November and December are the biggest rewards in the life of primary and secondary school children. We’ve got some activities where both children and adults can have some smart fun. Hey, who said you can’t enjoy the break without ditching education itself?

Family bonding is never limited to movie sessions and jungle trekking. Heck, some of us only do those things with friends. Say, perhaps convincing them to visit our endangered elephants. You may learn a thing or two about how nature and conservation share a specific connection in a parent-child relationship. And hopefully, it’ll boost your geography and strategic planning grades!
