Today is the start of the 2-week long school holidays and I have been starting to feel my headache coming since early this week! While some of my friends started to get excited and were switched into holiday mode a few days before the mid school term ended, I am feeling stressed actually. Our getaway from the city is only in a week’s time and I am thinking hard on what sort of activities I should engage my 3 active kids in to drain off their boundless energy. This morning, we brought them to the tennis court of our condo to play badminton and scooter while I worked out in the gym. Now they are doing painting while I have to do a review on vonage promotion. That’s half a day gone. So far no outburst and fights from them yet. I welcome ideas from parents on how they spend their days with their kids during the school holidays, inexpensively.
For sure outdoor activities, swimming etc. Also make up projects for ard the hse eg clean-up, re-organizing their stuff/ toys, helping with meal prep. Of course all this have to be made fun and not like work! U could set up some goals, like learn to make toast or grilled cheese or bake a simple cake/ muffins. And maybe set up a competition betw them to see who can read the most # of books, winner gets a prize etc. Have friends over to visit or for a sleepover, although make sure u set up some basic rules before everyone runs wild! I speak from personal experience!
Thanks Chris for those great tips, as always!
