How to keep your kids entertained during school holidays
- Beaches: If you live close to the coast why not take the kids to the beach for the day!
- Parks: Most towns are cities are full of parks and spaces for kids to play
- Libraries: The weekly story time and rhyme time sessions at local libraries are often not on during school holidays but they will be replaced by activity sessions for school aged children. Check out your local council or library website for more details
- Shopping centres: Your local shopping centres often put on some free school holiday entertainment
- Swimming pools: Kids love swimming! Find out the opening times of your local pool
- Art, drama, cooking classes: Sport courses aren’t the only way to acquire a new skill during the school holidays. You can also enrol your child in an art, drama or cooking class
How to help your kids refresh before school starts again
- Go out less: This is very important, because going out too often will drain energy levels below what we are trying to replace.
- Limit screen time
- Read together: You can read books together as a family every day
