EASTER ACTIVITY IDEAS

SOME FUN EASTER ACTIVITIES THAT STUDENTS MIGHT WELL ENJOY

During the Easter holidays, we know that people will not want to necessarily focus on school work and academic study. However, we also know that with the current situation, some of you might like a little help or inspiration with things that you could do to keep you occupied.

To try and help with this we have put together a list of ideas for things that you could do, or websites and resources that you could access. We’ve tried to include a mixture of activities, some that use the internet, many that do not; some that are linked to subjects, others that are purely for fun.

Why not have a look, see what you think? It would be great to hear about some of the things you get up to.

Have fun, relax and try to enjoy the couple of weeks off.

A FAMILY RECORD

Each member of the family could write a little paragraph, or draw a little picture, that summarises each day of an Easter which is being effected by the Corona Virus. This could be something to reflect on when it is all over, as well as a good way of getting your thoughts out and discussing how you are feeling.

BOREDOM-BUSTING ACTIVITIES TO DO AT HOME, NOT SPECIFICALLY LINKED TO ANY SUBJECT!
