11 to 15

Get your young teen involved in planning any summer trips or holidays. Help them to think about what you need to pack, how you will travel, things to see etc.

Fly a kite, throw a Frisbee or play with a ball together in the local park.

Encourage your teen to join the summer reading scheme and share books together – read a chapter separately and talk about it together. This can be done outside in the sunshine!

Arrange a sports game at the park such as rounders or football. The whole family can get involved, taking turns and working together as a team!
