Planning the best summer holiday workshop for your child! 💡
Start planning your child’s summer holiday adventures early.
Planning your child’s School Holiday Activities now can give them something to look forward to after Christmas and New Year celebrations are over. Most organisations that hold summer holiday workshops have bookings open well in advance starting a month or two before summer starts. Choosing a place for your child early will ensure they get a place as holiday workshops are very popular.
Timing of the workshop counts.
A summer holiday workshop doesn’t need to just go for an hour or two. Sure, a small workshop can be just what you need if you have plans with the kids that day, but full-day and two-day holiday workshops can be a great opportunity to get some quality learning that will set the children ahead in the new year. Full-Day workshops provide flexibility for the parents as well, should they like a childcare option over the break.
Ask yourself will my kids learn from this workshop?
When choosing a summer holiday workshop for your kids, it’s important you think about what your kids can learn from the workshop. For example, BRICKS 4 KIDZ® summer holiday workshops instruct kids about many educational topics including space, engineering, architecture with cool themes like mining and crafting and amusement parks.
Choose an summer holiday activity that interests your child.
Seeing what interests your child and seeking out a summer holiday workshop that builds upon their interest or that provides learning opportunity is key. Our holiday workshops combine fun themes and LEGO® Bricks along with specialised LEGO® Technic pieces like gears, electric motors, axles to build unique models to teach real-world STEAM concepts while they are busy playing!
Choose a provider who has a great reputation!
Another consideration when selecting a summer holiday activity is how reputable the organisation hosting the workshop is. It’s important that you choose an organisation that has experience in educational programs for the kids. BRICKS 4 KIDZ® has been enriching children’s lives across the world for over 14 years now!
Make sure the teacher is experienced in child education. Plus choose an age-appropriate activity.
Our experienced teachers are all screened to provide friendly, qualified guidance for your children. It’s important that you choose a summer holiday workshop where the teacher to child ratios are good. Also, choose a workshop that is suited to your child’s age group, most organisations provide an age guide to let you know if a specific workshop is suitable as some workshops suit older or younger kids.
Your holiday activity should be well planned with variety.
It is a clever idea to see if the summer holiday workshop has a lesson plan on how they will conduct the workshop. While free play is good for some of the time, kids love finding new activities and tasks so variety will help keep their attention high. Does the workshop rotate between activities? Will they move onto another activity after an allocated time? Is there creative play time too? A good amount of structured play with some free creative play is best for your child.
The workshop should be Unbelievably FUN!
Most importantly though a summer holiday workshop should be very enjoyable! A summer workshop that is all learning might be a bit too like school for your little one, your child is on holiday, so we really want to bring them some holiday spirit. A good balance between education and summer holiday excitement will be just the ticket to making sure your child will be happy and bright!
