School holidays are days that are eagerly awaited by all students, teachers etc. I am also on vacation and have spent one week of school holidays and there are 2 more weeks of school holidays and I will continue with the Eid al-Adha holiday in July. I have no plans to spend this school holiday by traveling and just spending time at home. And I really enjoy it.

School holidays don't just have to go somewhere. Spending time at home with family is also very enjoyable. Those who are usually busy with textbooks, school assignments, get up early in the morning, have breakfast on time so that they are not late for school. All in time, must be fast and focus on the daily routine.

If you want to spend your school holidays traveling, please do so and don't forget to prepare as best you can to fill your vacation. But if you are the type of person who just likes to spend vacation time at home like me, don't be discouraged. You can do fun things or channel your hobbies, talents. Save for a moment the textbooks or other things that have been taking up your free time.

There are many fun things you can do while on vacation, even if it's just at home:

1. Play

Playing is the most fun thing you can do. Invite friends, family to play such as playing monopoly, snakes and ladders, or other traditional games. Gathering on the terrace of the house with friends while playing must be very fun

2. Watch tv

Watching your favorite tv show is the right choice. There is your favorite cartoon, entertainment show, or there is a cooking show maybe the right thing to fill the holiday. And see traveling events, documentaries to add insight.
