Youth Work Ireland’s Fun Fix Activity Pack is a bright, practical, and playful toolkit designed to make running youth club sessions easier, more engaging, and, above all, more fun. The pack is full of easy-to-use ideas that help young people connect, laugh, and express themselves without the stress of complicated preparation or expensive resources.
It’s designed for youth workers, volunteers, and anyone supporting young people in a club setting, offering a simple way to turn an ordinary evening into something special.
At its heart, the Fun Fix is about creating spaces where young people feel relaxed, included, and free to be themselves. The activities encourage conversation and connection, helping groups get to know one another while building trust and confidence. Some games spark laughter straight away, breaking down awkward silences and warming up the room, while others invite creativity and collaboration, allowing participants to work together and solve challenges in new and unexpected ways.
What makes the pack especially useful is its flexibility. Whether you’re working with a small group or a bustling youth club, there’s something here that can be adapted to suit the moment. Many of the activities require little more than a few everyday objects — a beach ball, a bag of random items, or even just a roll of toilet paper — proving that fun doesn’t have to be complicated. By stripping things back to what’s simple and accessible, the pack ensures that no matter where you are or what resources you have, you can still create memorable experiences that bring young people together.
It’s also a great resource for those times when you need something quick and ready to go. You don’t have to spend hours planning — you can simply dip into the pack, pick an activity, and know you’ll have something engaging that works. It’s the kind of toolkit you’ll keep coming back to, whether you’re running a weekly session, a one-off event, or just filling a bit of unexpected downtime.
The Fun Fix Activity Pack is free to download and easy to use, making it an invaluable companion for anyone working with young people. It’s not just about passing time; it’s about making time meaningful.
