Homeschooling might now be over but lockdown certainly isn’t and the kids will need plenty of entertainment over the next few weeks.
It’s going to be April 12 at least until we can start visiting zoos, museums, theme parks and non essential shops, plus pubs and restaurants for outdoor food and drinks.
Until then, we still have to follow the stay at home rule, so the kids have a few more weeks of indoor games, den building and screen time. The Easter holidays are on the horizon too, meaning two more weeks of keeping the kids entertained while they’re off school. One way to pass a couple of hours altogether is by squeezing up on the sofa to enjoy a family film.
So grab some popcorn during your next essential shop at the supermarket, turn down the lights and start working your way through this list of family classics, put together by MEN. If one of your favourite films hasn’t made the list, let us know what it is in the comments below.
