PUMP YOUR PLAYGROUND

Finally, you can bring music to your playground. Choose GT Jams instruments and let the fun begin! GT Jams features nine instruments in eight component configurations that can be added to a traditional play structure, or configured into freestanding, ground level music centers!

Based on traditional African and Caribbean instruments, and combining tonal and rhythmic sounds, GT Jams encourages spontaneous jamming! A jam session typically begins by just keeping time with a simple rhythm, and others join in to create their own work of genius. Inspiring creativity, intergenerational play for people of all abilities and total self expression, GT Jams are an amazing way to add new ways to play to your facility. Choose at least 4 components and get the GT Jams Program Playbook for free!

Drum Circle
We’ve configured our GT Jams instruments into a circle of rhythmic fun that people find irresistible. Bring the whole family to play and create your own custom sound. The Drum Circle comes with the GT Jams Program Playbook, too, full of age appropriate activities that correlate to national standards for music and physical education.

Learn the Moves
We are pleased to offer the first program guide for playgrounds that meets the National Guidelines for Music and Physical Education. The GT Jams Playbook offers activities for Pre K-2nd as well as 3rd-5th grade so you can take learning outdoors, offer a music, PE and history lesson all at once and qualify for possible LEED certification points for outdoor classrooms!

Jam on it
GT Jams also make a great addition to your play system. Create a musical environment and watch the fun begin. Whether playing, watching or dancing along, everyone will be wrapped into the fun!

Zero-G Chair
Designed to be the only universally accessible seat of its kind that meets the ASTM standards for public playgrounds! The Zero G chair is available in 2 sizes, for 2-5 or 5-12 year olds.

With an anthropomorphically correct support system for shoulders, waist and head, the Zero G chair provides a beneficial swing experience for children who require a supportively structured swing. Awarded the “7 principles of Universal Access” designation for best support swing in the industry!
