Game of Actual Life is a Life Skills programme for primary school children.

Roleplaying as a 22-year-old, children learn about health, houses, careers and happiness – all delivered in a fun and interactive way.

Premier Education’s Game of Actual Life helps children understand some of the trickier aspects of maths all through real life situations. The course helps demystify bank accounts, mortgages and pensions through hands-on games and challenges.

The benefits for your family

Game of Actual Life teaches your children about the many aspects of adulthood – about money, the environment, health and more. We’ve had many parents tell us how much more responsible and sensible their children were being at home, even trying to save on bills, eat healthily and help around the house.

By encouraging high quality debate and discussions between the children, Game of Actual Life helps build self-esteem and social skills. This can lead to improved communication both with their friends at school and with their family at home.

If you want to give your child a more confident and mature outlook for the next stages of their life, request Game of Actual Life in your school.

The benefits for schools

We know that Ofsted’s regulations have increased the need for wellbeing and life skills to be taught as part of the curriculum; from September 2019, Ofsted judges ‘Personal Development’ on its own merit.

We understand that this can be difficult for many primary schools to provide, which is why we are thrilled to be able to offer a programme which delivers those essential lessons in a comprehensive and measurable way. As with all our activities, we record both results and progression. Game of Actual Life has had overwhelmingly positive feedback, with 99% of children saying they “loved” their lessons and describing them as “exciting”, “fun” and “educational”.
