If you’re looking for school holiday activities Warwick families can actually enjoy, it’s worth planning a mix of activities that gets kids moving, gives them something different to try and works for different age groups.
For schools, OSHC programs, community groups and families organising holiday activities, inflatable entertainment can be a practical option. We have a range of jumping castles, obstacle courses, sport inflatables and water-based attractions that can be used for different types of events.
Here are some ideas to consider when you’re planning the next school break.
1. Set Up an Inflatable Activity Day
If you’re organising activities for a group of children, an inflatable activity day can keep things simple.Instead of planning several separate games, you can set up one or more attractions and let children take turns throughout the day.
Depending on the age group and available space, you could choose from:
- Jumping castles
- Obstacle courses
- Sport inflatables
- Interactive games
- Wet-and-dry inflatables
- Water slides during suitable weather
For larger groups, having more than one attraction can also help spread children out and reduce waiting times.
2. Try an Inflatable Obstacle Course
Obstacle courses are a good option when children have plenty of energy to burn.Instead of staying in one place, kids move through different sections of the course, making their way through challenges and competing with friends.
They’re particularly useful for group activities because you can organise children into smaller groups and rotate them through the attraction.
For school holiday programs, an obstacle course can also work alongside other activities rather than being the only thing happening during the day.
If you’re organising an event through a school, OSHC service or community organisation, we can help you work out which setup suits your group and venue.
3. Make It Competitive With Sport Inflatables
Not every child wants to use a jumping castle. Some would rather compete, test their skills or challenge their friends.That’s where sport inflatables can be useful.
Our range includes interactive options such as the Bungee Run Challenge, Floor Is Lava Duel Arena and Ultimate Whack-A-Mole Arena. We also have Giant Soccer Dart and Giant Rugby Dart for sport-focused activities.
These types of activities can work particularly well for older children and mixed-age groups.
You could run short challenges throughout the day, organise friendly competitions or simply let children have a go when it’s their turn.
The advantage is that children don’t need to be part of a particular sporting club to enjoy them.
4. Use Water Activities During Warmer Holidays
If your school holiday event falls during warmer weather, water-based inflatables can be a great way to combine activity and cooling off.We have options including the Splash Rush Slip & Slide, Twin Splash Water Slide and The Big Drop Water Slide. The Aussie Tropic Splash Zone is another option that can be used as a wet-and-dry attraction.
Water activities do need a little more planning, though.
You’ll need to consider:
- Suitable outdoor space
- Access to water
- Power requirements
- Weather conditions
- Supervision
- Suitable age groups
5. Don’t Forget Indoor Options
Outdoor activities are great during the holidays, but Warwick weather isn’t always predictable.If you’re organising a holiday program, it’s worth having a backup plan.
Some inflatables may be suitable for indoor venues where there is enough floor space, clearance and suitable access. The exact requirements depend on the equipment, so we recommend checking with us before making arrangements.
Having an alternative plan can save a lot of stress if the weather changes.
What Should You Consider Before Booking?
The best activity depends on the children you’re planning for and the venue you’re using.Before choosing an inflatable, we recommend thinking about:
Age Groups
A group of younger children may need different entertainment from teenagers. We can help you choose attractions that suit the ages attending your event.Number of Children
If you’re expecting a large group, think about how many children will want to participate at the same time.You may benefit from having several attractions available so children can move between activities.
Available Space
Measure the area before booking. You’ll need a suitable, clear setup area, as well as enough access for delivery and setup.Supervision
Some inflatables can be self-supervised, while others may require or benefit from trained operators depending on the equipment and event.If you’re using your own volunteers, we’ll explain what’s required and brief them on the relevant safety procedures.
Weather
Outdoor holiday activities need some flexibility.For water products especially, you’ll also need to consider water access and power. We can explain the requirements for your selected equipment before the event.
