Make your Holidays fun

Have you ever thought about what you could do to make school holidays a lot more fun? If you have OR haven’t read on - I will explain things that you can try out for your next school holidays. They don’t have to be a bore - time to turn it around! 

 One thing for sure is that mum and dad will have a list for us kids to work through. It’s the list of chores! At first we thought - ‘Stink!’ We wanted to sleep in longer and definitely not be doing chores. However we quickly learned that if we worked together - early in the day, then we have so much more time to relax, play games and have fun! I mention ‘early’ in the day as we had previously left things to the very last minute - before our parents got home. This never worked well. Our parents could tell that things were rushed and so the list of chores for the next day seemed to grow! So doing chores together and early in day ensures more time to play!

Now that the chores are out of the way - some fun activities we need to think about.  One I love - is a bit of cooking! That’s right - breakfast time! Without your parents home you can make toast and eggs, chucking in a extra amount of things because mum and dad are not there to see!   Having a little more breakfast than usual helps you get through the day better - not having to stop for lunch too - you can keep playing through!

Another fun activity that doesn’t cost - is simply hanging out with your neighbours for a bit of backyard (or front yard) sport.   Cricket was my favourite with my older brother and neighbours. There’s always a lot of laughter, some tense moments when wickets are lost and a lot of good company!  Be careful though to move the cricket pitch often as to not wear out parts of dad’s lawn! This was one thing we got plenty growling about!

A final idea I want to share is how to make your online gaming time a bit more fun.  When you have siblings - well you’re going to have the job of sharing the game console.  So what my family did was ins and outs. One game on and one game off. When you were on - the others had a board game or fun movie to watch.  Just make sure everyone is honest and gets off once they’re done. This can work really well! Turn taking is a great way to share the fun.

So there you go - some good ideas to try out in your next school holiday.  Remember, get the important jobs like chores done - first before the fun games.  Also when you’re in the fun games, laugh heaps, take turns and be good at keeping the time (before mum and dad return!).  Happy holidays all!

In the holidays we could go to your friends house and pick them up and go pokemon hunt. You could make slime that would be fun or even  play outside is fun.

Another way to make your holidays a bit more fun is do anything your parents want and then they will take you anywhere you want to go.

You could clean your room and then go play at your friends house

Or even go to on your ipad and play online games.  Or you could even clean when your parents are at work and do the dishes and everything that needs to be done and then your parent will give you money to you.

When you get the money from your parents you could save it up until you got enough to go rainbows end and go anywhere you like.
