Join in the fun and take our 30-Day Kids At Home Activity Challenge! You can start it any time you like and use our 30 daily activities as inspiration for lots more family memories.
We wanted to put together something simple and fun for families — a little activity challenge for kids that you can dip into whenever you need a few ideas. There’s a fun activity for your child to do each day (including a few special treats they’re sure to enjoy!) that you can adapt to suit the ages of your children. Use these activities as inspiration for more games and family fun — and don’t forget to tag us with your daily pics using the hashtag #mktkidsathome.
Enjoy the challenge!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to start the challenge on Day 1 of the month?
Not at all. You can start whenever suits your family and work through the days in any order — it’s designed to be flexible.
What ages is the challenge suitable for?
Most activities can be adapted for a wide age range. Younger children may need a bit more help with things like writing letters or tying shoelaces, while older kids can take on activities more independently.
Do we need to do one activity every day without a break?
No — go at your own pace. Skip a day, repeat a favourite, or spread the 30 activities over as long as you like.
Can we do the activities in a different order?
Yes, feel free to mix them up to suit what you have planned, the weather, or what your kids are in the mood for.
