Are the words 'I'm bored' starting to echo around your house? Not to worry as we've put together some fantastic ideas to help bust the boredom these school holidays.

#1 - The Ultimate Pirate Hat

You aren’t a real pirate until you have a fancy pirate hat. Get creative with the kids and create the ultimate pirate hat that will make the neighbours kids jealous! To help you get started we have put together some instructions, take a look here.

#2 - Help Colour Captain Bluebeard

Captain Bluebeard lost his colour at sea and he needs help to get back to health. Be careful though, if the kids make one wrong step they could be walking the plank! Download Captain Bluebeard here.

#3 - Word Find

Word finds are a must for any school holiday and are a great educational tool for children. Click here to download the word find.

#4 - The Treasure Chest

Every little pirate needs a chest to store all their treasure so get creative with the kids and build a treasure chest together. Treasure chests are great for storing toys, clothing and pocket money! Whether it’s large or small, wooden or cardboard it’s a great way to keep busy and will provide entertainment for hours!

#5 - Travelling with Bluebridge

If you are travelling with us these school holidays your children will receive a free piratical activity pack which includes a 16 page activity booklet full of games, craft, stickers and colouring pencils plus an actual on board treasure hunt for children to complete with their parents or caregivers. But wait it gets better, all our pirate goodies come housed in a special Captain Bluebeard bag that fits nicely over most car head rests so your little ones can continue their pirate adventure on the remaining road trip! Find out more here.

#6 - Photo Competition
