Kids Corner: Glow Disc Play for Children and Families
Children love to play, and an outdoor game with something that glows is hard to resist. A disc lit by glowsticks keeps them moving, entertained and in a space where adults can keep watch.
Colours and patterns
Both the disc and the sticks are available in five colours, according to the archive, so children can select favourites and combine them. Let them swap colours between throws and see which designs appear in the dark.
Where to play
- a favourite park or waterpark
- an open field
- the back garden or street in front of home
Parents can take part too, and neighbours often join in. A whole block can spend an evening together, making memories along the way.
Tips for adults
- Walk the area first to look for holes and objects.
- Handle sticks yourself during activation.
- Keep the disc away from pets.
