Free Fun Things To Do With The Kids During School Holidays - Ideas Please?

My kids are both teens now but there are things like going for walks in the neighbourhood, playing with sidewalk chalk, arts & crafts can be VERY cheap and great for rainy days as is movie/snuggle time...check your local library to see if they have free fun sessions for kids too...

Ellie..do you have a garden to teach him to plant things? How about a library for storytime?..they do it here and it has puppet shows and stories free. You could do this at your own home too. There is a nature park here to walk through,look at things and act like you are in a hidden world..maybe play act things with him and let him take charge. have fun!

We like to go to the public library! You can rent dvds, video tapes and books! There are also events every now and then, and often the library is near a playground! It takes a few hours for us to get there by bus and back, and there are also computers for the kids to use!

go to your backyard, take a music player with you and few kids.. PLAY "anthakshri" which means sing from the letter the previous person left in..start to sing then when u finish, the other person should start to sing from the last letter of the previous person's song.. how is it $0.00

there are many things to do in summer to keep ur son entertained.u have a good idea to take ur son at beach.also u acn take him to any video games shop to play games.and u can take him to watch cartoon movies bcoz kids like cartoon movies.and lots of other things.

i sit with my son and we make greeting cards which i keep sending to his Grandparents as Rishi's latest arts...and they love it...we both do paper mache...we collect stones frm the park of different sizes and shapes and i let him paint them colourful...drawing and colouring....i make a picture and tell him to stick confitti balls (colorful thermocol balls which is but inside baloons)in the picture and cover it....these activities we do in the mornings and afternoons...evening is outdoor skating, pak, swimming,...

Well, I can think of lots of free stuff that you can do with kids on your free time; especially on weekends and holidays. How about swimming? Dancing; the kids style for fun will be great. Take them out for ice cream is another suggestion. I would take them out to go for walks. That is all I could think of.

i have many tips about that.

Hi there! Why not try making a so-called "Holiday Camp" at your house with your kids. It's like you can do various activities with your kids and stuff. Like teaching them how to cook, clean and the like. You can also have a dvd marathon at home. All you have to do is rent or borrow dvds and then you're all set. Inexpensive indeed.

My daughter is twelve now, but I used to go through this every summer. We would do the beach, parks, zoo and aquarium, but you need some other things too. If you live where you can have a pool this is fantastic and will keep him occupied for many days and you can relax yourself, just don't forget the sunblock. We used to bake, sugar cookies are great because they can decorate them even at that age. Making playdough was fun. Movies and board games for rainy days. Playdates are always good. Any kind of crafts they can handle, make a scrapbook. Something as simple as melting crayons together to make multiple colors can be fun for kids that age. We used to do what we called "bad hair days," get out some gel and let him go at it (your hair and his.) Buy a soccer ball or kickball, that is fun all summer. A walk everyday is a good way to get out of the house and let him burn some energy. Another thing to do is look at everyday things and find ways to make them fun. A race to see who can clean up the most in a certain amount of time gets them to help and makes it fun. Let him help make simple lunches. It's messy, but you can even make cleaning up part of the fun. It can be difficult to fill the days, but if you think outside the box it makes it much easier.
