Kids activity sheets
We’ve created a bunch of fun activity sheets for kids, from colouring in and wordsearches, to facts about fatbergs. We’ve got all the core school subjects covered too!
Ready to get started? Just pick an activity sheet, print it and start having fun. We’ll be uploading new activities at the beginning of each week! Don’t worry if you don’t have a printer though, you can just write the answers on some on paper whilst you view the questions on your screen
Kids - most of the activities you can do on your own but there are some where you’ll need an adult to help you, so be sure to read the description.
