These robust, moveable play posts respond when ‘bopped’ by a Playivity device to support and encourage movement play
Data dashboard
Playivity’s user friendly software is where the magic movement data will be displayed, enabling you to celebrate progress, create targets and set up unique play post challenges
