The Active Breaks Challenge, 2026 was supported by the GAA, who worked with the Active School Flag team, creating a set of movement break videos to support the Active Breaks Challenge, each of which was filmed at a different location around Croke Park.
Classes got a behind-the-scenes look at where the team buses arrive, inside the players’ dressing rooms and the warm up areas where legends get game ready. In addition, they learnt interesting facts about Croke Park.
Teachers and their classes committed to a movement break, every day, across the 4 weeks of the challenge.

ADD or MULTIPLY the two numbers and record their answers!
