Brentford FC Community Sports Trust joined the English Football League Trust and Ferrero to launch the Joy of Moving Home School Festival last week. The festival features home school activities and games to get children and their families moving and having fun. It follows the launch of the new online Joy of Moving Resource Hub.

The games and activities are based on the unique Joy of Moving methodology, developed by Ferrero with key independent parties including Foro Italico (Rome University) and the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI). This methodology inspires children to move through play across the world, whilst developing key skills in four major areas: physical fitness, motor coordination, cognitive functions and creativity and life skills. In order to help families plan their festival, the EFL Trust put together a timetable that can be seen below.

The Joy of Moving Home School Festival will run throughout the week. Keep a look out for what is happening in west London through #JOMHomeFestival or to find more fun games to play visit joyofmovingresourcehub.co.uk. Games and activities are included in the Joy of Moving workbook, which was which can be found here and includes more about the festival and Joy of Moving. The Joy of Moving programme, a Ferrero CSR project, has been supporting Year Five children across EFL Communities in the UK for the past six years.

Joy of Moving complements Brentford FC Community Sports Trust's #BeeatHome initiative that is keeping people active during the Covid-19 outbreak.
