School holiday activity finder
Looking for a fun activity to try? Use our ideas generator to find the perfect family entertainment when boredom strikes.
Find some fun for your family or just for the kids
Let the generator find the perfect idea for you based on your needs. Make your selections by saying if you need an activity just for kids or the whole family, if you want ideas for indoors or outside and how much time do you have to play with and you'll get some suggestions.
Or choose your own from this handy list:
Take a quick trip to the local library together, there may be activities to join in with or a brand new story to enjoy.
Make a den with cushions and a sheet, or cardboard and pretend to be a burrowing animal like a fox, rabbit, badger or mole. If you’re wanting something more relaxed and snuggly, grab a torch and a book, listen to some of your favourite shows on CBeebies Radio, or watch top celebrities read CBeebies Bedtime Stories on BBC iPlayer.
Take some inspiration from CBeebies favourite Rebecca and Murphi the lovable monster and create amazing DIY crafts and Monster Makes using recycled materials.
If going camping overnight seems too daunting, have a pretend camping adventure in the garden or park. You can set up a tent, have a singalong, do some birdwatching and play lots of outdoor games.
Grab a pair of binoculars and see if you can spot any feathered visitors. Check out our bird spotting guide before you go to learn about the birds you're most likely to see.
Grab some fun outfits and put on a fashion show.
Use the generator for many more fun options to try.
