Are you looking for incursion activities that will have your kids smiling, laughing, and fully engaged?
Excursions are difficult to arrange and expensive to offer. Many innovative Vacation Care providers are seeking new, exciting Vacation Care activities to run on campus.
But most vacation care incursions on offer require external educators to come onto campus to run the activity. While they can prove helpful, they can be just as expensive and difficult to arrange.
As an activity co-ordinator, you know the kids at your centre. You know their needs and their passions. You know what will work best for them. And you (and your staff) are already there!
Here's a list of activities you can host at your OSHC centre yourself. These five DIY incursions are a great way to fill in your next school holiday program!
The Problem: Planning excursions can be stressful and expensive, while hiring external contractors for on-campus activities adds extra paperwork and high costs.
The Solution: Vacation Care coordinators can run "DIY" incursions themselves using their existing staff who already know the kids' needs.
The 5 Epic DIY Activities:
1. Silent Disco: A hassle-free, quiet dance party using rented headphones synced to the Centre's phone.
The Takeaway: Hosting these five activities yourself means more budget value for parents and far less administrative paperwork for your team.
Bop to the top!
Silent Disco is an absolute winner for OSHC centres across Australia. Get a set of Silent Disco headphones delivered to you and become a DJ for the day. It’s simple. Sync your phone to the included transmitter, just like you would a Bluetooth speaker at home, and click play on the kids’ fav playlist.
The music plays through each of the headphones. The kids can adjust the volume to suit them. They can dance, dance, dance! And only they can hear the music. That means you can have a disco without disturbing anyone else.
It’s easy. It’s convenient. It’s fun!

The great thing about bandannas is that they’re one-size-fits-all. You don’t have to play a guessing game with sizes or have parents purchase white shirts for their kid. Instead, you can get a set of white bandannas online and hand them out on the day.
Each kid can decorate their own bandana.
Step them through tying the fabric with rubber bands, then show them how to drop the fabric dyes. Include a variety of colors for the kids to try – tie-dye is all about color!
However, when kids bring in water blasters from how you can wildly different blasters – making the game feel unfair.
Some kids have electronic blasters with multiple streams, while others have small pump action blasters with barely go more than a few metres. It’s inevitable that you’ll need to do some referring on the day…
Or is it? Water Royale delivered a set of water blasters to your vacation care service. Every player gets the same water blaster.
Plus everyone gets a water vest. These fill up with water. A water indicator in the vest shows if the player is “out”.
At the end of the game, you can look at the indicators and announce which team won (Red or Blue). The competition adds to the thrill and encourages teamwork between the kids!
