Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

It's October half-term and the key to staying sane (and stopping the house from getting ransacked) is to keep them busy!

So, here's just what you need - this is your half-term survival guide, complete with vouchers for cheap days out, easy recipes, things to do when it's raining and more.

Take them on a day out

Days out can be cheap as chips! Click on the link and print out vouchers for the cinema, theme parks and more from our half-term money savers

You can also use our days out planner to find things to do near you and within your budget.

If the rain ruins your plan for a day out - give one of these rainy day activities a go instead.

Go for a meal

If you haven't seen this already, you need to start checking our weekly money-off vouchers page! We search the web and find the best offers at your favourite restaurants including Pizza Express, Zizzi, GBK and more.

That's right, you don't even need to spend a penny with these ideas that kids will love - including dressing up, sleepover parties and more.
