School holidays are the perfect opportunity for children to take a break from screens and enjoy new experiences. While tablets, TVs and gaming can have their place, balancing screen time with active, creative and social activities can help children make the most of their time off.

Here are some simple ways to reduce children's screen time while keeping them entertained all holiday long.

How Much Screen Time Is Too Much During the Holidays?

Every family is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Rather than focusing on strict time limits, aim for a healthy balance between screen use and other activities.

Encouraging children to spend time being active, creative and social can naturally reduce the amount of time they spend on devices.

Screen-Free Activities Children Actually Enjoy

The best way to reduce screen time is to replace it with activities children genuinely want to do.

Some great screen-free school holiday activities include:

• Arts and crafts
• Treasure and scavenger hunts
• Sports and team games
• Building challenges
• Nature walks
• Obstacle courses
• Reading together
• Water play on sunny days

Giving children plenty of variety keeps every day exciting.

Why Outdoor Play Is Important

Outdoor play helps children stay active, build confidence and develop important social skills. Whether they're climbing, running, exploring or working as a team, being outside supports both physical and mental wellbeing.

It's also a fantastic way for children to burn off energy while creating lasting memories with friends.
