Keeping your kids entertained during school breaks can be a handful. It’s getting cold out, so outdoor activities are usually out of the question (unless it’s a snow day which is an exception to the rule). You could just let them watch TV and play Fortnite, which usually works, but you also want them to burn off more of that almost infinite energy children seem to possess, so you’re looking at something a little more engaging, but also something they will love. Here are a few clubs your kids could join in the break to keep them busy:

Holiday Clubs

Holiday clubs are one of the best ways to keep your kids excited and busy during the break. They usually last around the same amount of time that a school day would, and they’re great for having your children having time to interact with other people their age. Finding things to do with your kids around the house can be tough, especially if they’re alone or have a significant age gap between their siblings, so these clubs are a great way for them to engage with like minded youths. As they’re usually a day affair, it also leaves you with enough time to work, maybe do a bit of DIY that may have been tricky with the kids running around, or finally go on that spa day you’ve talked about. 

Gymnastics or Dance Classes

Gymnastics for kids is a fantastic activity. It’s not only fun, but keeps your kids limber and in shape. Dance is another exciting activity. Both are suitable for children of all ages, and also help build cognitive skills. Both require a degree of both analytical, and creative thinking to perform skills that require coordination like the two, so it’s a great way to keep the brain working too. They’re also known to develop self confidence, and teamwork skills as they’ll likely be part of a group. 

Try their hand (Or legs) at a Martial Arts Group

Having your children try a form of martial arts is another brilliant activity. Children tend to learn fast and typically enjoy the feeling of achievement, and also is a great way to stimulate the competitive streak in them. It gives them a sense of pride and confidence, and there are fewer things that a parent enjoys than seeing their child beam with pride at what they’ve accomplished. Martial arts have also been known to be a great way to employ discipline and keep your kids level headed.

Learn To Play An Instrument

Learning an instrument can have absolutely amazing effects for your children. It allows them to be creative, can introduce them to new genres and cultures they may not have been exposed to before, and increase their memory and coordination skills, as both are required to play an instrument. It’s another activity that can boost their confidence, and can teach them the power of patience. They’ll come to learn that practice does indeed make perfect, and may end up appreciating the benefits of dedication and hard work.
