The following provides a list of activity ideas for each sub-outcome of MTOP Outcome 3: Children And Young People Have A Strong Sense Of Wellbeing.

NAIDOC Week is a time to celebrate and learn about the rich histories, cultures, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. For OOSH children, it’s an opportunity to engage in meaningful activities that go beyond fun, encouraging respect, curiosity, and creativity while deepening their understanding of First Nations stories, art, and traditions. By weaving together hands-on projects, storytelling, and reflection, educators can help children connect with the spirit of NAIDOC Week in ways that are both age-appropriate and inspiring.

Butterfly Education and Awareness Day (BEAD) is celebrated on June 6, 2026. It was created by the Association for Butterflies to raise awareness about butterflies as pollinators, their habitats, and conservation needs. For early childhood educators, BEAD is a chance to connect children with nature through play, observation, and creativity.

Rainy days don’t have to dampen the fun in OOSH! When outdoor play isn’t possible, educators can turn indoor time into an opportunity for creativity, movement, and laughter. Wet weather games are more than just "fillers"; they help children release energy, practice teamwork, and build social-emotional skills in a safe environment.

The following 20 indoor games are designed to be simple, adaptable, and fun for mixed-age groups, ensuring that rainy days become memorable moments of play and learning.

For babies and toddlers, diversity and inclusion play can be nurtured through simple, sensory-rich experiences that introduce different cultures, abilities, and identities in age-appropriate ways. The key is to use everyday play materials—blocks, dolls, songs, and stories that reflect varied backgrounds and abilities—while keeping activities interactive and joyful.
