I must admit taking a gamble when purchasing the Pocketfit Kidz resource pack as I could only see what was on the website and the advert in the Future Fitness publication but unlike a number of other resources the gamble paid off. I went for the teachers resource pack and was immediately impressed with the quality of the cards and the Teachers Guide and Games and Circuits booklet that accompanied the resource.
The cards are bright and colourful and although I feel are best used with KS1 children they can also be used just as well with KS2. I have used the cards mainly as Warm Up activities the A5 cards are just the right size and can be seen by everyone in the class, whereas the playing cards can easily fit into your pocket and are easily accessible and useable. The children like the clear and colourful illustrations and often ask whether 'we are doing the cards' when I take their PE sessions.
The booklets that accompany the cards have been in my view extremely well written and by a primary practitioner who understands what is needed to accompany a PE session. The activities suggested are clearly laid out, imaginative and above all they are manageable. There is no need for any specialist knowledge.
