I think it’s fair to say that most of us would like our kids to spend more time outdoors but sometimes it can be hard to think of ideas other than telling them to just go out and play! I know that sometimes my kids need that extra bit of persuasion to get in the garden so these easy outdoor activities for kid are perfect if you need a bit of inspiration for the day….
Kids Activities
Houseparty Scavenger Hunt (FREE Printable for Kids)
Staying at home can be a bit lonely for everyone and it’s great for kids to be able to still have fun with their friends. My kids have really enjoyed seeing their friends using Houseparty and this Houseparty scavenger hunt is a great way for them to have fun online together and keep active.
Of course if you’re not stuck indoors then this printable is just a great way to keep in touch with people, our family don’t live locally so activities like this are something that we like to help stay connected with people we can’t visit easily. We also have lots of scavenger hunt ideas that we use on our own or as an excuse to get the kids outside too!

10 Fun Games Kids Can Play on Zoom, Skype or Facetime
Being at home can be hard on kids who are used to socialising every day with their friends at school or with their wider family members so where we can we’ve tried to make sure that our kids can see their friends and family online. It’s great to find some games kids can play on zoom (or Skype, Facetime or Houseparty, whatever works for you) as having a conversation with someone online that you can’t actually physically play with can be a little awkward. Also our usual ‘what have you guys been up to’ isn’t really cutting the mustard these days. We’ve been at home, everyone’s been at home. With that in mind I thought I’d share our favourite games that kids can play online with each other or with family members such as Grandparents.

Zoom Scavenger Hunt for Kids (FREE Printable)
As we don’t live near any of our family we’ve kept in contact via Skype or Whatsapp for quite a while but over the last couple of weeks we’ve been trying out different platforms and right now Zoom is our favourite. I wanted a game that my kids could play with their cousins online and a zoom scavenger hunt for kids seemed like the perfect idea.
If you need some more ideas to keep your kids busy then we’ve shared some more of our scavenger hunt ideas too, perfect for keeping kids entertained indoors and outside.

We’ve got lots of scavenger hunt ideas for kids but I have to admit that this one is one of my favourite printables that we’ve shared, it’s just such an easy way to keep the kids occupied hopefully while you get to grab a cup or tea.
