Welcome to Vision Australia's podcast series, designed to help children
and young people develop the skills they'll need to open
their future.
Natalie (00:14):
Hi team, my name is Natalie and I'm an Occupational Therapist.
Thanks for joining me today to talk about recreation and leisure.
Do you do special activities in your spare time? If so,
that's great. That's what Recreation and Leisure is all about.
It's about what you can do when you're not at school,
or doing homework, or helping out with jobs around the house.
(00:37):
There are so many things that you can do in
your free time. We're going to talk about hobbies, creative activities,
and physical activities, and we'll hear from some other kids
about what they like to do. School, homework and chores
are important things to do, and so are activities that
(00:58):
we do just because we enjoy them. Did you know
that hobbies and arts and crafts and doing physical activities.
They all help you to feel happier, stronger and fitter.
They can also help you make new friends. Now when
you hear this sound, I'll ask you to pause the
podcast and do an activity. When you're finished with the activity,
(01:22):
you can come back to continue the podcast. But first
you are going to need a way to take notes.
So this could be with pen and paper, an electronic device,
or a voice recorder, whichever way suits you. Get that
ready before we start, I'll wait for you. Okay, let's
(01:47):
talk about the first type of activity you can do
in your spare time. Hobbies. Let's hear from some other
kids about what their hobbies are.
child1 (01:56):
One of my hobbies is catching Pokemon and battling on
Pokemon Go.
Um, lots of people say that my drawings are good.
When I'm drawing. I usually don't use paint because it
does not work for me. It's always going all over
the place, but sometimes it's fun to paint. I usually
(02:18):
use pencil and paper, and I love using proper art
paper because it's a lot easier and better quality. When
I draw, I just usually draw random things. Sometimes I
try to draw people. I try to draw animals. I
like doing patterns on a piece of paper.
(02:38):
I like to. Collect Pokemon cards because like it's fun
and you can get different ones. You can get matches.
There's like all types of energies. You trade them with
other people and it's kind of like sharing. My friends
had them before I did. So one night I went
like to Maccas with my cousin and in the toy
pack they had some. So then I went to my
(03:01):
nan's with my cousin and she gave me some.
Natalie (03:04):
Thanks, gang. Those hobbies sound great. There's a stack of
hobbies that you can get involved with, such as gardening
and cooking, collecting things, and doing arts and crafts. Pause
the podcast for a moment to make two lists. One
list with the hobbies you already do, and the second
(03:26):
list with some hobbies that spark your interest. Maybe you
like something that one of the other kids said and
think you might like to try it. When you're done
with your lists, come back to the podcast. How'd you go?
(03:47):
Do you have a lot of new hobbies that you'd
like to try? Or only 1 or 2, but both
is absolutely fine. When you want to try something new,
it can be a little tricky to know where to start,
so let's see if the others have any tips for
us on how to get started.
S5 (04:02):
I got interested about Pokemon because kids at school started
talking about it, and now I was able to get
some Pokemon cards with my pocket money.
When I was young, I used to borrow books. I
used to bring them home and my mom used to
read them to me. When I got into year five,
(04:25):
I started thinking, oh well, I don't really want my
mom reading books to me because every night we would
read a little chapter and I just wanted to keep reading.
And so then I started borrowing books from Braille House,
and I really liked doing that because one I could
read for as long as I wanted, and two, the,
(04:47):
the books that I read were pretty good. And I
still read Braille house books today.
S6 (04:53):
My daughter loves being creative and finding different, um, avenues
to explore, and one of the things she likes to
do is singing. So we do a lot of singing
at home and in the car. And so at church
they announced that they were having a children's choir if they, um,
kids wanted to participate in. And I suggested to her,
(05:15):
the great thing was she was a bit nervous at
first because she said she had stage fright. So I said,
give it a go, which she did, and she's done
so well and loved every moment of it.
S5 (05:24):
Me and his brother became friends, so one day I
was sitting with him in the after school care room
and he said to me, oh, do you know this song?
And he's like, yeah, you should listen to it. It's
a rap song. And I said, oh, I've never heard
of rap before. So I get home and I search
up the song and I listened to it and I'm like, oh,
(05:46):
this is pretty good, I like it. So the next
week I come up to him and say, hey, that
song that you told me was really good. Can you
tell me some more songs about that artist? And he said, yeah, sure,
I know a lot. So he told me and I
went and searched them up and I listened to them
(06:06):
and I really liked them. And then the next time
I went on Apple Music, I was scrolling through his
stuff and I came down the bottom and I saw
these artists, and I went into them and I listened
to them. And yeah, that's how I got into rap music.
Natalie (06:21):
Thanks, guys. Those tips are really helpful. Why don't you
pause the podcast for a moment and note any tips
you think are really helpful and want to try? The
end of this podcast, you're going to have a list
(06:44):
of all these new activities that you can try and
tips on how to get started. Another great way to
spend your free time is doing something creative. This might
be a physical creation or a performance. Think about making music,
learning an instrument, or singing. Or what about dancing or acting?
