An illustrative half-day programme
The timetable below is an organiser's illustrative example, not a BounceParkSG service package or confirmed duration. Adjust every time block, activity and staffing arrangement to your office layout, participant ages and company policy.
| Time | Segment | Notes for the organiser |
|---|---|---|
| 9:00 | Arrival and registration | Parents sign children in at reception. Record the responsible adult for each child and the confirmed pickup person. |
| 9:30 | Office tour by department | Small groups rotate through two or three departments. Each host explains what the team does in plain language. Keep groups moving so no single area is crowded. |
| 10:15 | Creative stations | Set up two or three activity tables in a common area or meeting room: colouring sheets, a build-your-own-badge station, or a simple team challenge. Rental play equipment such as a ball pit or carnival game can supplement the stations if the measured venue space and ceiling height allow. |
| 11:15 | Food break | Prepacked snacks or a live food station in the pantry or breakout area. Confirm dietary requirements in advance and keep the food area separate from play equipment. |
| 11:45 | Group photo and wrap-up | Gather for a group photo, distribute any take-home items and begin parent pickup. |
| 12:15 | Pickup complete | All children collected by the confirmed pickup person. |
Space and ceiling constraints
Office common areas, meeting rooms and building function rooms differ from outdoor fields. Before booking rental equipment:
- Measure the ceiling height and floor area of every room you plan to use
- Check with building management for weight limits, noise restrictions and power point access
- Confirm that the specific equipment model fits the measured space; an item appearing in a catalogue does not mean it fits your office
Use the kids-at-work events page to compare rental options, then confirm each selected model, permitted use and operating area for your actual office.
Age groups and supervision
A programme that includes toddlers, primary-school children and teenagers needs different activities or separate time slots for each group. Share the actual age breakdown when you enquire so the vendor can confirm which items suit each group.
Agree who is responsible for supervising each segment, whether parents remain present and what any booked equipment staff actually cover. Assign named adults and a handover process before the event. Do not assume an equipment operator provides general child-minding. Decide in advance:
- Which staff members are assigned to each group during each time block
- Whether parents remain on-site throughout the programme
- How handover works between the tour, activity stations and food break
For guidance on matching activities to age groups at a mixed event, read planning a corporate family day.
Department-specific activities
Each department can prepare a short hands-on task that lets children see what the team does. These are the organiser's own arrangements, not vendor services:
- Marketing: children design a simple poster for an imaginary product
- IT or engineering: a sorting or logic puzzle at the desk
- Finance: a counting game with play money
- Operations: a packing or sorting relay
Keep each department stop to 10 to 15 minutes and assign a host from that team to explain and supervise.
Adding rental equipment
If the venue has the measured space, rental items such as ball pits, carnival game booths or a photo booth can fill the creative stations segment. Confirm venue dimensions, ceiling height, access route and power availability with the vendor. Do not assume any inflatable or machine fits an office; each model has published dimensions and operating requirements that must be checked against the actual room.
Use the event enquiry builder to draft your WhatsApp message with venue details, headcount and age range, and the team will confirm what fits.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the measured space and your building and company rules. Ask about ceiling height, floor area, access, power, occupancy and noise. Check permission for tours, crafts and food as well as rental equipment. A catalogue listing or body-dimension shortlist does not approve a room for operation.
Agree supervision with the employer, parents, venue and any booked providers before the event. Assign named adults to each segment and confirm handovers and pickup arrangements. Any equipment operator covers only the role confirmed for that booking; do not assume general childcare is included.
The employer and organising team decide which age groups can attend. Plan activities, access and supervision around those actual ages, then ask the supplier about the permitted use of each selected model. Separate activities or sessions may be appropriate; no model is assumed suitable for every age.
