My Pop-Up Playground is a curated collection of Activities and Games that are perfect for Vacation Care settings.
It has proven repeatedly to be fun, developmental and engaging for primary-aged children.
The kit includes a mix of Physical Activities and Games of Skill. It caters for a large number of participants playing together side by side in self-directed play.
I can set up on grass, outdoor undercover, or inside a hall.
I modify the kit slightly to suit the setting. (Eg. Stilts are only used on grass)
I do need vehicle access to the location – as I use a lot of gear.
Each session starts with a short run-down of the activities and expectations, before the children are let loose for ‘Assisted Free Play’.
I am present for the entire session to help children to develop skills and to keep things safe.
I have years of experience working with groups of children and this equipment.

Bookings
My standard Vacation Care Incursion runs for 2 hours and costs $350.
As a guide – a 2 hour incursion works well for up to 70 Children.
They can all play for the 2 hours, or we can create two groups for 2 x 1 hour sessions.
For more than 70 children, I suggest a 3 hour booking for $495 and break the children into 3 groups.
I prefer a morning session from 9am to 11am, or an afternoon session from 1pm to 3pm.
This allows me to visit 2 centres in the one day.
Many of the OSHC providers who book me buddy with a nearby provider in their network, and book the morning and afternoon slots on the one day.
