(HAF) Holiday Play Activities - Welland
Family Action
A summary
We have a large outside area where we like to play group games of rounders, football, table tennis, tag and lots more activities like den building, gardening and outdoor cooking.
Following the children’s lead we set up creative activities such as scratch art, reflective pattern prints, tee shirt printing and collaging. During specific holiday periods we offer a range of themed activities such as sports, art, nature and beach/ sea weeks. During Summer this year there will be lots of outings to local communities and projects and the children have requested lots of arts and crafts activities. As always we will be linking up with local businesses and using the wonderful local environment to build on the children's physical skills and understanding the world. We will be delving into spring and how things grow.
The children are included in food preparation each day- this can be preparing the salad or making puddings such as fruit salads, baking biscuits, making homemade lemonade or crumbles using the fruit that they pick in our garden. During the colder weather we aim to offer a hot meal each day.
There are lots of books and board games available throughout the day, with Uno and chess being the favourites- as the children always win against the staff!
We have talent shows, obstacle courses, homework club and the children requested a book club and home work support.
As we are surrounded by such a luscious local environment, the children are encouraged to go on daily walks, climbing trees, doing scavenger hunts or playing at the park- we feel this is a huge benefit to not only their physical development but it also has a positive impact on their mental health and social skills.
Wherever possible we try to accommodate all of the children's suggestions for activities, they are always encouraged to offer their ideas and we try to have one day a week which is planned by the children.
The children are also encouraged to contribute to the local community by engaging in activities such as helping at the food club, litter picking, making cards and taking them out to local care homes.
The children get to try out lots of new activities, make new friends and meet up with old friends in a safe , fun and friendly environment.

Family Action
Family Action
Family Action is an award-winning national charity working from the heart of local communities across England and Wales. We’ve been supporting people through change, challenge and crisis for over 150 years. We believe family is the key to positive futures, for individuals and communities. We believe there’s no right way to be a family, it’s relationships that matter. We know first-hand that our early experiences of family stay with us, for better or worse. That’s why, whatever’s going on in your family, we’re here for you. From baby bumps to bumps in the road, we’re here for every age and stage of life. Putting food on the table with our FOOD Club and National School Breakfast programmes, giving new families the best start through perinatal, parenting and post-adoption support, finding lost confidence through our wellbeing and counselling services. Wherever we’re needed, our Family Action support workers get right alongside people: protecting children, supporting young people and offering direct, practical help to families. Our national, free FamilyLine is open to anyone feeling overwhelmed with any family-related issue. We all have our own family stories. Some are tougher than others. But the story of today doesn’t have to be the story of tomorrow, for any of us. Family is a doing word. Together, we change lives.
