PEP Kits
Our PEP Kits provide the basics for jump-starting successful, cooperative game play among children ages 5-14 in different settings.

The School PEP Kit (up to 400+ players)*
for school playgrounds, P.E. classes, and large summer camps.

The Classroom PEP Kit (up to 60+ players)
for classrooms and P.E. lessons, school field day, large after-school programs and small summer camps.

The Program PEP Kit (up to 30+ players)
for youth groups and clubs, family re-unions, after-school care centers, and neighborhoods.

The Family PEP Kit (up to 12+ players)
for home schools, home day cares, and family picnics.

Custom PEP Kit
We allow our customers to order less or more game equipment, books, videos or posters to match the needs of an individual school (within reason).

Refurbishing PEP Kits
Expect to purchase new games equipment annually to refurbish your PEP Kit. Some schools need to do this more often. We trust the games equipment that we sell. But it's up to you whether you want to purchase all, some or none of the equipment from us when it's time to refurbish.

* # of players served by PEP Kits is based on equipment and ease of group access to it.
The + accounts for fact that many PEP games don't require any equipment at all.

Additional information about our PEP Kits

  • The ideas and designs for our PEP kits were uniquely born of necessity, as founder and artist/educator Teresa Jacobs developed and field-tested ways to support game-playing on playgrounds starting in 1995.
  • Construction of our PEP Cans and PEP Bags are part of a cottage industry that contracts with local industrial sewers (contract workers receive a living wage). Our products are water-resistant and durable because we rely on heavy-duty, waterproof materials. PEP Can attachments and PEP Bags are sewn with industrial, UV resistant thread, and are, in part, constructed from factory scraps that are otherwise destined for the landfill.
  • PEP Cans and PEP Bags are user-friendly. They arrive ready-to-use. They are easy to transport and to keep organized.
