Move & Learn in Mathematics & English

As teachers and leaders, we need to look at ways we can increase and embed creative opportunities for learning. Tagtiv8 games & ideas not only provide an enjoyable alternative to classroom based learning, but promote physical activity – crucial when we all face the increasing problem of sedentary lifestyles. Research by Leeds Beckett University demonstrates that our Physically Active Learning (PAL) solutions tackle inactivity & obesity levels. Not only that, Tagtiv8 PAL approaches impact positively on standards and academic performance.

Tagtiv8 are now working with over 65,000 children and teachers across the UK and abroad. Pioneering teachers respect the pedagogy and children love the games. Our PAL approaches engage even the most reluctant of learners. We help children overcome their fear of certain subjects, whether they be Maths, English or in some cases, Sport & PE.

We have been recognised for our pioneering approaches to PAL by:

Tagtiv8 are recognised supporters of ‘This Girl Can’ and ambassadors for ‘Child Friendly Leeds’.

Tagtiv8 resources can be used from Early Years Foundation Stage to Keys Stages 1 and 2. We also work with teachers and children in Key Stage 3 settings and Pupil Referral Units, as well as supporting teachers working with SEND children.

The research led to a request to do a TEDx Talk, which took place in April 2018.

Through our Activity Days and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes, we up-skill teachers so that they are confident and competent in delivering PAL approaches. When co-delivering sessions, teachers often comment: “I didn’t know he could do that.” More often than not, these comments are related to children deemed reluctant learners or who have a fear of a certain subject.

The success of the Tagtiv8 PAL sessions can be seen in the smiles of the children. “Can we play it again?” is a common refrain at the end of the sessions.

Research by Dr Andy Daly-Smith from Leeds Beckett demonstrates that a 45 minute Tagtiv8 session leads to 10 minutes of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) and decreases sedentary time by over 15 minutes. This contributes significantly to the daily 30:30 MVPA target for primary children, as recommended by the Chief Medical Officer for England.

It’s not just the children that are motivated and encouraged by Tagtiv8. To bring about real long-term sustainable change, teachers and school leaders have to be involved. Our flexible and bespoke CPD packages mean that teachers are empowered to deliver PAL sessions independently.

“I can totally believe the research. We've made a real shift towards active learning since your presentation and it's definitely making a difference - for the teachers as well!” (KS2 teacher, Bournemouth).
