School holidays are always something to look forward to. Generally, school holidays last for about two weeks or more after semester exams—a break before starting the next semester or moving on to the next grade. Some students also graduate from one level of education and move on to the next.

Class promotion holidays usually take place in June or July. Every school has its own academic calendar, so the holiday dates can differ between schools—especially from one province to another.

Budget-Friendly School Holiday Activities

Tired of spending school holidays just sitting at home? Here are 5 fun and affordable activity ideas for your mid-year break:

1. Staycation

Staycations became a go-to vacation option during the pandemic. When you and your family are feeling cooped up at home, staying at a hotel nearby can be a great way to refresh your mood. Think of it like a little "refresh" button!

A staycation is essentially a local vacation—not too far from home. You can enjoy hotel facilities like the gym or pool. Many new hotels also offer aesthetic, Instagrammable designs with a wide range of prices to suit different budgets.

2. Visit a Museum

Museums often get a bad rap for being boring or "uncool," but that’s a totally outdated view. Modern museums in Indonesia now offer well-designed, brightly lit exhibition spaces with well-maintained and interesting collections.

You won't just see traditional paintings—you’ll experience interactive, creative displays. A visit to the museum can be both a photo opportunity and a chance to gain new knowledge and insight. Remember: art isn’t just about aesthetics; it expresses the artist’s emotions and aspirations. That’s why museums make great weekend destinations.

3. Play Board Games at Home

Games like Monopoly, Snakes & Ladders, King’s Feud, or trivia can be great family fun. Turn it into a little competition—losers get a funny penalty!

4. Picnic in the Park

Find a free, shady city park. Pack some snacks and drinks, pick a comfy spot, and enjoy a relaxing time with the family.

Let the kids play outdoors to exercise their bodies and minds. Choose a nearby park that’s green and peaceful. Remember, family fun doesn’t have to be expensive!

5. Exercise Together

Take the kids out for a morning jog—it’s free, fun, and healthy! Look for a safe jogging track, ideally not on a busy road. Parks and fields are great options.

Alternatively, take the kids swimming—something they usually love. Many public swimming pools and hotel facilities are open for visitors and are quite affordable.

These school holiday activity ideas are easy on the wallet but full of good vibes. Your kids won’t get bored at home, and you’ll make lasting memories.
