Which game idea with Stapelstein® elements excites you and the children the most?

DKSA: In the "4-Colour Game", two teams compete against each other, sprint or hop to the Stapelstein® elements and tap them in the order specified by the trainer. The changing terms for the colors (animals, ice cream flavors or numbers) and the competitive character promote concentration and reaction speed and provide a lot of movement and fun.

Home of Goals: We use the Stapelstein® elements for the game "Transport without hands", which above all promotes creativity. Objects have to be transported from one point to another without using hands, with different variations further stimulating creativity. 

WLV: My favourite station at "Primary School meets Children's Athletics" is the set-up and dismantling relay, where the children Stapelstein® elements as a tandem. This task promotes consultation, consideration and team spirit in order to master it as quickly as possible.

Their versatility makes it possible to reinterpret classic sports exercises - whether as a marking, obstacle or play element. Due to their robustness and child-friendly design, they are suitable for structured movement sequences as well as for free play in which children develop their creativity.

Home of Goals:The Stapelstein® Elements are child-friendly, visually appealing and almost indestructible. Last year, we also discovered how versatile they can be used in working with children.

WLV: The prompting character and the versatile application possibilities of the Stapelstein® Elements have enriched our children's athletics activities. It's nice to see how the children intuitively gain new movement experiences – a real game changer for everyone involved!
