Formula Sports: Indoor and outdoor games for schools that keep kids active and having fun

June 30, 2026

Keeping students active, engaged, and having fun has never been more important. Whether it’s during PE lessons, lunchtime activities, sports programs, or after school care, the right games and equipment can help students build confidence, develop physical skills, strengthen friendships, and create a lifelong love of movement.

At Formula Sports, we believe active play should be accessible to every student. That’s why we offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor games designed for all ages, abilities, and school environments. From emerging sports like pickleball through to classic playground favourites, schools can find everything they need in one place, with quality equipment at exceptional value.

Bringing energy to indoor play

When weather conditions keep students indoors, schools still need engaging ways to keep children moving. Indoor sports such as table tennis and pickleball are fantastic options, helping students develop coordination, concentration, agility, and teamwork while remaining easy to learn and enjoyable for all skill levels.

Games like Cornhole and Axe Throwing also provide a fun alternative to traditional sports. These activities encourage friendly competition while helping students improve accuracy, focus, and motor skills in a relaxed environment.

The best part is that many indoor games can be enjoyed by students who may not typically participate in competitive sports, helping schools create more inclusive activity programs.

Making the most of outdoor spaces

Outdoor play provides students with valuable opportunities to stay active, socialise, and enjoy movement in the fresh air. Traditional favourites such as cricket and badminton continue to be popular choices in schools, offering a combination of skill development, teamwork, and healthy competition.

Frisbees and throwing games are another excellent addition to any school activity program. They encourage movement, coordination, and participation while providing simple, versatile activities that can be adapted for different age groups.

For schools with aquatic programs, dive toys add another dimension to active learning by helping students build water confidence, improve swimming skills, and make pool sessions even more enjoyable.

The activity students can’t stop talking about: Body bubble ball soccer

If there is one activity guaranteed to bring energy, laughter, and excitement to a school event, it’s Body Bubble Ball Soccer.

Students climb into inflatable bubble suits that allow them to safely bump, bounce, roll, and compete in a completely unique way. While the game is often played as soccer, the bubbles open the door to countless activity ideas, including relay races, obstacle courses, team challenges, and school fun day competitions.

What makes Body Bubble Ball Soccer so effective in schools is its ability to engage everyone. Students who may not normally participate in traditional sports often find themselves eager to join in, creating an inclusive environment where the focus is on fun, teamwork, and active participation.

The result is an unforgettable experience that gets students moving while creating plenty of smiles along the way.

Every school has different needs, which is why Formula Sports offers equipment for every age group, activity type, and skill level. Whether you’re introducing students to pickleball, upgrading your table tennis equipment, running a cricket program, organising a swimming carnival, or planning a school fun day, we have the products to support your goals.
