Play Rangers
What we do
We work in local schools and parks to encourage and facilitate
free open access play for children and young people. We run
free activity sessions throughout the year in all weather
conditions to encourage children to explore their natural
environment and take risks in a safe situation. The aim is to
improve self-esteem, confidence and team work whilst having
fun at the same time.
Open access
Open access means that children are free to come and go as they
please. Children of all ages are welcome, however under 8's
must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult. We
encourage children to wrap up warm in the winter months, bring a
drink and be prepared to get messy!
Example of our activities
Den building, sports sessions, bug hunting, rocket making, giant
games, circus skills, fire cooking, assault courses, arts and
crafts, frisbee throwing, kite flying, parties.

The Play Rangers Brand New Resource Book!
The Bedford Borough Council Play Rangers
have produced a Play Resource Book designed for children aged
between 5 and 13, lunch time assistants and teachers. The
book contains instructions on how to play over 30 playground games
and activities, with a strong focus on games that use little or no
equipment and are easy to pick up.
Continuing old favourites such as 'Dodgeball',
'Ladders', 'Stuck in the Mud' and 'Whats the time Mr Wolf' and new
games including 'Crusts and Crumbs', 'Elves Wizards & Giants',
'Monkey Football' and 'Yee Haaw!!!!', there is something to
entertain everyone.
The booklet was created by The Play Rangers in
conjunction with the Year 4 Play Leader Scheme which takes place in
several lower schools across the Borough and will be launched in
the near future, please contact the Play Rangers if you are
interested in purchasing a copy at playrangers@bedford.gov.uk
or call 01234 227254. Copies are £5.00 per
booklet.
