It can be hard to get your children off the couch over the summer break – and to keep boredom at bay with all the extra spare time to fill.
With foreign jaunts still largely off the cards, and coronavirus restrictions still limiting holiday activities, it’s important to find ways to keep youngsters active.
Luckily in Fife there are plenty of sporty choices – many of which are relatively inexpensive, or even free, to choose from.
Here are 10 active ideas for your children to enjoy this summer.
