You may want to set your children tasks over the school break to ensure they are keeping their brains active. Perhaps you’re a teacher wanting to get to know your new class better or discover what they get up to in the holidays, or maybe you just want them to have some fun. Whatever the reason, we’ve got you covered!
Here are 7 school holiday activities created by the Pobble team, for you to share with your children:
Let your pupils’ imagination run wild! You know the truth, but what do they think you get up to over the holidays? Do you become your superhero alter ego? Do you return to your home planet? Do you spend time with your pet giraffe? This writing resource is lots of fun for you and the kids.

Our picture-perfect postcard is a fun and meaningful activity for over the school break that will also help you to find out a bit more about your new class. It can be posted back to your school address (children love a trip to the post box!) or brought back in the new school term. The children will love filling it in and sharing their adventures! Come September, you have a lesson starter at the ready. Your class can use their postcard to write a recount or description of their holidays.

Too much screen time can have a negative effect on children’s well-being. To help, we’ve rounded up some fun, non-screen activities that can be done at home and support independent learning.

To help you get to know each individual personality in your class, we’ve created an activity sheet for you to download, print and share with your pupils. They are full of simple tasks that can be completed with one or two words and pictures for the younger children or one or two sentences for the older ones allowing you to get a quick overview of each child’s likes, worries, skills and emerging personalities.
