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 out new, amazing Vacation Care activities they can 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, it can be just as expensive and difficult to arrive.
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!
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!

After making the slime, kids can craft interesting shapes or decorate their creations! You can bring out googly eyes or pipe cleaners so the kids can get creative!
These Laser Tag packages are delivered to your centre anywhere in Australia. Because you have the kit all day, everyone gets a turn, and parents can get an amazing value. The taggers are super simple to understand, too. All you have to do is turn everything on and off,n and you're off!
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 has a chance to decorate their own bandanna.
Step them through tying the fabric with rubber bands, then show them how to drop the fabric dyes. Include a variety of colours for the kids to try – tie dye is all about colour!
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!
These are the top five incursion ideas for Australian Vacation Cares. These fun activities can be run by you – no need to bring in external contractors. That means more value and less paperwork!
