Keeping one child entertained is hard enough. But when you have more than one child to keep busy it can feel even harder. Even getting them all out the door can be a struggle. If you’re lucky enough to have a garden, send the kids out there as often as you can to burn off some energy! Otherwise, you could head to a local park or green space and play some running around games. Here are some ideas – you may recognise a few traditional favourites! You could even look on this as a fun opportunity to introduce the kids to the games you played when you were young.
