Kids off school? Seven activities to wear out the weans
By Elizabeth McQuillanKids are fickle little blighters, and will be looking to the impending school holidays in anticipation of being able to both free-range with their friends and be entertained and amused by mum, dad and grandparents.
Parents failing in this task can look forward to long (and possibly wet) weeks of whining sprogs, accompanied by a house brimming with adoptive feral youngsters from the neighbourhood.
It’s a strange fact – if you’re at home and choose not to “do stuff” with your offspring, expect to find all the local waifs, strays and latchkey kids parked in front of your TV with muddy trainers, eating crisps and spilling juice.
Good ideas can prove elusive when faced with petulant and bored weans, so here are suggestions for seven days’ worth of healthy activities and day trips to get you started:
1 – High-wire act A few hours spent at one of the Go Ape! Tree Top Adventure sites will definitely shut them up. Aside from the odd shriek, expect the kids to be very much focused on their own survival.
Thrill-seeking kids over 10 years old (with the requisite accompanying adult) can enjoy an adrenaline-fuelled high on Britain’s biggest zip wires, stretching over 400 metres long and almost 50 metres above the ground.
After a 30-minute safety briefing/training session, the family gets kitted out with harnesses, pulleys and karabiners before being let loose into the forest canopy. A three-hour adventure across walkways, bridges, cargo nets and tunnels, high in the trees, will leave your kids suitably impressed at your bravery (as an old person) and completely knackered. Perfect really, as they will sleep like babes when you get home, and you can open that bottle of red.
Go Ape! has courses near Aberfoyle, at Beecraigs in West Lothian and at Crathes in Aberdeenshire. Cost? £20–£30 per person.
2 – Get your skates on , there are bound to be some keen members of the family who would love to give it a try. Murrayfield Ice Rink in Edinburgh is a good venue, and remains just as you remember it from your childhood.
For the best family skating, they suggest Saturday morning, or Tuesday and Thursday evenings. For absolute beginners, Sunday afternoons has dedicated group tuition from resident coaches, with time to then go and play on the ice and practice the new skills.
