The coming days and weeks are going to be difficult for families across the UK. As experts in developing skills and bringing adventure to young people, The Great Indoors want to do what they can to help.
While they normally love the great outdoors, they have pulled together some inspired indoor activity ideas, to keep your kids learning new skills and having fun (and avoid hearing ‘I’m bored’ every 30 seconds)

These activities were originally designed for groups meeting face-to-face, so you may have to think on your feet to make them work in the (very unique) situation we’re in. Anyone can be the person leading the game or activity, so why not let young people take charge? Instead of chatting in a real-life group, you could use the internet (safely) or talk to someone at home.
