4 Backyard Water Fun Activities – Sydney

In the hotter months you may be wondering what Backyard Water Fun Activities you can have? In fact, you can have a party in the middle of your yard with one of our inflatables. Find out about backyard water fun ideas that will keep the kids busy this summer. So, if you have a medium sized back yard, here are some suggestions:

  1. Water Slides – with names like Rapid Racer, Raging River, or Fire and Ice you can imagine how exciting a back yard Water Slide can be. It’s like having a personal water park in your back yard. We absolutely have the best water slides in Sydney!
  2. Jump N Splash – The Jump N Splash is a jumping castle with a pool. Depending on the size of the set up area you can have a small Jump N Splash like the Tropical with Pool. Or for a larger area try the Jump N Splash Jungle Adventure. However, if you just want a backyard jumping castle with a cover from the sun, check them out here.
  3. Slip N Slide – the Slip N Slide, sometimes called the Run N Splash, is a whole heap of cool fun. It’s a run and jump inflatable where participants slide down the 9 metre tunnel.
  4. Water Foam Party – the last of our Backyard Water Fun Activities is a Water Foam party. You can hire the foam cannon with a small or large foam pit. Alternatively, hire the foam cannon only and fill the whole backyard with non toxic foam. Also, it’s great for a teen disco party, hens or bucks party, or family celebration!

Finally, these inflatables can liven up any party or event held under the hot Sydney sun. They will provide hours of fun. Consequently, they are a great way to cool down in the heat if you don’t have a pool.

Delivery Areas

Of course, we deliver and set up all over Sydney, Wollongong and up to the Blue Mountains.

Outdoor Play is Healthy Play

Written by

Outdoor Play is Healthy Play

Is outdoor play healthy play? A Sydney Morning Herald article titled “How to make lockdown holidays different from lockdown learning?” quotes Professor Garry Fallon from Macquarie University saying its important to differentiate learning from home based activities. Also, according to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports our children are literally becoming obese. Why? Because they are not getting enough healthy outdoor play.

The behaviours they cite which influence obesity include:

  • increased consumption of energy-dense, low-nutrient foods and sugar-sweetened beverages
  • insufficient physical activity … especially during the pandemic so many junior sports teams games and coaching sessions have been cancelled and play seasons reduced.
  • increased sedentary activity such as sitting or lying down on the couch.
  • increased time spent in front of screens including tablets, PC’s and TV’s.
  • insufficient sleep.

They report that 25% of children aged 2-17 in Australia were overweight or obese in 2017-18.  Also, young people aged 15-24 in 2017-18 were more likely to be overweight or obese than those studied in the 1995 and 2005 reports on the same issue. The report is backed up by this article called “Why should my child play outside?”

It’s unclear yet what affects the lockdowns in our major cities will have on these figures. We hope it’s more than just the family dog who is getting lots of outdoor and healthy play (and attention) as parents work from home, and kids are home schooled.

The AIHW Report

In their 2020 report about insufficient physical activity AIHW said “Participating in regular physical activity provides many benefits for physical and mental health at all ages, and can also help manage biomedical risk factors such as high body weight, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Insufficient physical activity is a key risk factor contributing to disease burden in Australia. Given it plays a role in chronic conditions, it is important for Australians to achieve the levels of activity outlined in Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary behaviour guidelines.”

Also, there’s an interesting “Everyone Can Play” initiative instituted by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment which encourages councils and planning organisations to create inclusive play spaces. Read about it here.

Another initiative is Claratyne’s Outsideologist Project. It’s on a mission to “get one million Australian children and their families to spend just one more hour a week outside for better health and wellbeing”. The Raising Children’s Network is also a great supporter of outdoor play.

What can you do?

Bubbling With Energy Entertainment came out of the famous Life.Be In It campaign of the 1970’s which promoted active outdoor play. That’s what we specialise in. Whether it be bouncing around on a jumping castle, conquering an inflatable obstacle course, or practicing soccer and footy shootouts on an interactive game, your players will get healthy outdoor play.

So, let’s get those disturbing obesity figures down with outdoor play that is healthy play.

Also let us take you to our other Blog called 15 Popular Backyard Party Ideas. It’s full of unique outdoor physical activity ideas.

5 FUN SCHOOL HOLIDAY IDEAS DURING THE PANDEMIC

Are you looking for School Holiday Ideas?

Worst case scenario – you love your kids but the thought of self-quarantining with them for the school holidays can be daunting. If schools are shut down for a further period to help stem the growth of the pandemic, it will be even more daunting.

How can you keep the kids occupied during this period?

Bubbling With Energy Entertainment has been servicing Sydney and surrounds with dynamic inflatable play activities for over 27 years. Here are some fun ideas which might help you get through the holidays with your sanity intact. All of these home-based activities cater to 2 players or more:

1 Jumping Castles

Sometimes called bouncy castles, these inflatables come in different sizes to suit a small backyard or a local park. Click the Jumping Castles link for our small jumping castles with themes such as the Happy Clown or the Dolphin Mini jumping castles.

