Games to play on devices
It’s your first day at school!
This is a great game to play with your child particularly if they are starting school after the summer holidays. Help your child create his/her character and pick a school jumper, then explore the school and find all the different activities to play.

Dinosaur discovery
While you are playing this game you will be ‘working scientifically’ – that means thinking like a scientist! You will make predictions, use scientific equipment and perform experiments to find the answers to lots of questions about dinosaurs.

For those moments when it’s all too much
For those moments when thing are getting too much for your child Save the Children have published some easy activities that you could use to help calm the down. Doing these along with your child can be beneficial for everyone. Here is the link to these activities:
Activities
Cloud pictures
When playing in the garden or out on a walk, take some time to stop and look at the clouds. Ask your little ones what they can see and remember to bring your imagination along and who knows what they might see in the clouds. Can they see shapes? Can they see an animal? This activity is also very good for taking a little breather the busyness of the day and just focus on the quiet and calm.
Family Pictures
A nice activity for all the family to be involved in is making a family hand print pictures. You can do this using either paint or different coloured paper. Starting with the person with the largest hand first place their hand on a blank piece of paper first working through the family from largest to smallest. You can also use this opportunity to have a discussion about largest and smallest using the language of pre-measure. This would make a nice picture to frame and keep or gift to a family member.
You could also do this activity using your feet!!!
