Hobby and Activity Class
The best thing to do is to enroll your child in a hobby or activity class that he likes. It will help your child learn a lot of new things, develop existing skills and they will keep busy regularly without spending boring afternoons at home or wasting away in front of the idiot box.

Languages
Let your child learn a new language. It is a great time and opportunity to learn a new language that can help them in future and it can be a great add-on to their profile. You can choose from Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Mandarin or Japanese.
Help at Home
Let your kids help at home. Engage them in cleaning the house, making beds, arranging the flowers, mowing the lawn, cleaning the leaves in the garden, folding clothes and running small errands. You can reward them for helping you out. This way they can learn about house-keeping and looking after the house. You can ask them to help you in cooking too. They can even stand and watch what you do. You can allow them to make basic snacks and take help to make sandwiches. There is so much you can do together and have fun while you do it.
A trip
How about a trip together/ You can plan ahead and go to another country or state. Let your kids do their own packing while you supervise. Let them have their own luggage. Make them a part of all the preparations so that they understand what goes into travelling and planning a trip. While you travel let them explore. Tell them about the country’s geography and history. Visit places of significance and even places that may be very unimportant but can show you the true land. Let them eat local food. They can carry a scrap book and record their trips and its important moments. They will come back home with a treasure.
Prepare for the New Year at School
While the vacations are nearing an end start preparing for the next year at school. Get home before time and check the to-do lists. Gear up with all the things required for the new term. Check if all the home work given or any pending assignments are taken care of. With oodles of good memory and new skills let your child have a refreshed beginning to take care of another
grueling year at school.
