Keep them happy, playful

Children need to be kept busy during school holidays. During these breaks they have great deal of energy to burn and a lot of spare time.

Children need to be kept busy during school holidays. During these breaks they have great deal of energy to burn and a lot of spare time.

I'm sure there are a many of energetic children out there driving their parents up the wall. What to do?

Here's a quick list:

l Get them to help you in the kitchen. I get my daughter to wash the plates, bowl and utensils as I cook.

l Give them board or other games to play.

l Teach them some card games.

l Let them play bubbles or

computer games.

l You could go to the movies.

l Go to the park or play badminton in front of your gate.

l You could read books from Mama's Bag of Tricks.
