065 - Fishing / see sights / historic castle / compass building / magnifying glass
Finally, the weekend is upon us, it's Saturday, which means we can relax a little. The Daily Kids has put together some chilled Saturday activities to keep the kids occupied. Here are today's tips.
-
Take the kids fishing, many lakes and rivers require permits and provide equipment, but many don't. Check with your local council with a quick google search. The Fatherly has a great article with a list of equipment and instructions for beginners.
-
Venture off into a village or town you haven't been to before, see the sights and have lunch in a local pub. Or better yet, if the Great British weather behaves, go to a beer garden.
-
The national trust has many old and historic castles and buildings to explore and adventure off in. Take the kids to a historical site and have a nice day out while learning about history. See a full list here.
-
Build a compass with the kids and take them orienteering with their own compass and maps. BBC Bitesize has a full list of instructions on how to build a compass.
-
Build a DIY magnifying glass to let the kids explore all of the wonderful creepy crawlies they have in their own back garden. Greenkidcrafts has a full how-to tutorial on making magnifiers.
