Minecraft Incursion Printables Pack for OSHC (Free Download)

Description

Free OSHC resource: plan a full, screen-free Minecraft incursion with five printable activities that build creativity, teamwork and problem-solving—no devices needed.

What’s inside (5 activities)

1. Crossword Puzzle → yields MINECRAFT

2. Redstone Challenge (token hunt/ice blocks) → REDSTONE

3. Papercraft City Build → EXPLORE

4. Scavenger Hunt (find letter blocks) → BUILD

5. Character Creation (design your avatar) → PLAY

Arrange the five words to reveal the final incursion message: MINECRAFT • REDSTONE • EXPLORE • BUILD • PLAY.

Age & timing

• Age bands: K–2, Years 3–4, Years 5–6 (mixed-age notes below)

• Run time: 60–90 mins total (or split across a week)

• Group size: Small groups → whole group

Learning outcomes

• Creativity & design: papercraft city, character creation

• STEM thinking: redstone tokens → intro to circuits/logic

• Literacy & vocab: Minecraft crossword

• Teamwork & communication: scavenger hunt & group builds

• Movement & engagement: outdoor/indoor flexible set-ups

NQS alignment (at a glance)

• QA1 Educational Program & Practice: hands-on, outcomes-oriented activities

Materials (minimal & flexible)

• Printed A4 PDFs (crossword, score sheet, papercraft, avatar sheets)

• Pencils/markers, scissors, glue sticks, tape

• Optional: small “redstone” tokens (paper/plastic), ice block trays, food colouring, clipboards

How to run (quick plan)

1. Briefing (5 mins): explain the 5 stations and the final message reveal.

2. Stations rotation (40–60 mins): run two to three stations at a time.

3. Group reveal (5 mins): combine the 5 words for the final message.

4. Showcase (10 mins): display papercraft city and avatar designs.

Mixed-age tips: pair younger/older buddies; set “challenge” add-ons for older groups (harder crossword clues, larger papercraft builds).

Safety & inclusion

• Adult supervision for scissors/ice hunt boundaries

• Use non-slip areas and clear zones for movement games

• Offer quiet table options (crossword/colouring) for low-sensory needs

Print & prep
