18.01.2022 Ready, Set, Prep! Spending time with your child is good for your child’s wellbeing and confidence. When you’re busy, special time with your child can be part of everyday life. But in the school holidays, you might be able to make more time for play, games and other activities. Here are some ideas:... - Make car trips fun by playing ‘I spy’ or ‘spotto’. - Play word games and make up jokes and riddles together. - Try ‘snakes and ladders’, dominoes and simple card games. - Make time to walk or ride to the park together. - On a dark, clear night, go outside and look at the stars.
