Playground Buddies

Our playground buddy scheme plays an important part in creating a safe, friendly, happy and peaceful atmosphere for children during lunchtimes.

Who are they?

Playground Buddies apply for their role and are supported by school staff to develop their role in leading and supporting games. The buddies really enjoy their responsibilities, and not only do they make the playground a happy place for all the children, but also offer a great help to the staff on duty at lunchtime.

What is their role?

To help all children to play cooperatively with each other

To help children resolve minor conflicts

Teach children to play games

To be a good listener when another child would like to talk

Help lonely children make more friends

Be available as a friend to all of the other children
