Money Saving Tips – 5 free things to do at home with the children

Cut your summer holiday costs with these things to do for free at home

The school holidays have arrived yet again, but with family day tickets to major attractions costing more than £100, it is prudent to check for alternatives. Here are some handy money saving tips from Payplan to cut the cost of your summer holiday, but still allowing your children to have a fun filled six week break and reducing their boredom at home.

1. Plan a treasure hunt

Make clues and put them in the garden or around the house, so that each clue leads to the next. The final clue would lead to the treasure which could be a home-made treat.

2. Make your own restaurant

First, choose what type of food you want to serve. Then, name the restaurant. Next, design the menu and prepare the decorations. Get cooking and then finally you can sit down to enjoy the meal!

3. Arrange a ‘dress up’ day

Be creative. A box of clothes can provide hours of fun. Use old clothes to make costumes, which can later be used in a home-made theatre production!

4. Have a sports day

Prepare outdoor games, such as the egg and spoon race and present homemade certificates at a prize giving at the end of the activities.

5. Create your own show

Get the children to write and then perform the play using the costumes made during the dress up day. Or make a shadow puppet theatre, where you can use old cereal boxes to make the characters and the stage.
