School holidays can mean long days at home and a lot of requests for the TV or phone. The good news is that a few simple activities can keep kids happily busy without screens.
Ideas to try
- Art afternoons – set out paper, crayons and paints and let them create freely.
- Building challenges – ask them to build the tallest tower or a house with blocks.
- Family game hour – a board game after supper brings everyone together.
- Outdoor play – balls, bubbles and ride-on toys burn off energy in the compound.
- Music time – a small keyboard or drum set lets them make their own songs.
Make a simple routine
Mixing active play, quiet creative time and rest helps the days run smoothly and reduces the “I’m bored!” moments.