Toddlers will love an Inflatable Tunnel and the Junior Jumper.

2 Sports Themed Inflatables

Here’s another school holiday idea during the Pandemic. Can you imagine the hours of fun your kids will have on the inflatable Soccer Shootout? It will also increase their soccer skills. An inflatable Golf Challenge, a Basketball Shootout, and Footy Passing inflatables are also available. See this Sports link for more information.

3 Interactive Inflatable Games

Instead of a dart board, why not hire a Giant Inflatable Soccer Dart board? It will easily fit into an average back yard.

Other interactive games include Billiard Soccer and IPS Target Shooting with nerf balls, or Axe Throwing (it’s okay, the axes are soft).

Have you ever played the “Battleships” board game? For a bit of fun, try the inflatable Battleships Game … same rules only it’s huge! There is also the Connect a Shot game which is our version of Connect 4!

Read about our Interactive Games products here.

4 School Holiday Ideas on Hot Days?

Summer seems to be infiltrating into other seasons. If the school holidays are hot, another fun idea is to try an inflatable Water Slide or our new Inflatable Foam Pit.

All you need for these holiday fun activities is a backyard and access to an electric power point. Our professional set up staff will ensure the inflatables are securely fastened and provide a video about safety when using inflatables with children.

All of these activities are fun and active and will develop physical and mental team skills. Book Now.

If you are a holiday play centre, youth club, church youth group, child care centre, council event organiser, recreation park, or an aquatic centre, see this Blog for larger school holiday ideas.

5 Mobile Video Gaming Trailer

This is a unique but less physical activity. Instead of travelling to a fixed video gaming site, we bring our mobile video gaming trailer to you. Up to 20 players can enjoy over 70 video games in air conditioned comfort. All the major Play Station, Nintendo and Xbox games are available. We also supply a Video Gaming Ambassador to set up the games and assist the gamers to get started.

6 Unique Event Ideas for Bouncing Back to School or Work

6 Unique Event Ideas for Bouncing Back to School or Work

Many schools and work places will bounce back to “almost normal” in coming months. After a year of Zoom conferences and online learning, and the summer holidays, how do you welcome them back?

Why not have a “Bounce back to School or Work” event? Here are some ideas:

1 Fun Run Obstacle Course

With names like the Adrenaline Rush, Ninja Warriors, and Toxic Shock, a fun run is an amazing way to help teams bounce back. Just look at the pictures on this link and you can see why they are amongst our favourite “WOW Factor” events.

2 Water Slides

A great way to bounce back to school in the summer months are our water slides. The incredible Log Jammer Extreme or smaller slides such as the Wave Crush or Jump N Splash will excite any audience.

In the cooler months try the dry slides such as the Ninja Warped Wall, the Screamer, or the giant Sabre Tooth Tiger dry slide.

3 Interactive Games

Another bounce back to school or work event are the interactive games. They are suitable for adults or children.

You can have a sports event which includes interactive inflatables such as the Soccer Shootout, Target Soccer and Footy Passing games, or the Basketball Shootout. We even have the Soccer Radar Challenge where the speed of your kick is measured with a radar gun. We also have a giant Soccer Dome for debriefing the activities.

Alternatively try our Mobile Escape Rooms where teams try to solve various activities to escape from Space Aliens, Enemy Spies or various other Villains. Schools will be interested in our Save the Planet and Save Nature escape rooms which provide learning about conservation, recycling and other environmental issues.

The Bungee Run and Hippo Chow Down are also fun and funny bounce back to work or school activities.

4 Jumping Castles

It doesn’t matter what age, everyone loves a jumping castle. Furthermore, for extra fun try a combo castle which has obstacles such as ladders and slides built in to add to the experience.

5 Mobile Video Gaming Trailer

This is a unique back to school or work activity. Instead of travelling to a fixed video gaming site, we bring our mobile video gaming trailer to you. Up to 20 players can enjoy over 70 video games in air conditioned comfort. All the major Play Station, Nintendo and Xbox games are available. Also, we supply a Video Gaming Ambassador to set up the games and assist the gamers to get started.

6 Charity Event

It’s amazing how raising funds for those less fortunate gets a school or work community together. Have a “Dunk the Teacher or Boss” activity with a Dunk Tank. Raise some more funds with carnival food sales.

Also, for even more fund raising ideas see our Blog.

Contact us for more Back to School or Work Ideas

Call or email our professional staff with details of your bounce back to school or work event (where, when, how many participants etc). With our extensive experience, we can help you make it memorable and engaging.

9 Popular School Holiday Fun Ideas

The school holidays are coming up and you are looking for some popular fun ideas to add to your holiday entertainment calendar?

Bubbling With Energy has over 27 years experience in providing entertainment products for clients all over Australia. Based on that experience we have put together a tool kit of school holiday fun ideas. They will help you to provide a safe and memorable experience for your young clients during the school holidays.

These ideas are suitable for holiday play centres, youth clubs, church youth groups, child care centres, council events, recreation parks, family restaurants, and aquatic centres.

