Before we know it, it will be the summer school holidays. It can be difficult to continually keep the kids busy to avoid holiday boredom. That’s why we’ve come up with a few ideas to stay busy without breaking the bank. For those in lockdown, we have you covered also.
Bike ride
Enjoy the fresh air by going for a family bike ride around your local neighbourhood. Don’t forget your helmet!
At home obstacle course
It’s time to channel your inner Wipe Out and set up an epic obstacle course in your backyard or wherever you have space. Hop through hoops, dodge the swinging pool noodles, and cartwheel your way to the finish line. Bonus point if you can do it in record time.
Visit your local arcade
Head down to your local arcade for hours of fun with even the chance to win a prize.
Paint and sip
Get classy and pour a glass of your kids’ favourite drink with nibbles while you paint your masterpiece! Amazon.com offers great ‘paint by numbers’ options suitable for all ages and various interests
Water fight
Fire up the water balloons and arm the water cannons, it’s time for a water fight. Great for those warm afternoons while having loads of fun.
Treasure hunt
Did you hear the news? Pirates have buried treasure and it’s up to you to find it. Whether it’s at your local park, by the beach or around your house, hide sweets or plastic coins for your kids to find. Keep the imagination alive by creating a map to find the treasure.
Strawberry picking
Sun’s out, strawberries out. Why not spend the morning picking strawberries at your local fresh strawberry farm and enjoy the fruits of your labour paired with your favourite ice-cream?
Movie marathon
For those lazy days, bring out the popcorn and switch on your favourite movie to get settled in. Make it extra special by building a pillow fort using an old top sheet draped between couches.
Rock climbing
Reach new heights at your local rock-climbing centre. It’s a great way to stay active and the instructors will demonstrate how to get the most out of your climb while also being safe.
