Try holiday activities with kids

As half-term comes to a close parents will undoubtedly be finding it increasingly hard to come up with holiday activities to keep their kids entertained.
Luckily, the Woodburn Independent has provided a few helpful suggestions on games that the family can keep themselves occupied with before school begins again.
The news source said that those looking to try new activities may wish to experiment with a word scrambler. A parent just needs a paper and pen to write a short sentence and kids can then compete to make the longest word from letters in this sentence.
For example, the news source said that the phrase "brush your teeth" could be made into "rush", "beet" or "shout".
Kids can also increase their mathematical skills in a ring toss where they are given hoops to throw on the legs of an upturned stool, each of which has a points value that they can add up.
Furthermore, the Daily Mail suggested that kids can be kept occupied if they are tasked with making a snow dome using a plastic decoration, glass jar, glitter and some glycerine.
