We get Amstelveen moving

All children receive a stamp card. With this card, they can earn stamps for each activity. A full stamp card earns them a great prize, made possible in part by JOGG Amstelveen.
In addition, JOGG director Sven Kuit from AmstelveenSport will be present at all three locations with the XL Drink Game and Run For Your Life. In the XL Drink Game, children learn more about healthy drink choices in a playful way. Run For Your Life is an active quiz game where children run to different squares to answer questions. The quiz questions align with the themes from the Healthy Guest Lesson, ensuring that exercise and learning go hand in hand. Sven Kuit will be present.
– from 13:00 to 14:00 at Kinderdienstencentrum Nifterlake, Speeltuin Henegouwselaan (Randwijck)
– from 14:30 to 15:30 at Hortensialaan Playground (Keizer Karelpark)
– and from 16:00 to 17:00 at Speelplein Middachten (Westwijk).
An inclusive outdoor play day is being organized at Children's Park and indoors at Nifterlake, featuring games everyone can participate in. There is plenty to do, such as tandem cycling, seated archery, wheelchair basketball, giant bubble blowing, and much more. The activities are organized in collaboration with Ons Tweede Thuis and the Amstelveen Children's Council.
For ten days, the Handelsplein will be transformed into a sporty spot full of sand, action, and socializing. With a new location and the addition of Urban Sports such as 3x3 basketball, BMX, and freerunning, there is more to experience than ever before. Participate in a tournament, discover new sports, or step onto the court yourself.
Children aged 4 to 12 can enjoy playing and exercising outdoors with all kinds of sports and play equipment. Examples include: street hockey, football, volleyball, tennis, skating, frisbee, space scooters, and scooters/wave boards. Playing outside becomes even more fun this way.
