Christmas is coming up, and that also means Christmas break. While christmas break is supposed to be a nice change to relax with friends and family, people with children will tell you that is not always the case. It can quickly become some very long days if you have multiple children and do not have any fun activities planned. Therefore, it is always a good idea to plan ahead. Now, you are maybe wondering what could be some good activities to do? We have made a guide with free fun activities to do in the christmas break with your children. 

Visit a museum
You may be thinking that visiting a museum is a terrible idea if you have children, and they will just end up being bored and impossible all day. But that does not have to happen. You just need to choose the right museum that is also going to be fun and interesting for children. A good museum to visit with your children is Energimuseet, because they have designed the museum so it is especially fun for children. As an example they have made it easy to understand for children and they have made special activities aimed at children. Therefore, you are guaranteed a fun trip if you go there. Another plus with a museum’s trip is that it is going to be indoors and the weather is not always nice this time of the year. 

A day outside
If the weather does decide to be nice one day, then a day in the forest is a great activity for children and parents. It does not have to be anywhere fancy, it can just be a trip to the nearest forest or beach. It is always lovely to take a walk in nature this time of the year. If it happens to be snowing then a great idea would be to take a snow day, where the children can have fun in the snow. 

A movie day
Sometimes the weather is just terrible for a whole week, and nobody wants to be outside, when the weather is terrible. However, that does not mean that you can not do any fun activities inside. A great activity is to have a movie day. Then the whole family can choose a movie, and you can all spend a day watching movies and eating snacks. This is guaranteed to be a great day, and children love it.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
