Summer Activities for Children

After what has been a very unusual and difficult year, schools are about to close their doors and say hello to the summer holidays! Children have had a challenging year and hopefully, with restrictions easing across the UK, this summer can be a brilliant, exciting one for all.

With this in mind, we have compiled a list of fun things for children to do this summer.

Learning Activities:

  • Encourage them to read in any way they can over the break.
  • Give them a journal so they can write about their summer adventures, if they are too young, have them tell you what to write and let them draw pictures to accompany the text.
  • Practice maths in everyday life such as counting toys, matching pairs and pointing out the numbers on a clock or money at the check-out.
  • Do puzzles; traditional picture puzzles, word searches, crosswords or for the little ones, connect the dots. For older children, teach them how to play chess.
  • Visit local amenities such as libraries, museums or historical attractions.
  • Encourage them to help you with cooking and preparing food
