Simon;

I am thinking "sneaker-net" where a USB-stick is taken back to a remote 
location off net to add activities.
Maybe downloaded on a computer to the USB-stick with a fast internet 
connection with a different browser.

The alternate is for them to Download and burn:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#ASLOxo-6  (3.2 GB DVD .iso)
which has over 500 sugar activitiy .xo files on it.
