I find going out for a walk much less hassle than watching a film. Not all children will watch even if you spend some time choosing one perfectly suited for an age group/ individuals.
Whereas all children enjoy a walk if you stimulate them- lots to look at with early spring flowers and buds on bushes and trees, even urban walking say to a local shop has gardens to pass, street furniture to find, road safety talks, vehicles to look at, numbers and letters to find in the environment, shapes on the path to spot ........plus they get tired.

My lot sometimes ask for a film after school, usually a Thursday when they're all fading towards the end of the week! :laughing:

Anyway, their favourites at the moment are Mr Peabody & Shermen, Home, Flubber and of course Frozen. We've also been working our way through the Tinkerbell series.

It helps that I have Sky Movies so can pretty much get any movie on demand :thumbsup:
