Transition Year (TY) is a time for students to step out of their routine, embrace new challenges, and strengthen friendships. Astropark’s TY School Tours provide the perfect opportunity to do just that, with a mix of thrilling activities designed to engage, entertain, and bring out the best in every participant. From teamwork to laughter-filled moments, a day at Astropark is a guaranteed highlight of the TY calendar.
Action, Adventure, and Teamwork for TY Students
Students will love the variety of activities that keep them moving, laughing, and working together. Here’s what your group can look forward to:
- Bubble Football: A crowd favourite, Bubble Football combines the fast-paced fun of football with the hilarity of bumping and bouncing in giant inflatable bubbles. Students quickly discover it’s not just about scoring goals—it’s about staying upright!
- Tug of War: A test of strength, strategy, and teamwork. This classic game brings out the competitive spirit in students as they work together to pull their team to victory.
- Dodgeball: High-energy and fast-paced, this game keeps everyone on their toes as they dodge, dive, and throw their way to glory. It’s a perfect activity for all energy levels and gets the whole group involved.
- Obstacle Course: Weather permitting, students can tackle an inflatable obstacle course, featuring a bouncy castle that’s as fun as it is challenging. This activity encourages agility, determination, and a healthy dose of laughter.
- Foosball: Imagine stepping into a life-sized foosball table. This weather-dependent activity lets students become the “players” in a larger-than-life version of the classic game, creating moments of teamwork and friendly competition.
With such a diverse lineup of activities, there’s something to excite every student, ensuring no one is left out of the fun.