Perhaps you have a party trick or you're good at
(07:05):
telling jokes. Do you enjoy making things like with Lego
or clay or with paint? Have you thought of giving
pottery a try? Let's hear from the others about what
they love and why they love it so much.
S7 (07:19):
I like collecting things locks, keys, metal and plastic so
I can make inventions with them.
I like Lego is because you can make lots of
different things and even stuff in your imagination.
Natalie (07:36):
Okay, you've convinced me I might give it a go.
I'm not sure I'm going to be very good at those,
but that's okay. It could be fun. Time to pause
the podcast again, and this time put down 1 or
2 creative activities that you think you'd like to try.
But don't forget to come back. Turn the podcast back
on when you're done. So which activities did you choose?
(08:08):
Sounds like you're on the right track. So how can
you get involved in creative activities? I wonder if the
others have any tips.
S7 (08:16):
My tip for joining creative activities is joining art clubs
at lunchtime.
Natalie (08:25):
Ah, there you go. Great tip. One of the first
places you can go to see if you can get
involved in the activity you want to try is school.
Most schools have music groups or dance groups or opportunities
to perform. If you have some friends who already do
a creative activity, maybe you can ask them where they
do it, and you can ask an adult to help
you find places where you can give an activity a try.
(08:48):
You can usually have a lesson for free just to
see if you like it. And of course, some creative
activities like making things or painting. You can do that
at home. So far we've talked about hobbies and creative
activities and now it's time to get moving. Well, not
(09:08):
actually moving. We're going to talk about moving and activities
that you can do to move more. Do you want
to be fit and healthy? Of course you do. And
that means you need to move. By being active and
moving more, you can have fun with friends and family.
It also makes you feel happier and full of energy
and a little tip. Physical activity is said to improve
(09:29):
not only your fitness, but also have a positive impact
on your attitude, posture, and sense of well-being. Most kids
and even adults don't move enough. The Australian government is
so worried about us not moving enough that they've come
up with recommendations on how much we should move each day.
Do you want to guess how much time you should
be moving? Good guess. You need to move at least
(09:55):
one hour each day doing activities that make your heart
beat faster. But more is better. And if you don't
have to do it all in one go, you can
do it in a few shorter periods during the day.
Some activities you can think of are running, rock climbing,
bike riding, swimming, dancing or sports like AFL, soccer, goalball, athletics, cricket, basketball,
(10:16):
volleyball and more. And you also need to do a
few hours of lighter physical activities each day, such as
walking to school or walking the dog, helping around the house,
or going to the park with friends or family. Let's
hear from the other kids about what they do to
be physically active.
S7 (10:34):
I go Ninja are used as heaps of obstacles like
swings and slides and bouncy beams and seesaws and monkey
bars and trampoline. Um. I like to play with the moon,
but sometimes I get mixed up with obstacles. That's why
the coach helps me. Because Nana needs to help me.
(10:57):
But I don't need her anymore either.
S4 (10:59):
Vizier. I also do swimming lessons, and I go to
gymnastics every Friday. What I love about being, like, active.
Like it puts you in a better mood. Like running,
it gets you all your energy out. So, like, it
makes you tired and you're my sleep better and get
(11:19):
some good energy. It's just like finding something good to do,
like activities.
child1 (11:26):
When I went to camp, we did lots of physical
activities like archery, flying fox, giant swing, abseiling. My two
favourites were the flying fox and abseiling. Because the flying Fox,
I felt really free when I was flying through the
air and abseiling. It was so much fun to just
(11:50):
make myself drop from the top of a 12 metre wall.
It sounds scary, but it's like really fun because you
get to moonwalk down the wall. Also, I did archery.
I loved archery because it was quite fun pulling the
arrow back. But the funny part is, I focused so
hard on positioning myself correctly and pulling it back. I
(12:12):
forgot to look where I was firing so I didn't
even hit the target.
S7 (12:17):
This year I've started blind cricket. If you're a B1,
which is someone who's completely blind and you're bowling, the
wicket keeper calls out your name three times. The the
bowler bowls underarm instead of overarm in real, like in
(12:37):
real cricket, the batsman kneels down and then hits the
ball on the weekend. I also do martial art. I
always sit up the front so I can see everything
and sometimes my instructor helps me.
Natalie (12:56):
Thanks, team. All right, it's time to pause the podcast
again and do an activity. I would like you to
make two more lists. The first list is for light
physical activities. You want to give a try or do
more of. And remember these are activities like walking to school,
walking the dog, helping around the house, the garden or
the shed. Let's do this one first. Did you write
(13:27):
1 or 2 ideas down? Well done. Now we're going
to make a second list with physical activities that will
make your heart beat faster. This list could have some
sports on it if you wish. If you find it
a bit more difficult to make this list, you can
ask someone to help you. So pause the podcast for
a few minutes and come back when you have 1
(13:47):
or 2 activities on your list. Was that difficult, or
did you already know what you wanted to put on
the list? Now we need to find out how you
can get involved in physical activity, and I'm sure the
(14:08):
others have some good tips for us.
