The hours after school matter.
🪩
They're a chance to switch off from the classroom, burn off some energy, and enjoy being a child.
That's exactly the kind of space we're aiming to create at Tem Get Involved.

The first week back at school can be a lot.
Earlier mornings.☕ New routines. 🎒✏️Homework. New classrooms. A completely different pace from the holidays.
This weekend, let everyone reset.
- Sleep in if you can.
- Get outside.
- Play something.
The school year is a marathon, not a Monday morning sprint.

The new school year doesn't have to mean doing everything the same way.
Maybe this is the term to try:
⚽ Football
🏀 Basketball
🏐 Dodgeball
🤸 Gymnastics
🏏 Cricket
Finding the right activity is about finding something that makes kids want to come back. Let's have more activities.

One more weekend before the school bags come out, uniforms are ironed and the alarm clocks return. 😅
So don't rush it.
Forget the packed schedule. Get outside. Have a kick-about. Visit the park. Race each other. Try something silly. Let the kids enjoy those last few days of freedom.
Because the school year’s start will bring routines, homework, and early mornings soon enough.
🫶
For now…
make the most of the last weekend of summer. 💙⚽

🏅A little coaching tip for parents this summer:
If your child is playing a game, resist the temptation to correct every kick, throw, or missed catch.
⚾Just let them play.
⚽Let them figure out the rules.
🏈Let them try the ridiculous idea.
🏀Let them get it wrong.
Not every game needs to become a lesson. Sometimes play should simply be play. 🏌

We've all been there.
Rather than making it a battle, try swapping the question.
♟️Not:
“What can you do instead of your tablet?”
🎯Try:
“What shall we do for 30 minutes?”
☑️A walk.
☑️A race.
☑️ A trip to the park.
☑️A football challenge.
☑️ A bike ride.
Let them choose.
Sometimes children don't need convincing to move. They just need an alternative that's actually more interesting.

I'm Bored....
Two words guaranteed to appear approximately 15 minutes after breakfast during the summer holidays.
Here's an idea!
Create a “bored box.”
👏
Fill it with pieces of paper containing quick challenges:
• Make up a new sport
• Create an obstacle course
• Score 10 goals
• Teach someone a new skill
• Have a family race
• Invent a ball game
• Do 20 jumps
• Build a target and knock it down
When boredom strikes, pick one. No screens required.
And no, “tidy your room” doesn't count. 😉👈

arents, we want the honest version.
Are you:
😂 Loving every minute?
☕ Running entirely on coffee?
🏃 Desperately trying to keep everyone entertained?
🌞 Having the best summer yet?
Or a magnificent combination of all four?
Drop your holiday mood below.
No judgement here. We've all been there.
