By the end of the school holidays, you may be feeling a little frustrated.
The excitement of Christmas has been and gone, finances may be a little tight, and the kids have been ‘bored’ ever since they left school.
While it’s tempting to keep them occupied online, there are some simple activities families can do together to break the boredom. As an added bonus, they’ll help everyone to get fitter and feel better.
Let’s get moving!
Let’s face it, dragging kids away from their screens can be a challenge, so what if you combined screen time with fitness?
There are a number of apps that make getting active fun. Pokemon Go has been around for years now and is still a fun way to get walking. Catch imaginary creatures on your screen as you walk, and visit public places like parks to top up with special items. It’s amazing how far the kids will want to walk to ‘hatch an egg’ to get a new Pokemon!
Whether you create a competition to see how many shells can be collected at the beach, or create an actual treasure hunt with clues and prizes, these mystery games can eat up hours of a day and keep the kids active for longer than they realise.
Remember Mary Poppins? Well, there’s still joy in flying a kite, especially if it’s one the kids had a hand in making themselves. Scour the internet for instructions on how to build a kite, then pick a breezy day to try it out down at the beach. Pack a cricket set or frisbees and watch the hours melt away.
