PLAYshop Program

The intervention includes: 1. Educational Training - the 60 min virtual/hybrid workshop will be delivered by a trained facilitator. Parents will be introduced to physical literacy via education, group discussion, and active participation in fundamental movement skills (FMS) based activities with their child. 2. Distribution of Education Resources- Parents will be provided with physical literacy and physical activity printed resources. 3. Material resources -parents will also be provided a bag of inexpensive active play equipment (e.g., ball, bean bag, balloons). 4. Provide Follow-up Support- After the workshop, participants will gain access to an app with an online toolkit including new active play ideas, tips, and equipment they can make at home for active play. Additionally, participants will receive four bi-weekly booster lessons that include key workshop messages, support and encouragement for parents, reflection and check-in questions, and new activities to try with their child.
