Halloween/Half-Term Family Activities

Family Health

Get creative with the family and learn this half-term

Are there any budding young artists in your house? Do you like drawing? How good are you at crossword puzzles?

The Consumer Council has designed a series of games, quizzes and activities for all the family to get involved with this half-term. You’ll learn about scams, consumer rights and budgeting alongside our mascot, Peanut the Squirrel.

These activities will keep you and the family busy and entertained this half-term. They have been designed to have a learning element too, so you may learn something new yourself!

In addition, you may even win a prize! The Consumer Council is asking you to tag it in photos of you and your family playing these activities on Twitter at @ConsumerCouncil or on Facebook to be in with a chance to win a £25 Love2Shop voucher.

 

The Halloween-themed activities are available at:

But it doesn’t stop there, The Consumer Council also has a range of other education activities focusing on consumer rights, avoiding scams and budgeting on its dedicated Activities webpage:
