If you struggle to keep your kids entertained during the summer holidays, here are some activities they can enjoy at home.
Board games
Stock up on their favorite board games. A must have is “Bank El-Hazz,” the Arabic edition of monopoly. It is a game that consumes a lot of time so it will keep them busy for longer — and isn’t that every parent’s dream?Beach day
A day by the beach is always a child’s favorite. Saudi Arabia’s Farasan Island offers exciting boat rides, water sports and diving experiences for a day trip that’s a little different.Arts and crafts
Whether it’s painting, stitching a dress for dolls or creating objects with play-dough, it’s time to let your children’s creativity run wild.Baking
Get your children to help you bake fun-shaped cookies, colorful cupcakes or sprinkled donuts during their summer break.Summer camps
There are a multitude of summer camps for your children to enjoy this summer. Kids in Jeddah can opt for FasTrackids, while Bounce offers a summer-long schedule in Jeddah and Riyadh.Reading
Not all children enjoy reading, so make it fun and act out the stories. The Arabic book “Kalila wa Dimna” has a collection of fables that your child can perform to add a little drama to staying at home.
