We arrive at your school at least 1h before with thousands of planks and will work with each class (1 class at a time) to achieve a stimulating and engaging construction.

The children will be guided through a specific design according to their age. Each class will take turns to come and build and add to the construction. At the end of the day, we have a monumental build that each and everyone has contributed to.

We recommend:
45min for children in KS1
1h to 1h30 for children in KS2

You’ll see for yourself, there is never enough time when you start building, the children will not want to stop! We can run between 3 to 5 sessions per school day, each session can have a maximum of 30 children.

For larger schools we can run the workshop over several days to give each class a chance to participate. Please contact us with the numbers of children in your school and we can give you an idea of a schedule.

We can be flexible with numbers, please contact us for more details.

We can build on any flat surface. In order to achieve a WOW factor at the end of the day, it is best if each class contributes to the construction in the same location. We generally use the main school hall for the day.

For schools using the main hall at lunchtime, the kitchen usually prepares a packed lunch that day.
The bigger the hall, the bigger the construction!

At KAPLA Clubs, we are very flexible, please contact us if you have any specific requirements.

After your class has finished their construction, the children will be invited to go back to their classroom and resume their day as normal. We will then welcome the next class and so on.

When the last class has finished their construction, we have the whole school come together in the hall to admire the monumental build. Parents can also be invited, it is quite a sight and should not be missed!

Then, it is demolition time!

Absolutely!

The children have been waiting for this with great anticipation. Imagine between 20,000 to 50,000 planks coming down in seconds as a giant domino run. It is fascinating to watch!

There are several ways to demolish the construction and tidy up, our favourite is to ask one or two classes to have this privilege, but if you have a 2 form entry school, we will need a few classes to demolish and tidy up.

The workshops are competitively priced: from only £5 per child depending on location, + travel expenses.

Minimum of 120 children (or from £600 if you have less than 100 children), no maximum!

We are based in Cambridgeshire but we do travel throughout the UK. Please enquire for a customised quote.
