we have a trampoline, swing and swingball set in the garden, but when we can, we have a walk/cycle track that goes through our village and they either come from walks or take their bikes with us

Before the summer holidays begin myself and my daughters create a jar in which we place colour coded paper in with ideas - they get to fill this jar throughout the term before when their behaviour is good or they have good school reports or achievements

Green - Free things (park, walks, beach, arts and craft)

Yellow - Small cost (Lunch, town, swimming)

Pink - Luxurious days out - there isn't as many of these (Theme park, zoo, train trips)

This keeps the children busy and on their toes! the excitement of choosing something out of the jar and knowing that even if they get to raid the art supplies for the morning keeps them busy and out of micheif (sometimes)

This also keeps me busy and motivated as the night before when a ticket is chosen I can plan the following day (routes in the car, money that is needed)

We just try to make lots of plans, along with lists of what they each would like to do during the holidays, then try to do as many of them as we can.

We often do the 10 Minute Shake Ups from Change4Life because I find they are short enough to engage the kids and they enjoy doing them too. Also we like to walk the dog on the beach and in the woods nearby (which always means running through the muddy patches in wellies!). They also enjoy the sports games on wi fit such as tennis. I think the best thing is to shake it up a bit and keep it fun for them so that they don't lose interest.

Got a list of all the local parks in my area and explored each one. Amazing how many in the city X

My kids get up early so I have them help me clean the house then we go out to walk the dogs everyday throughout the school holidays to keep them busy and active we are an active family anyway were always walking, running,cycling we play games that involve them doing a lot of running and walking

well if its a rainy day we do colouring and board games such as jenga but if its sunny we go out and about and find an adventure !!! :)

I find a good way to keep them active is to time them when they clean their rooms and then if they can keep doing it quicker then they get a reward.

We're surrounded by really great places to go an explore outdoors so I've always packed a picnic and enough drinks and snacks for the day and we've gone on 'an adventure'. We'd take picnic blankets, sometimes a hammock or a rope swing to hang up, we'd go padding in rivers looking for treasure! I think its sometimes hard to battle the lack of enthusiasm, but I like being outdoors and it is the right thing to be doing so tough!

Olivia is always active even when we don't take her out. She loves visiting GG & Grandpa & playing in their garden where I have made a little fairy garden for her. They have lots of garden ornaments & she loves to pretend to shampoo & shower the dog & sheep ornaments. She's only 3 but she has a very mischievous side to her as her Daddy was sunbathing the other day when she wanted him to play so she filled up her bucket of water & poured it over him, it was a real You've Been Framed moment :)

I live by the woods and we take the dog and make up stories in the woods about trees that talk, dragons dens, imagining you can change into different animals each time you visit the woods so you can climb trees, hop, etc. We spend hours in the woods, we also take pictures and samples of different wild plants, trees, animals and birds and google them when we get home, draw pictures and learn about them.

Gardening and treasure hunting. Sometimes we go for long walk as well to collect wild flowers to decorate their rooms.
We do camping in our back garden and I encourage them to do stargazing as well.

using the car as little as possible, and making sure we cycle/walk everywhere. and lots of picnics in the forest or at beach

My son loves to go on his bike so we make sure that at least once a day we go out on his bike, this good for me too as I get to walk the dog at the same time.

I take them swimming. Super fun and the local outdoor pool is very cheap as well. There is a water slide too and my daughter loves it.

We have the beach and the South Downs nearby - and the dog always needs walking too!

My husband and I only have one car between us which he takes to work. Although it can be a pain in some respects, it's actually a really good thing when it comes to ensuring that the kids and I stay active! We have to walk or get public transport everywhere, which not only is good exercise but gives us lots of talking points and really stimulates my daughters. So my tip would be to leave the car at home :)

Just thought I would share what has kept my kids entertained this week...

They've both got remote controller cars and have been taking it in turns to race down the drive, one on a bike or scooter and one with the car.

They've turned the drive into a race track with chalk and cones and have been having a brilliant time. I am trying not to wince and hoping no knees and elbows will be skinned!

Beach. Its free and they love it!!

We always pack a picnic and head into the park armed with a ball, racket, bowls etc - and have a mini holiday!

making cornflake buns, handprint painting, jam sandwich making, instant whip making and rides on the bus the the local pets at home - (that is just day 1 of the holiday), I have lots of endless activities to keep them busy for the rest of the summer.

We walk from one park to another so as to burn off excess energy - so as to play on the swings and slides in one, and visit the animals in another.

Geocaching is our favourite. They love the challenge of finding the cache and they never know what will be in the cache. We take small things to put in the cache for the next person.

Take them outdoors as much as possible, I invite their friends over and they play outside on their bikes, scooters, play basketball, hide and seek, trampolining!

We just get out as much as possible.
We love bike rides and days out. A walk to the woods with a picnic in a rucksack.
We'll go on day trips.
We ll meet friends in the park and take tennis rackets, balls and a football.
If we need to pop to the shops or go to the library, we often walk.
When the kids deserve a treat, I'll offer them bowling or ice skating which they love.
At home, we play in the garden. We have swingball, kick a football around, water guns for a water fight. They're quite happy being chucked out in the garden.
If the weather is rubbish, we play a dancing game on the Xbox or copy YouTube Just Dance clips or have our own disco. We'll put Wellies on and go for a walk.
