Incursions usually begin with an Aboriginal tools and resources handling session. Children will learn about Aboriginal cultures, history, the environment, animals, plants, shelter, tools, weapons, and sustainability through a hands-on learning experience.

We also offer a number of activities that you can choose from to add to your Koori Kinnections school holiday or after-school incursion. The following examples are appropriate for all ages, and are delivered at age appropriate levels. 

• Play traditional Aboriginal Games 
• Nawi (canoe) building - using native plants, children will each construct a small canoe (hand-held size) that they can take home.
• Take a guided Cultural walk at your local bush reserve or park
  
• Storytelling
  
• Bush food cooking - make damper and kangaroo meatballs (suitable for groups of 30 or less)
• Face painting with ochre
• Learn an Aboriginal Dance (dependent on Dance Educator availability)
• Art Workshop - Run by an Aboriginal Artist! Children will discover how and why Aboriginal people traditionally used artwork, and materials that have traditionally been used. Children will produce their own work of art (medium dependent on your Educators field of expertise/knowledge and/or available natural resources)
• BUSH CRAFT: Shelter - Children will learn about traditional shelters from across Australia including the people who used them, the materials, and how they were used. They will also create a small gunya each using traditional materials.
