Fly Thomas Cook

With summer on the way parents around the county will be planning how they will be planning their summer holidays and hopefully some of you may even get the chance to get away some where nice. Thomas Cook have been working hard on helping you to get your children prepared for a holiday in the sun with their new fantastic holiday and have designed a site especially.

Fly Thomas Cook Kids Club offers a selection of games, advice and other tools to prepare children for their holiday and to keep them occupied when they may need to wait for their plane or spend time in the shade.

We thought we would try some of the games out to see how good they are at occupying young children and how well they can prepare children for their holiday. The site offers a selection of printable games such as mazes, spot the difference and my favourite a memory game which helps children to learn simple names of things in Turkish.

P found the maze very easy and these are normally quite hard for her to complete, the spot the difference was very good and took her a good ten minutes to complete and she enjoyed giving it a try. The memory game I found it be very educational and I was amazed at how quickly P picked up the words. I found that she was able to recall some of them days later so this activity would make a great way to prepare children if they are going on holiday aboard.
