24.01.2022 It's Sunday, so time to release this week's new awesome active game! PING PONG BASKETBALL is heaps of bouncy fun! I've played it with lots of kids and groups of grown-ups, so I can guarantee you'll have a blast playing!
23.01.2022 How good is it watching the Commonwealth Games! The athletes astound me with their skills and determination! It makes we wonder what junior sports different athletes played. When did they start playing sport? Have they always focused on one particular sport? What did their parents do to support them? Join me for a LIVE FACEBOOK VIDEO CHAT tomorrow (Thursday) at 8pm to talk all things junior sport! Throw me some curly questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them!
23.01.2022 PING PONG BEANSTALK - new active game release! Using cups and ping pong balls, how high can you grow your beanstalk? The higher you get, the more challenging it becomes! Watch the video and give it a go!!
22.01.2022 Keen to hear about some tips and ideas of how to get your family being active together? Tune in this Thursday night at 8pm for a live video chat with Captain Active's alter ego! With 9 and 11 year old boys, we've tried lots of different outdoor adventures over the years, so we have many experiences (both good and otherwise ) to draw from!

16.01.2022 Got kids that play Minecraft? What do you think of my take on the game?
16.01.2022 What a week it's been! With the help of my active mate Joel, we ran 3 ride to school days in Charters Towers for all 6 of the primary schools! With specific meeting locations, lots of fruit to start the day and 3km routes to school, we rode along the road with local police officers leading the way and riding with us! I used to love riding my BMX to school, so it was fantastic to see so many kids joining us and hearing teachers, kids and parents say they're going to continue to do it! Thanks Towers Council for helping us to get local kids being active, just like Captain Active!
14.01.2022 Unfortunately with Captain Active back on Activeland, we don't see his face too much these days, but it was front and centre on this awesome team's shirt at today's Towers Rush event in Charters Towers!! This is one of the Cap's all-time favourite events so I'm sure he'll be tickled pink to see he was there in spirit!! Maybe this will help us to get him back to Planet Earth!!
14.01.2022 It was great fun being back at the Moreton Kids Festival in Brisbane today! I got to MC the 'Active Zone' stage all day and do a couple of my cool new show/dance/exercise/song sessions! It's so much fun being able to put big smiles on kids (and grownups) faces, whilst hopefully inspiring them to be more active and healthy!!
14.01.2022 FRONT PAGE NEWS...Has Captain Active gone home to Activeland and left Planet Earth? Our favourite superhero hasn't been see in ages...has Lazy Cray Cray defeated him...no Facebook posts, pics, memes, ditties or videos...well, unfortunately the life of an awesome active superhero wasn't quite paying the bills, so the Captain's alter ego had to get a real job...hopefully like good friend Clarke Kent, he'll be able to do this and still save the world...so don't panic, Captain Active will be back to inspire, educate, entertain and get far too loud and excited very soon!!
13.01.2022 Did you watch our BREAKING NEWS video earlier in the week? If not (drumroll please) we've been filming a Captain Active pilot TV episode! Set inside the Hyperactive (the fruit and veggie rocket!) and outdoors, the show features the awesome new superhero Dynamic (the super PT Rachel from Move Inspiring Change), a high profile sportsperson (going to keep you hanging who this is ), a cool storyline, a game to watch and play and some yummy active food creations! Add to this some post production animation magic (by Will from Revolution Productions and Lior from Aftermath Post Production) and I can't wait to see how awesome the final product will look!!! We will launch it on YouTube to hopefully build a huge audience so the TV networks will be fighting each other to commission heaps more episodes!!
12.01.2022 Check out this fantastic active board game. Mini Ac, Lil' Ac and I had a ball playing Fit 2 B Fit! Unfortunately it's not yet available in Australia, but hopefully that changes soon! https://youtu.be/S8SRYxkfNoQ Flip2BFit
10.01.2022 What an amazing weekend I had last weekend, with a quick tour of Western Australia to perform shows in theaters in Esperance and Kalgoorlie! It felt unreal seeing so many families laughing, playing and getting involved in the shows! This feedback from an awesome active Mum sums it up perfectly... "Mum, when I get home from the show, I'm not going to watch tv- I'm going to go run outside and be active and get lots of energy" I'd never thought I'd hear my screen loving son say he'd rather not watch tv. Thank you Captain Active for being such a positive role model and thanks for putting on a great show! AWESOME
10.01.2022 May the Fourth Be With You
10.01.2022 What an awesome morning at the Porcupine Gorge Challenge! I got the honour of starting the U8's race and running with them up the squillion rock steps to the top!! With so many people getting outside, walking, running and smiling it was fantastic to be involved...not to mention the very cool chopper ride into the gorge...wait for the vid of that one...as hard as it is to believe, I think I got more excited than normal!!! A huge high 5 to everyone out there participating and volunteering today and to Flinders Shire Council for organising such a super event!!
