TheSix Summer fun

If you struggle to keep your kids entertained during the summer holidays, here are some activities they

can enjoy at home.

Board games

Stock up on their favorite board games. A must have is “Bank El-Hazz,” the Arabic

edition of monopoly. It is a game that consumes a lot of time so it will keep them busy for longer — and isn’t that

every parent’s dream?

Beach day

A day by the beach is always a

child’s favorite. Saudi Arabia’s Farasan Island offers exciting boat rides, water sports and diving experiences for a day trip

that’s a little different.

Arts and crafts

Whether it’s painting, stitching

a dress for dolls or creating objects with play-dough, it’s time to let your children’s

creativity run wild.

Baking

Get your children to help you bake fun-shaped cookies, colorful cupcakes or sprinkled donuts

during their summer break.

Summer camps

There are a multitude of summer camps for your children to enjoy

this summer. Kids in Jeddah can opt for FasTrackids, while Bounce offers a summer-long schedule in

Jeddah and Riyadh.

Reading

Not all children enjoy reading, so make it fun and act out the stories.

The Arabic book “Kalila wa Dimna” has a collection of fables that your child can perform to add

a little drama to staying at home.
