Summer holiday activities for teens to keep them busy over the summer! As a teacher you can give this pack to your students / tutor group at end of the year for them to complete over summer and bring back next school year. This makes a good starting point for back to school discussions. This is also great if you are a parent /carer who is looking to keep your own children entertained with fun and educational activities while at home! When traveling or over the holidays, young people will undoubtedly be glued to technology. That’s fine for a while, but it is healthy to give them a variety of activities to be doing whilst reflecting on their experiences, hence the reason I created this resource. The activities in this pack are simple and fun to work through, require no preparation from you and will entertain them when traveling and over the holiday period (be that a vacation or even a stay-cation!) They’re versatile enough for any experiences! Product includes: • Vacation plans • Diary / poetry / story writing • Sites to see • Road trip Bingo • Airport Bingo • People Bingo • Build your own Bingo Boards • Gift ideas • Photo diary • Vacation word search • Book reviews • Noughts and Crosses • Hang man • Notes pages You can print these off and even put them in a special binder so your young ones can complete them when they like. There are plenty to choose from and I think the option of choice is important in making sure they enjoy doing these! The pages have been designed to be all black and white so they can be coloured in – an extra fun and relaxing element, plus it allows them to personalise their booklet! Finally, this makes a great keepsake for the future to remind your young ones of their summer holidays! So get them off their technology for a while and encourage them to really observe and reflect on their experiences with this quality resource!

Do you want to educate your students about the dangers of Cyber Bullying? It is a rising problem among teenagers and young people in this age of social media, so this resource will offer your students the opportunity to consider the dangers and effects of cyber bullying by encouraging them to discuss and reflect on realistic scenarios. I have used this resource on different groups of students from year 7-10 and it has proven effective for all ages. It’s interesting that each age group has brought out its own conversations from this resource. I find it shocking how many young people (especially those below the required age of 13 to even have a social media account) are suffering from cyber bullying online and don’t yet have the skills to handle it. This resource has made a significant difference to my students and I can only hope they go on to spread the word to others! I hope that my resources save you hours and hours of time: something we always sacrifice so much of as teachers. ❤
