Tips to Keep Your Child Busy in Their Summer Vacations 

Luckily, Swapna Nair tells us some fun ways to keep your children engaged during the summer holidays:

1. Weekly/monthly planner: Use chart paper and either jointly make a timetable or get your kids to make a colorful timetable for the holidays. Ask them to mark out the activities they’d like to do; guide them and add to their list
2. Board games: Teach your children how to make their own board games. For example, you can cut out squares from the newspaper and create Snakes & Ladders or Scrabble. If the squares are big enough, children can hop on to the squares and move up and down themselves!
3. Pajama Party: This can be organized within the family or with friends, once or twice during the holidays. Start in the evening and make sure you always have a fun theme, like ‘recycling’ or ‘star gazing’— it’s always fun to have a midnight snack party beneath
