The summer is long, and sometimes the summer school holidays can be too, making the kids restless and bored, and leaving you at your wits end. After the guaranteed fun of Christmas and New Years, things can grind to a halt and when school resumes it is often with a jolt.
Keeping the young ones' minds and bodies fit is essential during the long school breaks, maintaining peaked levels of engagement and activity, and helping make the transition back to school smoother. That's why we’ve compiled plenty of events and entertainment to occupy young minds and limbs over the remaining weeks of the summer holidays, from water to land, the kitchen to the library, from reading and running to drama and the creative arts, for kids of all ages - zero to 18.
Let them learn to surf the seas, play the didjeridu, how to grow a sustainable garden, about different kinds of cuisine, and discover fascinating figures from history.
Get them to create with art lessons that use recyclables, workshop the best way to bind their latest literary masterpiece, or write and act out a thrilling play.
We’ve even tried to ease your downtime with the kids, providing you with a bunch of outdoor, under the stars movies for all the family - check out our Summer Cinema guide for screenings near you. All you need to do is grab the blanket, pack a picnic and get ready for fun.
If you’re in the business of helping kids learn, create, think, do and grow, don’t hesitate to add your own event by going to pro.eventfinda.com.au and we’ll make sure it gets to the Summer Kids page. Happy holidays!
