Our CBR has rounded up more than 50 ideas to keep kids entertained during the school holidays while the Territory is in lockdown.

The Newsletter said keeping kids entertained could be challenging at the best of times and, with COVID-19 restrictions in place, it was the perfect time for people to think outside the box when it came to family fun.

“Luckily you don’t have to venture further than your own backyard to enjoy a range of boredom-busting activities, from scavenger hunts to virtual parties and even experiencing a tour of Australia from the couch,” Our CBR said.

“Whether your kids are keen adventurers or budding creatives, we’ve rounded up a range of activities bound to please every age,” it said.

Our CBR suggested families marked International Day for Older Persons on 1 October by getting kids to make a card for an elderly neighbour or their grandparents and drop it in their letterbox, “it will make their day!”

The Newsletter’s school holiday recommendations included creative activities; indoor and outdoor activities; virtual tours; connecting with friends and family online; getting active; and learning practical skills in a fun way.

“If you leave home, please take precautions to protect yourself and your family,” it said.

“Wear a mask, maintain good hand hygiene, keep your distance from others, stay within your region and use the Check In CBR app,” Our CBR said.

Our CBR’s full list of school holiday activities can be accessed at this PS News link.
