Some ideas for keeping kids busy.
Some ideas for keeping kids busy.
- Children are seldom bored if they have a friend with them, so try and organize play days with other kids from their school.
- Board Games such as Pictionary, Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit, keep children occupied for hours, even simple card games can be fun.
- Involve children in projects, such as redecorating their room, making a small herb garden or even woodwork in your garage.
- Take them to movies with friends. This keeps them occupied for a couple of hours.
- Libraries, museums, aquariums and churches often have special programmes during the holiday seasons. It is also very educational for the kids.
- Try and get them involved in some sort of holiday sport or summer camp.
- If they are interested in something like ice skating, get them to invite some friends to come along.
- Bird Parks are also great and love watching the bird shows.
- A favourite place for children is the zoo. It’s an animal paradise where a large selection of animals can be viewed.
- It’s also a great idea to take a picnic along and spend the day there.
