As winter approaches in Cape Town, parents are looking for ways to keep their children engaged and entertained during the school holidays. Fortunately, the city’s libraries and recreational facilities have prepared an exciting lineup of activities that aim to keep young minds active and entertained.
The city’s libraries have curated a range of activities for the winter school holidays. In addition to traditional options like board games, arts and crafts, and movies, they have also introduced innovative opportunities such as interactive science experiments and captivating knitting classes. These unique offerings cater to a wide range of interests and age groups.
Not to be outdone, the Recreation and Parks Department has put together an impressive lineup of events for the school holidays. Their diverse offerings include both indoor and outdoor indigenous games, exhilarating sports tournaments, and informative awareness programs. The department’s dedication to providing a well-rounded and enjoyable experience for all participants is evident in the extensive array of activities available.
According to Patricia van der Ross, the City’s Mayco member for community service and health, keeping young ones constructively occupied during this time is crucial. She emphasizes that the hundreds of programs planned for the next few weeks will not only help children stave off boredom and gain confidence but also help them keep the forward momentum for when they return to school.
In celebration of Youth Month, the city’s libraries have even instituted a Fine Free Week for young people under the age of 17 from June 26 to July 1. During this time, overdue items may be returned without incurring any fines, clearing the slate for young readers to explore new literary adventures.
Councillor Van der Ross encourages parents to take advantage of the plethora of available activities to keep their children meaningfully engaged during the holiday break.
