The summer holidays are here — and with them, the daily challenge every parent knows too well:
“What can we do today?”
At Work Rest or Play, we’re here to make things a little easier (and a lot more fun!) with the launch of our brand new School Holiday Bingo.
Each day throughout the summer, we’ll be sharing simple, fun, and affordable activity ideas to keep the kids busy, curious, and creative — whether you’re at home, in the garden, or out exploring locally.
Most of our suggestions are low-cost or free, require little to no prep, and are designed to encourage screen-free play, imagination, and conversation. You might find yourself building a den, spotting wildlife, drawing your dream house, or discovering something new in your own community.
Get Involved
We’d love to see how you get on!
If you try any of the activities, feel free to tag us in your photos or posts on social media @WorkRestorPlay – or just drop us a message to let us know what your kids enjoyed most.
If you’re out and about in Huddersfield, Wakefield, Barnsley, or Leeds, don’t forget to mention Work Rest or Play in your local cafés, visitor attractions, parks or community spaces. We’re proud to be helping brilliant local places and events get found more easily online — and we love hearing about your discoveries!
Spread the Word
Know someone who’d love what we do?
We’ve got a Refer-a-Friend scheme where you can be rewarded for successful introductions to our platform — perfect for businesses, venues, or community groups who want to grow their visibility locally.
Let’s make this a summer of creativity, community and connection.
