Playing with puzzles

Encourage a screen-free break by introducing classic puzzles. Not only do they keep kids engaged, but they also help develop problem-solving skills, patience, and concentration. Plus, working on a puzzle can be a great way to relax and unwind while spending quality time together as a family.

A visit to the Library

School holidays are the perfect time to foster a love for reading at home. Encourage your child to create their own library card and borrow books from the library to read at home. Setting aside dedicated reading time each day not only enhances their literacy skills but also sparks creativity and imagination.

A picnic day

Pick a sunny day and plan a fun-filled picnic with your kids. Pack their favorite snacks or meals, and add exciting elements to keep them entertained, like flying a kite, kicking around a soccer ball, or even playing some classic outdoor games. It’s a great way to enjoy fresh air, spend quality time together, and make lasting memories.

Watch Movies

Set up a cozy movie day at home by selecting a few of your kids' favorite films. Create a fun movie theater experience with comfy blankets, dim lighting, and, of course, a big bowl of popcorn. You can even let the kids pick the theme for the day, whether it’s animated classics, adventure films, or a series marathon. It’s a great way to unwind, bond as a family, and enjoy some screen time together.
