Wheelchair Visits
PISE will bring its fleet of sport wheelchairs directly to your school or organization for an engaging introduction to adapted sport. Visits require access to a gymnasium and are delivered to one class at a time throughout the day in scheduled blocks. While each session follows a similar format, instruction is adapted to meet the developmental needs and abilities of each group.
Each class begins with an introduction to adapted sport, including discussions about accessibility, inclusion, and the role of adaptive equipment in sport participation. Participants are then introduced to the sport wheelchairs and learn fundamental mobility skills, including moving forward and backward, turning, stopping, and starting safely.
Following the introduction, students divide into small groups and rotate through an obstacle course designed to develop wheelchair handling skills, coordination, confidence, and teamwork. Participants practice maneuvering through a variety of challenges while building an understanding of adapted sport experiences.
Depending on the age and developmental level of the group, sports-specific activities may also be incorporated. For example, participants may be introduced to basic wheelchair basketball skills, such as dribbling and ball control, through fun and accessible introductory games and activities.
This hands-on experience provides students with an opportunity to build empathy, challenge assumptions about disability, and develop a greater appreciation for inclusive physical activity and sport.
Grades: K-5 – Ages 5-10
Cost: $1000.00/full day, $500.00/half day
Physical Literacy Fun Day Stations (Located at the School/Organization)
PISE Fun Days provides schools with an engaging, active, and inclusive experience that helps students develop physical literacy through play. Delivered in a gymnasium, field, or outdoor school space, Fun Days feature a variety of movement- based stations, games, and activities designed to build confidence, competence, and enjoyment in being active.
Students rotate through stations led by trained PISE Physical Literacy Leaders. Activities focus on developing fundamental movement skills and positive socioemotional skills. Stations can be adapted to meet the developmental needs and abilities of different age groups, ensuring all participants experience success.
Throughout the day, students are encouraged to explore movement, work collaboratively, and challenge themselves in a supportive environment. Activities emphasize creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and active participation rather than competition, helping students build positive relationships with physical activity and movement.
Grades: K-5 (Ages 5-10)
Cost: Dependent on length and number of participants. Please email play@pise.ca for more information.
PISE Facility Visits

PISE staff create a supportive environment where students can challenge themselves, build connections with their peers, and discover new ways to move and play. School visits can be tailored to support classroom learning outcomes, physical literacy goals, wellness initiatives, or special school experiences.
Single or Two-Class Visits: These visits are shorter in length and would be a session of play-based games and activities building fundamental movement skills. Sessions are typically 1-1.5 hours in length.
Please note that the maximum capacity for this would be two classes visiting at once.
Grades: K-5 (Ages 5-10) (station activities), K-8 (Ages 5 – 13) for individual class visits or two classes

Bike Rodeo
PISE Bike Rodeos provide students with a fun, hands-on opportunity to develop cycling skills, confidence, and safe riding habits in a supportive and engaging environment. Through a series of interactive stations and activities, participants learn and practice fundamental bike handling skills while building the confidence needed to ride safely and independently.
Students rotate through skill-based stations that focus on key cycling fundamentals such as starting and stopping, braking, steering, balance, signaling, scanning their surroundings, and maneuvering through obstacles. Activities are designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and adaptable to the skill level and experience of each participant.
Throughout the program, PISE Physical Literacy Leaders reinforce important bike safety concepts, including helmet fit, equipment checks, road awareness, and sharing pathways responsibly. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves, practice new skills, and support one another in a positive learning environment.
Bike Rodeos emphasize skill development, active participation, and enjoyment over competition, helping students build physical literacy through cycling while developing confidence, independence, and decision-making skills. The program is designed to be inclusive and accessible, allowing riders of varying abilities and experience levels to experience success.
Grades: K-3 (Ages 5 – 8)

Kids on Wheels
Kids on Wheels is a cycling and physical literacy program designed for preschools, daycares, and other early learning centres. Programs typically run over five days, with each session lasting 1 to 1.5 hours.
Depending on group size, participants may participate as one large group or be divided into two smaller groups that rotate between on-bike and off-bike stations. Rotations are typically 30-45 minutes in length, depending on the overall session duration.
During the on-bike portion, children take part in fun games and activities that develop cycling skills such as balancing, gliding, stopping, turning, navigating ramps, and learning basic road safety concepts. The off-bike portion features engaging cycling-themed activities that support physical literacy through movement, creativity, and play, including active games, creative movement, colouring, and other hands-on activities.
Balance bikes provide young children with a safe and fun way to build confidence and develop foundational cycling skills before transitioning to a two-wheeled pedal bike. PISE provides all necessary equipment, including balance bikes, helmets, obstacle course materials, and activity supplies.
To host this program, organizations must provide an open outdoor space large enough for cycling and active play, as well as one parking space for the PISE equipment trailer for the duration of the program.
Ages: 2 – 6
Cost: $400/week
