Play4Life – FREE Fun and Games for 5 to 11 year olds in Dartford
Playing together as a family is a great way to be active, and this summer Dartford Borough Council is offering free activities for 5 to 11 year olds.
Project Coordinator Anna Card said: “Join us this August at one of the Play4Life events happening across the borough for some fun and games. There will be treasure hunts, drama and dance, multi-sports, fun with food, plus arts and crafts. Bring along a packed lunch and enjoy a picnic too.
“Places are limited so call me to book yours on 01322 343067.
“Being active is also great for our health. Children need about 60 minutes of moderate exercise every day. That means exercise that gets them warm, breathing heavier and with a raised heart-rate.”