However, before we start, decide on what age groups you are catering for, what size play area is available, whether it is outdoors or indoors, and what your budget is? Some organisations also theme their events. This can also impact on what amusement devices are hired.

School Holiday Fun Ideas Tool Kit

1 Water Fun

It’s summer and hot. Inflatable water slides are all the rage these days so why not set up a water slide in your back yard, park, recreation centre, child care or holiday play centre. Children never seem to tire of climbing the stairs and scrambling down the soft slides into a pool of water. Furthermore, you can get a small slide such as the Jump N Splash, the medium sized Whale Water Slide, or the giant Wild Rapids!

Click Water Slides for more ideas. If water slides do not suit your needs, check out our range of Dry Slides.

Pool and Aquatic Centres often hire our Sea Scramble or the Wipeout Pool inflatables which can actually be set up on the water!

2 Fun Run

Did you know you can get fun run courses with names like the Extreme Fun Run, the Toxic Shock or the Adrenaline Rush? Or, how about an inflatable Obstacle Maze. These entertainment devices will make your Fun Run an event to remember. The Fun Run design is only limited by your imagination.

Click Obstacle Courses for our exciting range of Fun Run ideas.

3 Themed Inflatables for the Littlies

How about themed jumping castles for the younger kids? Have themed jumping castle events designed featuring well known TV or Movie characters such as the Ninja Turtles, P J Mask, Octonauts or Disney’s Frozen (and many more). Add some carnival food to add to the fun.

See children’s jumping castles for theme ideas.

4 Inflatable Obstacle Courses

Set up a park lane of Obstacle courses with names like the Aqua Rush, the Toxic Wipeout Challenge (based on the popular TV show “Wipeout”), the excellent Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course (also based on a TV show), and the Adrenaline Rush Extreme obstacle course, which absolutely lives up to its name!

So, get ready for climbing walls, ladders, slides, tackling bags, jumping balls, popups and heaps of other obstacles you just can’t imagine till you experience them.

Click Inflatable Obstacle Courses for more details.

5 School Holiday Shopping Centre Fun

Depending on the area available, small and medium sized jumping castles are always a great hit in shopping centres. But you can add to the fun by theming the event. For example, create a Disney or Ninja character theme. Then, have a competition during the day for children who dressed up as their favourite character. We have Fairy Tale, Jungle Adventure, Princess, Ninja Turtle, Justice League, and a heap of other themed jumping castles and obstacle courses. They are very popular so book now to avoid missing out.

Add to the fun with Temporary Glitter Tattoos and Face Painters.

We can also provide carnival type activities like a circus train and carnival food such as fairy floss and sno cones.

See themed jumping castles for more shopping centre event details.

6 Inflatable Sports Fun

Help your budding matilda’s, wallabies, socceroo’s, kangaroo’s, golfers and other potential sporting greats achieve their dreams (or at least practice them) with an inflatable sports day.

Set up your sports field with our Inflatable Sports Zone (it has an indoor soccer, volley ball and basketball arena, and even a game of twister), and the Inflatable Golf Challenge, Basketball and Soccer Shootouts, the Inflatable Football Passing, and the Hippo Chow Down (based on the popular board game only more physical and interactive). We’ve also got Connect a Shot and the Human Wrecking Ball, and a myriad of other exciting sports fun devices.

Click Inflatable Sports for more School Holiday Fun Ideas.

7 Circus Ideas

Bubbling with Energy has a number of experienced performers to add more fun to your event. You can hire a clown, a magician, a temporary tattoo artist or face painter, a balloon artist, or an all rounder circus performer to entertain your school holiday fun clients. Additionally, tie it in with a circus themed castle or obstacle course. Then you will be providing heaps of memorable fun for the kids.

Click Circus for more School holiday fun ideas.

8 For the Older Kids

The Mechanical Bull, Mechanical Can, or Mechanical Snowboard or Surfboard Simulators are popular with the older kids. They also like interactive activities such as the inflatable Human Wrecking Ball challenge, Football Passing, and the Soccer Shootout. In fact, we have a whole range of sports related inflatables for hire.

We can also supply pinball machines, air hockey and pool tables for short term hires.

Click Sports Inflatables, Interactive Games and Arcade Games for even more School holiday fun ideas.

9 Large Family Fun Events

Councils and corporates can attract large crowds to School Holiday Fun events like a Water Park. This is where we take over a park, and set up a range of spectacular inflatables and other activities.

Alternatively, we can supply activities for a fun run obstacle course, dry slides, or sports themed activities as described earlier in this blog.

We specialise in large events and have the experienced staff and the professional expertise to help you create events which have the WOW factor.

Check out our Event Ideas for examples of what we can provide.

School Holiday Fun – Safety First

Finally, for all of these School Holiday Fun Ideas events we have trained staff who can set up and supervise your amusement hire. For some products you can provide your own supervisors. However, we will train them in how to run a safe event. We will even supply access to a video explaining proper safety procedures when using inflatables.

Also, read our Successful Event Planning blog for ways to ensure your event organising is smooth and stress free.
