🌞 Things to Do in the School Holidays (That Don’t Cost a Fortune!)

The school holidays are a brilliant time to relax, reset and spend time doing things you enjoy—but sometimes, it can be hard to know what to do with all that free time. If you’re stuck for ideas, here are some fun, low-cost activities to keep you entertained and active.

 

Catch up with friends

Spend time with people you haven’t seen for a while. A chat, a walk, or a kickabout in the park can help you feel more connected.

 

Get creative

Drawing, baking or keeping a journal are all brilliant ways to express yourself. You could even learn magic tricks or have a go at writing your own short story.

 

Learn something new

Use online videos or library books to explore a new language, dance step, or science experiment. You might discover a new passion.

 

Visit your local library
Libraries are free and often run special holiday activities. You can borrow books, try a quiz, or just enjoy some quiet time.

 

Go outdoors

Try a nature walk, a local football game, or even a picnic in your garden. You could build a den or organise a mini treasure hunt for friends or family.

 

Take on a project

Make a time capsule or create a photo story. These can be fun ways to capture your memories—and look back on them in years to come.

 

At Compass, our learners work incredibly hard throughout the term. The school holidays should be seen as a chance to recharge your batteries, look after your wellbeing and enjoy yourself. However you spend the break, we hope it’s packed with rest, fun and fresh air.
