Lincolnshire Virtual School Games

The Lincolnshire School Games programme organised by Active Lincolnshire and the School Games Organisers of Lincolnshire is a hugely popular programme. It is designed to keep competitive sport at the heart of schools and provide young people with the opportunity to compete and achieve their personal best. This year the Games went virtual, with eight sport inspired competitions keeping children active at home. Entries to the competition are now closed. The County winners were announced in our Virtual School Games final on 1 July. Watch the County Finals, featuring a showcase of all the finalists above.

The Challenges

Although the Lincolnshire Virtual School Games Competitions are now closed you can still have a go at the challenges at home or in school, just for fun!

All the activities can be adapted for different spaces and you can substitute different equipment, such as substituting a pair of rolled up socks rather than a ball. Let us know how you get on!
