The FunBurst Challenge Deck: 30 No-Prep Activities That Fit Into Life's Busiest Schedules—Creating 'When Can We Do This Again, Dad?' Moments That Last a Lifetime
You collapse on the couch after a long day, and your child asks to play—but you're completely drained.
When you ask "How was school?" you get the dreaded one-word answer: "Fine."
You feel a pang of guilt when you realize days have passed without any meaningful connection.
Your child seems more interested in screens than spending time with you.
You want to be "that dad" who creates amazing memories, but you feel like you just don't have the energy or time?
By the time weekend arrives, your child seems like almost a stranger.
If any of this resonates, you're not alone. Research shows 83% of working parents wish they had more quality time with their children—but struggle to find the energy and ideas to make it happen.
What if you could have a ready-to-go collection of engaging activities that...
Take exactly 15 minutes (perfect for before dinner, after homework, or right before bedtime)
Require zero preparation or special materials
Are specifically designed to create lasting bonds and open communication
Actually get your child excited to disconnect from screens and connect with you
Work even when you're exhausted or distracted
Build deeper relationships one small, consistent moment at a time
The 15-Minute FunBurst Challenge Deck was created by dads, for dads who want to make the most of small windows of time—turning ordinary moments into extraordinary connections.
Hey there,
I'm Ryan, father of 3, and the creator of the FunBurst Challenge Deck.
A couple of years ago, I was that dad who kept promising himself "I'll spend more time with the kids tonight after work or this weekend," only to find myself exhausted, too busy, or just out of ideas when the moment finally came.
One night, my 7-year-old daughter asked me a question that hit me like a ton of bricks: "Dad, why don't we do fun stuff together anymore like we used to?"
That question changed everything.
I realized I didn't need more time—I needed better time. So I started creating quick, simple activities we could do in the small windows between work calls, dinner prep, and bedtime routines.
Those 15-minute "FunBursts" became the highlight of our days. My kids started anticipating them, asking "What challenge are we doing today?" instead of disappearing into their devices.
Other dads noticed and started asking for my "secret." That's when I compiled these activities into what's now the FunBurst Challenge Deck—tested by real dads with real busy schedules and real energy limitations.
These aren't Pinterest-perfect crafts or complicated games. They're simple, powerful connection moments that fit into the life you actually have—not the one you wish you had more time for.
Because here's what I've learned: Kids don't need elaborate adventures. They need YOU, present and engaged, even if it's just for 15 minutes at a time.
Let's make those minutes count.

My son and I have done a FunBurst challenge every day for two weeks. Last night he told me I was his best friend.

"These activities are genius"
These activities are genius in their simplicity. No prep, no stress, just connection.

"She puts down her phone!"
My daughter actually puts down her phone when I announce it's FunBurst time!

Here are some troubling statistics...
Children who report low parental engagement are 40% more likely to experience mental health issues including anxiety and depression by adolescence (American Psychological Association, 2022).
According to a longitudinal study published in the Journal of Child Development, children with limited quality time with fathers specifically have a 48% higher risk of behavioral problems in school by age 11.
Research from Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child found that children without strong parental bonds are 67% more likely to engage in risky behaviors including substance use by age 15.
A 2023 study published in Pediatrics revealed that children who experienced consistent parental emotional unavailability showed a 35% decrease in academic performance compared to peers with engaged parents.
According to data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, adolescents who report insufficient bonding with parents are 3.5 times more likely to experience relationship difficulties and trust issues in their own adult relationships.
It's the gradual drift that happens so slowly you barely notice.
It's the day you realize your child stopped asking you to play.
It's when "Dad, watch this!" becomes increasingly rare.
It's the teenage years arriving with a child who's used to solving problems without you—because you were always "too busy."
And perhaps most painful of all? It's the realization that these years—the ones where your child actually wants your attention—are slipping away while you're caught in the daily grind.
Each day that passes without meaningful connection is one you can never get back.
The good news? Research shows it's not about quantity of time—it's about quality. And even small, intentional moments of connection can reverse this trend before it's too late.
Why 15 Minutes Now Means Everything Later
Child development experts have identified ages 7-13 as the "golden window" for parent-child bonding. During these years:
Your child is developmentally ready for deeper connection
They still value your opinion and seek your approval
They haven't fully prioritized peer relationships over family
Their core memories—the ones that shape their view of themselves and you—are being formed
The foundation for your teen and adult relationship is being built
But this window doesn't stay open forever.
Studies show that by age 14, many children have largely formed their permanent perception of their relationship with their father.
The clock is ticking—but you don't need hours to make a difference.
That's exactly why the FunBurst Challenge Deck focuses on high-impact, 15-minute connection activities specifically designed for the 7-13 age range.
Because the right 15 minutes today can shape your relationship for the next 15 years.
The complete solution for busy dads (or moms) who want stronger bonds with their children without adding stress to their already packed schedules.
This isn't just another activity book. It's a carefully crafted system for creating meaningful connection in the small windows of time you actually have available.
Unlike generic parenting advice that ignores the realities of your schedule, the FunBurst Challenge Deck was created by dads living in the trenches of busy careers and family life. We've distilled years of child development research and real-world testing into activities that deliver maximum connection impact in minimal time—allowing you to be present and engaged without the guilt of "not doing enough" or the stress of elaborate planning.

Common Questions About the FunBurst Challenge Deck
Absolutely! The FunBurst Challenge Deck was specifically designed for dads who don't consider themselves naturally playful or creative. Each activity comes with clear, simple instructions that anyone can follow. No special skills or "fun dad" personality required—just your presence and willingness to try.
Each FunBurst activity is carefully designed to take approximately 15 minutes from start to finish. We've tested these with real dads with busy schedules to ensure they fit into small pockets of available time. Of course, if you're having fun and want to extend an activity, that's great too!
Yes! The activities are specifically designed to be more engaging than passive screen time. Many dads report their children voluntarily put down devices when "FunBurst time" is announced. The activities tap into children's natural desire for attention and engagement with their parents—something no screen can truly provide.
The FunBurst Challenge Deck is optimized for children ages 7-13, which child development experts identify as the "golden window" for parent-child bonding. That said, many activities can be adapted for children slightly younger or older with small modifications (which we explain in the bonus guide).
No! That's one of the core principles of the FunBurst Challenge Deck—zero prep, zero special materials. All activities use items you already have around the house (like paper, pillows, or nothing at all), or they're completely prop-free and focused on conversation, movement, or imagination.
While the FunBurst Challenge Deck was created with the specific dynamics of father-child relationships in mind, many of the activities work beautifully for mothers as well. The core principles of connection through play, conversation, and shared experience are universal.

The FunBurst Challenge Deck was specifically created for extremely busy parents. Each activity fits into small windows of time you already have: before bedtime, during breakfast, on a short car ride, or between other commitments. Many dads report that once they start using the deck, they actually discover more available time than they realized they had.
We stand behind the FunBurst Challenge Deck with our 30-day FunBond Guarantee. If you try at least 5 activities in the first 30 days and don't see a meaningful improvement in your connection with your child, simply email us for a complete refund. We're confident you'll see results, but we want this to be completely risk-free for you.
Yes! Many of the activities work wonderfully with multiple children. We include special notes for adapting each activity for sibling groups while ensuring each child gets the connection they need.
Imagine your child's face lighting up when you announce "It's FunBurst time!"
Imagine the pride you'll feel when they tell their friends about the cool things they do with their dad.
Imagine the foundation you're building for a relationship that will last long after they've grown.
All it takes is 15 minutes and the right activities.
The choice is simple:
