Fun things to do with your family
Get creative with our fun activities for children of primary school age.
Get closer to nature with our family-friendly outdoor activities and spot signs of spring all around you.
Whether you have access to a countryside walk, a local park or your own garden, there are plenty of ways to make the most of the season from home.
These challenges are designed for children of primary school age to enjoy with parents or carers. We have also released curriculum-linked activities to keep pupils on track with their learning.
You will need:
- Wax crayons or colouring pencils for the creative activities
- A hand magnifier will be useful for the activities but not essential
- For ’Inspector Moss’ you will need a compass
Stay safe
- You'll need an adult with you for some of these activities
- Remember to wash your hands for 20 seconds as soon as you get home and before you start any new activity
- Try to do as many of this from your own home or private garden. If you go outside, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times
