What is Activ8?

Activ8 is a new initiative from Sport Northern Ireland promoting 8 steps for children to get active and stay healthy. Activ8 encourages Key Stage 2 pupils to take part in at least 60 mins of physical activity per day, before, during and after school. The initiative is supported by all five Education and Library Boards (ELBs) and the Health Promotion Agency.

What will pupils do and how will they benefit?

Pupils can complete an Activ8 Diary (included in the Activ8 pack) to encourage them to participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day and record their success. Pupils that have successfully completed the Activ8 Diary Challenge can be given a certificate to acknowledge their achievement and promote sustained involvement in physical activity.
