πŸ”’ To manage the Activity library, you must have the Manage activity library permission enabled

The Activity library gives you a collection of ideas and inspiration to use with the children in your setting. You can browse activities from other practitioners, save your favourites, add comments, or upload your own ideas to share with your team or with all Famly users.


Accessing the Activity Library

To open the Activity library:

  • Go to Learning in your sidebar

  • Select the Activity Library tab


Finding an Activity

You can search the library to quickly find the type of activity you need. Use the filters to narrow things down by:

  • Keywords in the search field

  • Age group by entering the age range in months

  • Learning area

  • Language


Adding Your Own Activity

You can upload your own activities to share ideas within your nursery or with the wider Famly community.

To add a new activity:

  • Click New activity

  • Upload an image if you want to replace the default

  • Add a title and the age range the activity is suitable for

  • Select the related learning areas

  • Add the materials needed

  • Write a description explaining how to carry out the activity

  • Select the language

  • Choose how to save the activity

    • Confirm to keep it within your nursery

    • Create & make public to share it with all Famly practitioners

πŸ’‘ Once an activity is public, it cannot be made private again. Only the original author can edit it