S5 (14:10):
My tip for all you guys out there, um, give
it a go. Try your best. And if other people say, oh,
you can't do it because you've got a visual impairment,
try and try your best to prove them wrong because
they're not. They're not correct if they say that.
Natalie (14:31):
Thanks, team. Some great ideas. There's one more type of
leisure activity to talk about. Did you know that I
love games? It's true. I love playing board games with
my family. They are a great way to relax and
have fun. Although I must say we are all still
quite competitive. What's your favourite board game? Do you have one? Yeah,
(14:53):
I like that one too. Board games are great to
do with others, but do you sometimes feel that you
need to be just by yourself? We all do. Some
great activities you can do by yourself are reading, puzzles,
listening to music, and playing video games. Some online games
do not require vision. You might like to ask an
(15:14):
adult to help you find the ballyLand apps. They are
online games that are great fun for younger children. By
learning to use VoiceOver or Talkback, depending on what device
you have, there are stacks of accessible games to choose from.
Are there any leisure activities you'd like to add to
your lists? Pause the podcast for a moment and come
back when you've added to your list. So we've talked
(15:48):
about lots of different activities that you can do in
your free time. We talked about hobbies, creative activities, physical
activities and leisure activities, and all of these help you
to relax, become stronger, fitter and happier. And you heard
from some other kids about what they do in their
free time, and they've given us some fantastic tips on
(16:09):
how to get involved. You made some lists with activities
that you want to try. Chances are you might need
the help of an adult to get started. So when
this podcast is finished, tell the adult what you've learned
today about recreation and leisure and show them the list
of activities you've made and what you would like to try.
Then together, choose one activity to start with and ask
(16:32):
the adult to help you find the information about the
activity and how to get involved. So that's it for today.
I hope you enjoyed learning about recreation and leisure, and
hearing from others about their stories and tips of their
favorite activities to do. Before we go, have a think
about this. Is there one activity or idea that you'd
(16:52):
like to try? It could be something. One of the
others suggested. One of my tips or another thing that
you've been thinking about. Could you try it today or tomorrow?
What's the next step you could do to get involved?
If you like, you can also write it down in
your digital heart. E-portfolio. Thanks team for sharing with us today.
(17:12):
It was great to hear some of the activities you
do and why you like doing them. And thanks to
you so much for listening. See you next time. Bye.

try and try your best to prove them wrong because
they're not. They're not correct if they say that.
Natalie (14:31):
Thanks, team. Some great ideas. There's one more type of
leisure activity to talk about. Did you know that I
love games? It's true. I love playing board games with
my family. They are a great way to relax and
have fun. Although I must say we are all still
quite competitive. What's your favourite board game? Do you have one? Yeah,
(14:53):
I like that one too. Board games are great to
do with others, but do you sometimes feel that you
need to be just by yourself? We all do. Some
great activities you can do by yourself are reading, puzzles,
listening to music, and playing video games. Some online games
do not require vision. You might like to ask an
(15:14):
adult to help you find the ballyLand apps. They are
online games that are great fun for younger children. By
learning to use VoiceOver or Talkback, depending on what device
you have, there are stacks of accessible games to choose from.
Are there any leisure activities you'd like to add to
your lists? Pause the podcast for a moment and come
back when you've added to your list. So we've talked
(15:48):
about lots of different activities that you can do in
your free time. We talked about hobbies, creative activities, physical
activities and leisure activities, and all of these help you
to relax, become stronger, fitter and happier. And you heard
from some other kids about what they do in their
free time, and they've given us some fantastic tips on
(16:09):
how to get involved. You made some lists with activities
that you want to try. Chances are you might need
the help of an adult to get started. So when
this podcast is finished, tell the adult what you've learned
today about recreation and leisure and show them the list
of activities you've made and what you would like to try.
Then together, choose one activity to start with and ask
(16:32):
the adult to help you find the information about the
activity and how to get involved. So that's it for today.
I hope you enjoyed learning about recreation and leisure, and
hearing from others about their stories and tips of their
favorite activities to do. Before we go, have a think
about this. Is there one activity or idea that you'd
(16:52):
like to try? It could be something. One of the
others suggested. One of my tips or another thing that
you've been thinking about. Could you try it today or tomorrow?
What's the next step you could do to get involved?
If you like, you can also write it down in
your digital heart. E-portfolio. Thanks team for sharing with us today.
(17:12):
It was great to hear some of the activities you
do and why you like doing them. And thanks to
you so much for listening. See you next time. Bye.
