Activities for Children and Families

On this page you will find lots of great ideas and resources for children and families to get active at home, and in Wiltshire and Swindon.

Use our Activity and Club Finder to find a range of activities and clubs on offer within your local area. The finder shows opportunities for all ages and directs you to websites where you can explore what is on offer specifically for children and young people. You can also visit our Partner Programmes page to find out what is on offer for children and young people from local organisations in Wiltshire, such as Wiltshire Council, and Junior Parkrun.

We also have a range of activity videos available on our YouTube Channel, which offer a range of exciting ways to get active at home as a family.

This Girl Can have partnered with Disney to create some Disney inspired dance routines you can do together as a family at home! You can learn their moves or put your own spin on their routines. At the end of the day, it's about breaking a sweat while having a bit of fun.

Our Second This Girl Can Festival took place during This Girl Can Week (12-19th June 2021) and this year, we took the event virtual!

The event gave girls across Wiltshire and Swindon the chance to try something new and get active, by taking part in 3 non-traditional activities, specifically designed to encourage female participation in physical activity.

The Festival is all about getting your hear rate up, and having fun whilst doing it!

We have made all of the videos from the Festival available on our YouTube Channel, so you can try them at home whenever you like!

Take a look at the video below for a taster of what you can get involved in.

This video introduces 4 Tik Tok challenges - can you do all 4?

Following on from the very successful Beat the Street programmes, our partners have a few quiz trails for you to try if you live in Swindon or Trowbridge.

These fun trails walk you through your local area looking for clues in the features and buildings around you. It is a great way to get the whole family out in the fresh air, giving children the opportunity to stay engaged and maybe learn a little on the way.
