Can’t decide what to get someone for Christmas?

“The UNICEF Sport-in-a-Box kit has proved to be a popular item during emergency situations, allowing up to 90 children to engage in team sports activities and interact with other children and have fun!

The Sport-in-a-Box kit is a recent introduction, created as a result of experience gained during several emergencies. It is now more widely appreciated that sport is an effective trauma therapy for children displaced by war and natural disasters.

The kit contains items for teachers and students and is supplied in a lockable metal box. The kit can cater for up to 90 children playing simultaneously.

The kit includes balls for several types of games, coloured tunics for different teams, chalk and a measuring tape for marking play areas and a whistle and scoring slate. The composition of this kit has been a challenge, not only because of regional and cultural differences in children’s sports activities and games. For example, following a gender analysis of the kit, and in light of UNICEF’s priority of girls’ education, additional items aimed at encouraging physical activity and sport amongst girls were added.”
