a skipping rope
a hula hoop

a set of bean bags...

I am doing an outdoor activity for my nvq and was going to so some kind of circuit. I thought it would be easy to get the above but have tried all the obvious places and cant find the stuff I need!!

Your local pound shop. Wilkinsons. Argos. Ebay? ELC. Mothercare.

I think a lady on here has started selling bean bags? Try using the search bar for bean bags.

I would say Asda & tesco's. Tesco's actually have a set of them together for like a sports day activity pack. I saw them whilst in there the other day :)

The local cheap shops on our high street sell things like this - not sure how long their life span would be with a lot of use though! :panic:

Tesco and asda have a little sports day kit usually with bean bags, hoops and timer. I also got my skipping rope from Tesco.

Tesco have hula hoops and skipping ropes. But if you have asda living near you they have them aswell but a bit cheaper. :)
