Made for Schools
Welcome to Action Mats
Our unique children’s exercise fitness mats are designed from the ground up for primary & lower secondary schools. We consulted with leading UK sports professionals throughout the development of our mats (from inception to production) to make them what they are today. We have also worked with several UK and European schools to test our mats in different environments to refine our mats from what we learnt from the feedback of our customers.
What are Action Mats?
Action Mats have been specifically designed to overcome the challenges that come with running a PE lesson or physical group activity for children aged between 3 and 12 years old.
Action Mats are popular with primary schools and sports clubs but the mats may be used in many different environments.
There are several different types of Actions Mats available. Each type of mat caters for a particular activity or class. For instance, physical activity mats work well in a PE or after school class/club setting while the large size jigsaw puzzles more for getting the child/student working with their problem solving skills.
If you are looking to improve your PE teachers and PE coordinators efficiency and effectiveness with their PE classes then why not make Action Mats part of your children’s fitness program.
Captivating and Engaging
The mats themselves are lightweight, non-slip and non-trip – with bright and cheerful designs printed on complete with a stick man character to show the children how to do exercises.
To help PE teachers, Action Mats come with specifically designed Lesson Plans that can be used to promote a formal structured PE lesson.

How Action Mats work
Action Mats children's fitness exercise mats are designed to integrate seamlessly in to PE lessons. Because each Action Mat has an illustrated of what exercise or task to carry out it means you can set up different circuits combinations every time. The different activities for each mat ensure a full body work out for the student or child.
Super Simple to Use
Action Mats are super simple to setup and run a PE lesson with. You can choose to either work in a formal way using the structured Action Mats lesson plans that are provided with your mats or if you and are familiar the mats you can simply freestyle and develop your own circuit/drills.
Setup Phase

Compliment the mats with fitness equipment such as skipping ropes, hula-hoops and benches etc.
Exercise Phase
The Exercise Phase is where it all happens. You can execute the PE class with several different variations/formats. Perhaps you wish to split up your students in to group and have them compete against each other or maybe they prefer to do a timed circuit.
Whatever style you wish to adopt Action Mats are always adaptable to whatever lesson format you wish to use.
