How we encourage our scholars to be kind and compassionate
School holidays are the best time for families to spend time together and enjoy quality time. However, school holidays can be challenging for parents as they have to find activities to entertain their kids during the holidays.
School holidays are the best time for families to spend time together and enjoy quality time. However, school holidays can be challenging for parents as they have to find activities to entertain their kids during the holidays.
Here are some activities that you can do with your families this holiday season
Outdoor activities
With the heat we’ve experienced in the country, going to a waterpark will be so much fun for the whole family. Kids can enjoy swimming and playing on various slides throughout the day. To manage the costs, prepare food and snacks from home to avoid paying extra fees. Going to a waterpark can also be an excellent way for children to learn how to swim. For parents who want to stick to a budget, you can utilise the free public swimming pools in your area instead of spending money going to a water park. There are plenty of swimming pools in various locations across the country. For this activity, please keep your eyes on your children, especially if they can’t swim. Avoid leaving children unattended at the water park or the swimming pools. An adult must always be with children to ensure their safety.
The aquarium is a fun place for kids to be in and to learn about the various ocean creatures. They can also learn about what people do at the aquarium, how they keep the ocean creatures safe, and the importance of keeping our oceans clean to ensure the ocean animals can survive.
Baking or cooking is a family fun activity that can help you bond with your family during the holidays. Most families gather during the holidays, so there’s no perfect time to add some baking skills to your list.
You can teach your kids to bake various recipes that the family can showcase during Christmas or at a family gathering.
If you could be a better baker, take your kids to a baking or cooking class, which would be so much fun for the whole family.
Do a reading challenge.
During the holidays, it can be difficult for parents to limit screen time for their children. Starting a reading challenge is one of the best ways to keep children away from televisions and phones. You can reward your child every time they complete a book. Ask them to pick books that they like so it is easier for them to finish them.
Another outdoor activity that families can do during the holidays is going on a nature walk. This is a great way to explore the outdoors, exercise, and learn about nature. You can choose a nearby park or nature reserve and walk with your family. You can also bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenery while having a meal together. Ensure your children wear appropriate clothing, put on some sunscreen, and have plenty of water available to stay hydrated during the walk.
Who doesn’t love board games? They are fun, and children get to play while participating in learning. Choose fun and educational games to help your children continue learning throughout the holiday season. If you can’t purchase board games, there are many games that you can find on the internet which are fun and educational that the whole family can enjoy.
