Explore the great outdoors – even if it is just the local park
Taking your kids to a park is one of the easiest things you can do and not only is it free, there are plenty of things to do there to keep your kids entertained. You can rent bikes, go on a horse ride, play sport and even have a picnic.
Get their creative juices flowing with some culture
Again, lots of museums are free entry and are fun and educational for the whole family. There are many activities you can do with your children when you are there, for example if you are at an art gallery why not get the kids to have a go at a masterpiece themselves.
Turn your little swimmers into champions
Get your children into the spirit of the Olympics by challenging them to a swimming competition. Not only is this great exercise for the kids but splashing around is fun for parents too.
Award gold medals with your own Olympic bakeoff
Why not bake cakes for any Olympic parties you might be having? Turn the baking into a competition and award gold medals to the most outstanding effort.
