If you’re planning to stay home this Easter holiday and enjoy the cooling weather of the Central Highlands, we have a fun way to keep the kids entertained. The Get Set for the Show Bingo Card offers a playful challenge that encourages children to explore, learn, and have fun right in their backyard or local community.

This blog will guide you through the bingo challenge and suggest ways to make the most of your Easter break in the Central Highlands.
What Is the Get Set for the Show Bingo Challenge?
The bingo challenge is a specially designed activity card filled with fun, simple tasks and experiences that children can complete during the Easter holidays. It’s a great way to encourage kids to get creative and engage with the community while having a blast.
Each square on the bingo card contains a different activity or task. These might include:
Arts and Crafts
Building and designing
Learning a skill in the kitchen
Getting outside and working with nature
The goal is to complete as many squares as possible during the holidays. This keeps children active, curious, and entertained without relying on screens or expensive outings.

Get the Kids Involved

Be Prepared early for the Emerald Show
The bingo card is designed to highlight some of the great sections of the Emerald Show. Make sure you also have a look through our competition schedule for all the details on each activity. Each square tells you which section to look at. https://www.emeraldshow.org.au/competitions
