I’ve been taking the Gaming Squad van to parties and events across South Wales for about eight years now. One thing I’ve noticed with schools is that kids love a Gaming Van experience. What sticks with them is the day that felt like a proper treat.
So if you’re a teacher, a head or a PTA volunteer and you’re thinking about a gaming bus for your school event, this is how I’d plan it.
We come to you, so nobody has to move a single table
The van parks on the yard, the field or the staff car park. You don’t need to book the hall or stack chairs, and there won’t be extension leads running across the dinner hall floor.
Once the kids are inside, it’s wall-to-wall 4K TVs bursting with plenty of colour! It can be chucking it down in Caerphilly and nobody in the van will notice.
Work out your groups first
The van takes a maximum of 10 children at a time, so for a class of 30 you just run three shorter sessions. Easy.
Some schools go class by class. Others make it the prize for whichever house team wins. While one group’s in the van, the rest can be out on the field, doing crafts or whatever else is on site. Our staff manage the van so there’s no need for a teacher or TA with a list of names to manage any queues.
Every child gets a go, not just the gamers
Not every kid wants to play football at break, and that’s fine. Games like Gang Beasts, Goat Simulator and Rocket League are brilliant for this because being rubbish at them is half the fun, so you’ll get children who barely know each other in fits of giggles. For the ones who know exactly what they want, there’s Minecraft and EA FC.
Our Team Captains make sure nobody hogs the controller. The quieter kids get a proper turn too.
A couple of things to sort beforehand
Give us a ring and we’ll talk through where the van can park and how you want the sessions to run. It’s also worth letting parents know what’s happening so nobody’s confused at pick-up.
