Board games come to school playgrounds

Board games tables come to school playgrounds, for learning while having fun.

Board games have arrived in school playgrounds and are experiencing a "golden" age, while their presence as an educational and motivational resource is also increasing.

Increasingly, educators are incorporating new play materials and sports equipment for schools, with innovative products and methods that contribute to a better learning experience for their students.

Traditional board games have always been linked to a form of entertainment that goes beyond simple fun and are also very well received by school pupils of different ages.

Benefits of board games.

The use of board games as play and educational tools brings many benefits to children and young people, such as:

• Stimulate participation.
• They contribute to psychic and social development.
• There is no gender discrimination in front of a game board.
• They favour the understanding of rules and norms.
• They promote concentration and cognitive development.
• They help with problem solving and social skills.
• They stimulate team play and autonomy.
• They avoid child discrimination.
• They help to stimulate intellectual capacity, concentration, attention and memory.

For all these reasons, the installation of this type of board games in school playgrounds, as an alternative to other types of sports such as football or basketball, is becoming increasingly common.

Both at break time and at the end of the school day, pupils love to play a game seated around such a table.

Here we are going to give you some guidelines on how to choose the most suitable outdoor games tables and the different models you can find.

Factors to consider when buying outdoor board games for schools.

Playground equipment installed outdoors must be as resistant as possible to intensive use, to uncivic acts and, of course, to inclement weather.

Therefore, when choosing your outdoor games tables, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. High-quality materials, with sturdy boards and reinforced galvanised steel chassis. In addition, the sides of the board must be rounded to avoid cuts or accidents.
2. Vandal-resistant: The materials must have anti-vandalism properties, which is very important when placing them outdoors.
3. Anti-graffiti: The playing surface should have anti-choc and anti-graffiti finishes and varnishes to make the board very easy to clean if painted. 
4. Anti-corrosion: It is important that the tables, when outdoors, are covered with a thermoplastic material in order to offer maximum resistance to corrosion and climatic changes.
5. Other factors to take into account: High resistance to impact, wear and scratching. 

Types of educational games tables for school playgrounds:

Outdoor multi-game tables.

These outdoor tables for schools and colleges have 4 games: chess, goose, parcheesi and 3 in a row. This particular model comes with 4 benches made of polyethylene. It is also possible to order it with each of the games individually.

They are totally anti-vandal and anti-graffiti and have a high resistance to impact, wear and tear and scratching. They are also immune to the effects of water, steam, heat and frost.

Outdoor Parcheesi tables.

One of the most popular games to be installed in playgrounds or play areas of children's schools.

Resin compact board: Manufactured with a compact made of fibres and resins exposed to high temperature. These compounds make the properties of our board extraordinary for outdoor behaviour. The games are digitally printed on compact.

The structure of the table top is also completely vandal-proof, made of top quality galvanised steel and baked polyester paint.

Inclusive multi-games tables.

Accessible outdoor games tables can be equipped with 1 or 2 seats, or simply the table without any seats. This way, people in wheelchairs can have fun playing any of the games depending on the table chosen.

This type of accessible gaming tables bring many benefits, such as social integration, encouraging interpersonal contacts with all users.

This table, like all our models, can be printed with any game: chess, tic-tac-toe, parcheesi, goose or multigames, and you can choose between a resin or fibreglass compact board.

Outdoor chess tables.

Our outdoor chess boards for children are ideal to support intellectual and social development.

Some schools are introducing chess classes for children to stimulate attention, memory, encourage reflection and acceptance of group norms.

All our chess tables with benches can be chosen with a compact resin top or with a fibreglass top, like the model we present.
