Keeping Kids Learning Over the Summer: Fun Maths & English Prep for School Readiness

The summer holidays are here, and while a well-deserved break is essential, many parents across the UK worry about the “summer slide”—that drop in academic skills that can happen over a long break. The good news is, you don’t need to choose between fun and learning.

At KwizEd, we believe in making learning an adventure. Our platform is packed with interactive quizzes and games designed specifically to make maths and English revision feel less like a chore and more like a challenge. We’re here to help you get your child ready for September, without the stress.

KwizEd’s Top Tips for Making Summer Maths Fun

Want to go a step further? Here are some simple, practical ideas to integrate maths into your everyday summer activities. These are great for families looking for fun educational activities at home or on the go.

  1. Spot Maths on Days Out! Turn car journeys into a maths lesson! Play number plate games, like finding the highest number or adding up all the digits. At the supermarket, ask your child to calculate the total cost of a few items or work out the change you’ll get. These real-world examples make maths feel relevant.
  2. Use Cooking to Teach Fractions: The kitchen is a maths classroom in disguise! Let your child help you measure ingredients. This is a fantastic way to practice fractions and weights in a hands-on way that they’ll actually enjoy.
  3. Play Educational Board Games: Board games like Monopoly, Connect 4, and card games are brilliant for practising counting, strategy, and problem-solving without them even realising it.
  4. Set Short, Achievable Goals with KwizEd: Avoid long, tedious sessions. Aim for 15-20 minutes of a fun maths or English quiz on KwizEd a few times a week. This consistent practice is more effective than cramming and helps build long-term confidence.
