Parents looking for value for money activities for their children to take part in have been advised that little ones can benefit from keeping fit.
New research has shown exercise can help children who are overweight to boost their maths skills.
The study also found that children who are used to a sedentary lifestyle can increase their planning and thinking abilities by exercising.
"We know that exercise is good for you, but we didn't have very good evidence [before this] that it would help children do better in school," Catherine Davis, a clinical health psychologist at the Georgia Prevention Institute at Georgia Health Sciences University, told Health Psychology.
In addition, Ms Davis said that children of a normal weight were also likely to be helped by holiday activities such as exercise.
Furthermore, parents have been told by the Tehran Times that they can incorporate maths into several fun tasks for their children, such as baking.
