“I’m bored…”
The phrase every OSHC educator hears at least 47 times a day
 
You know the ones…
-Too old for the “little kid” activities
-Don’t want to join the program
-Only want devices
But also have ZERO ideas of their own
 
So what happens?
Frustration, wandering, disengagement, behaviour.
Not anymore.
 
I’ve created a simple resource for OSHC educators:
Boredom Busters (Ages 8–11)- for those children who need a little help
40 simple, no-prep, pick-from-a-jar ideas designed to:
Re-engage older children
Build independence & agency
Reduce “I’m bored” moments
Encourage creativity, leadership & social connection
Support MTOP outcomes through choice-based play
 
Just print, cut, pop in a jar… and let the magic happen.