10.01.2022 This vid was my first live Facebook chat, covering lots of different topics around junior sport.
09.01.2022 If you missed the live video chat last night about junior sport, you can catch up on it now. The main points to come out of it was to ensure your kids are having fun; play lots of different sports instead of focussing on just one; some kids aren't keen to play, but there are many different types of sport, recreation, events and activities, so research what's available and try it out; as your kids get older, if they want to specialise in a specific sport, support them as much ...as you can; monitor the amount of pressure the sport, expectations or people involved are putting on your kids; after games/events, tell your kids how much you enjoy watching them play; create conversations with your kids to find out what they are/aren't enjoying about sport; and once again, make sure your kids are having fun! You probably don't need to watch it now!!! See more
09.01.2022 This week's new game is FROG CUP!!!! Be an awesome active family and give it a go!! Ribbit ribbit, ribbet :)
07.01.2022 Why are there pics of an unmasked Captain Active with an alpaca and a goat?? (there's a sentence I never imagined I'd ever write!) Well, this morning, my phone alarm was set for 7:20am. All good, it went off, I got out of bed, got ready, checked out of the hotel and went to the Moreton Kids Festival. The only problem was that with daylight savings starting down south, my phone got confused and woke me up at 6:20am, so on arriving at the Festival, I found out I was an hour early!! So I made friends and chilled out with some very friendly farm animals!!
06.01.2022 Tomorrow night is the next instalment of LIVE CHAT THURSDAY when I'll be talking all things nutrition and food! I refer to foods as either 'active' or 'lazy', so I'll decipher what that means, plus, we'll chat about what's in food (eg sugars, fats, vitamins and minerals etc); reading nutrition information; and probably best of all, ways to get our kids to eat healthy foods! If you have any questions or specific food related topics you'd like me to cover, let me know in the comments!
04.01.2022 I love getting out and going fishing in our little tinny! Got totally out-fished by my boys today...they caught 8 between them and I got the big 0! In my defense I did do a lot of baiting and and line rigging!!
04.01.2022 Next week is the second LIVE CHAT THURSDAY, where I'll be de-masking and talking about how to get your family being active together! There is no doubt that going on active outdoor family adventures creates positive future habits for your kids, so I'll chat about types of activities that are perfect to do as a family (from plenty of personal experience), the preparation needed to make them as successful as possible, some things not to do (also from personal experience!) and how to make particular activities more enjoyable. I'd also love to hear about your own experiences and answer any questions you have, so tune in and comment as we go!
04.01.2022 This Thursday night at 8pm I'm launching LIVE CHAT THURSDAY! I've gone for a topic to kick off with that should be all about fun, but is quite often full of drama and angst... 'Navigating Junior Sport'. I will answer any questions you add in the comments feed and also be chatting about when, how and why to choose specific sports for your kids; why our kids will want to play sport; to what point should we encourage (or push?) our kids; how parent behaviour affects our kids; and the various pressures and politics of sporting clubs. With this being the first time I've done an interactive Facebook live video, I hope it's not just my Mum tuning in!!
03.01.2022 Be active, just like Captain Active's Mum!! I was lucky enough to be able to take my Mum on my tour of WA last weekend. She hadn't seen this beautiful part of Oz, so it was wonderful being able to share the experience with her! This vid is from Esperance on the southern coast looking towards Antarctica...what a stunning location...though the wind was certainly fresh! This is another one of the reasons I want to get kids and families active, so when you're in your later years you can still enjoy these amazing experiences!
02.01.2022 It was sooooo good getting back into the supersuit this week! I had the best time getting every primary school student in Charters Towers active (1200 of them!) with heaps of funky dances, old style aerobics moves and some body weight exercises all choreographed to heaps of awesome music! What do you think of these moves???
01.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW there are over 50 videos on the Captain Active Channel that show kids creative games they can play at home by themselves? They'll love watching them and will no doubt be inspired to give them a go! Subscribe to the channel and you'll never miss the new games that are released every Sunday morning!
01.01.2022 Batman's got Bruce Wayne, Superman's got Clark Kent, Iron Man's got Tony Stark and I, Captain Active, have Luke He'll be LIVE ON FACEBOOK TONIGHT AT 8PM to talk about 'active' and 'lazy' foods for the whole family. I'm sure you'll have lots of questions, so tune in and add them to the comments or risk him going off on his own crazy tangents!!
01.01.2022 Before you cook and eat your next meal of spaghetti and penne pasta, give this challenging game a go. PENNE PICKUP will test your fine motor control, nerves and concentration, but is also heaps of awesome fun! If you and your kids like the look of this, you'll find heaps more super active games on the Captain Active Channel on YouTube.
