Bounce Cards are designed for OSHC Educators to go with you, wherever your OSHC children play and to share ideas to encourage your children to be active every day.
These grab and go cards on a lanyard that can be worn around the neck. The cards contain practical strategies for inclusive active play and a range of games suitable for OSHC.
They provide background information including how to ‘CHANGE IT’ to keep your children involved and some inclusive strategies for organising children into groups. There are three energiser games (ideal for starting your sessions) and nine main games to choose from.
The Bite & Bounce initiative supports local OSHC Services to meet the National Quality Standards for healthy eating and physical activity.
Bite&Bounce@OSHC encourages healthy eating and active living for Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Services on the Central Coast. OSHC includes before, after school and vacation care typically for children aged 5-12 years.
