At the board games club, you’ll get to enjoy playing different kinds of board games. You’ll learn about different games, develop your strategic thinking, practise your social skills and, above all, have fun together with the other players. The hobby sessions consist of playing different kinds of games, such as board games, card games and strategy games. The instructor is there to offer support and guidance on the rules and strategies of the games and to encourage good team spirit. 

Registration for hobby groups will open on Thursday 21 August. Hobby groups will start in week 37, on Monday, 8 September 2025 onwards. The hobby groups will meet weekly throughout the school year unless otherwise stated. The hobby groups do not meet during school holidays. The hobbies are free of charge for the participants. The City of Espoo has insured the hobby group participants.

Everyone is welcome to hobby groups regardless of their language skills, functional capacity or past hobbies. Support for participation is available. When registering, please notify any support needs your child might have or if there is anything else of note, so that the hobby organiser can take it into account in their activities and make participating easier.

The organiser of the hobby group contacts the guardians about the practical arrangements for the hobby. Please contact the hobby organiser if you want to cancel your child’s participation or if you have questions about the hobby. It is possible to try out the hobby groups before signing up.
