Ready to order online today, rotogen play panels utilise hand movement to power each activity. Interactive and fun, the Rotogen Collection includes electronic elements to bring playground equipment up to date.

Without the need for an electric source, it’s finally possible to create playground equipment which incorporates all of children’s interests.

Using educational contexts from national curriculum requirements, each exhilarating activity brings together traditional games and modern approaches to make learning fun and effective.

Turn the wheel to power the game

Economical and environmentally friendly, rotogen play panels require no electric source. Hand-powered, weatherproof and free-standing, our sensory playground equipment is energy-saving and designed to withstand heavy use.

Energy-Saving Play Equipment

We know children are fascinated by technology and encouraged to be concerned about protecting our world. Rotogen play equipment provides a wonderful real-life context for children to learn about natural sources of energy. When pupils turn the handle on the panel, the electronic element of the activity is activated.

Designed for children from early years up, handles turn easily for pupils of any age. As the handle rotates, the internal generator produces electricity. Super-efficient performance means rotogen panels require little movement to work and need no back-up electricity.

Knowing each rotation generates power keeps children motivated to sustain co-ordination and generate more electricity.

Thrill Every Sense

Attractive to all children, rotogen school playground equipment keeps children’s bodies moving and brains stimulated. Touch, tap, turn, twist, read, count, listen, sing, and say to complete the activity. From co-ordination to memory, fact recall and deduction, rotogen panels promote the use of a wide range of skills during play.

Inclusive Play

Located in a stationary position, the multi-sensory activity panels ensure there’s something for everyone at playtime. Whilst they may not be tearing around the playground, pupils can still have fun, use their bodies, and build social skills. Sounds, movement, touch and recall, appeal to a range of interests and needs making the Rotogen Collection inclusive of the wide range of ways children play.

From key maths skills to language development, co-ordination and the world around us, children can engage in multi-sensory educational play which supports learning in so many areas of the national curriculum. Shop the latest ways to make school playground equipment entertaining, inclusive and fun.

Robust and Long-Lasting

Made from resilient HDPE, our rotogen playground equipment is recyclable and designed for heavy daily use. Incorporating all the features you need for hardwearing outdoor play equipment, rotogen panels are waterproof and weather-resistant.

Suitable for use year-round, our inclusive play equipment is UV resistant and won’t fade, crack or warp over time. Each panel is easy to install and comes with a 10-year guarantee for your peace of mind, and 3 years for electronics.

 Requiring no batteries or electrical source, maintenance is minimal. In fact, our HDPE panels last 10 times longer than wood. Choose from panels made from 50% or 100% recycled plastic.

Helping To Protect Our World

We’re as passionate about the environment as we are about making educational play fun. All of our playground equipment is recyclable and made using recycled materials as far as possible. 99% of our off-cuts and waste is recycled.

Curriculum-Based Play

  From shape and space to language and time, rotogen play equipment brings learning to life.

Timer Play Panel

Use the stopwatch to see how many laps you can do in 1 minute. Understand how quick 30 seconds are. How many times can you clap your hands in 30 seconds? Whose turn is it next? Why not use the Timer Panel to keep play fair? This open activity is a great way to help children to gain a real-world understanding of time.

Nursery Rhymes Play Panel

Ensure every pupil has the chance to sing-along to traditional nursery rhymes. Whilst adult time is pressured, the Nursery Rhymes Panel allows children time to hear much-loved rhymes over and over again. Supporting the development of language, whether Jack and Jill or the Muffin Man, every young child loves to sing-along to these timeless songs.

Shape Play Panel

Give pupils lots of opportunities to recall knowledge of shapes and colours. The longer you play, the faster you need to remember the facts on the Shape Panel. Keep improving hand-eye coordination to increase your score!
