RL Tips: Sembreak Activities for the Kids

Keep your kids away from the TV with these fun homebound ideas

by Arlene Sanchez Maslog Oct 26, 2014

If you are a parent (or babysitting aunt or kind cousin), you are probably wondering how to make the most of your kids' semestral break. But don’t be tempted to take them on an expensive out-of-town trip you can’t afford, or worse, lug them to the nearest mall!

You don’t need to look far and wide to keep them busy. Your own home can be an exciting, fun place that can entertain them, and teach them important things in life—plus help you with some household chores as well.
