You know, guys, I'm going to explain something that will surprise you: The first time I played this game but today I chose the number 33 and followed the instructions of the monkey. I stayed still so she could read my mind right and guess, but she guessed the wrong symbol.

Akinator can read your mind and tell you what character you are thinking of, as if by magic. Think of a real or fictional character, answer few questions, and Akinator will try to guess who it is. Will you dare challenge the genie?

How To Paint Rocks | Kindness Rocks Project | Kids Craft Tutorial

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hi! I'm Kimbo from a girl and a glue gun! I've whipped together a super fun fan to keep you cool during the hot summer months AND it's a great kids craft that they will have a blast with!

I found these Popsicle sticks at the dollar store...already colored in. But you could totally have your kids paint some for you!

Grab a drill and drill a hole in the end...

I used 5 sticks per fan-because that was what fit my brads, but if you have bigger brads you could do more!

Lay out and trace a fan shape. You want to make sure that the bottom arch isn't too far down into the sticks or the bulky of the paper will make it hard to close!

I just got a new watercolor set that I was dying to play with. So I painted some fun fruit shapes!

After it dried, I cut out the fan shape and plugged in my glue gun (if you kids are doing this you could just use regular elmer's glue).

Spread out the sticks and glued them into place to the back!

You could probably double up and tape two fans together and make it really big!

I even made a 4th of July one to take to the parade with us!

This is the one my daughter made....so cute!

This one is made out of just regular paper and folds flat!

Learning to read with phonics

If you live in England, your child will learn to read using phonics. Their school is very likely to use either the Letters and Sounds phonics framework or the Read Write Inc. programme. Check with your school if you're not sure which one they use.

Using Letters and Sounds?

If your child is using Letters and Sounds, you can find this list of eBooks by Letters and Sounds Phases useful. Bear in mind the following:

If you don't know your child's Phase, you can check with your school. As a guide, most Reception children will be on Phases 1-4 and most Year 1 children will be on Phases 4-5. Beyond Phase 5, your child will be able to decode most books.

In Letters and Sounds, there are 'sets' within the Phases - so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase.

Some series contain occasional 'tricky words' that your child can't decode using phonics. Use the inside front cover notes to teach your child these words before they start the book.

Find out more about Letters and Sounds >

Using Read Write Inc. Phonics?
If your child is being taught to read using the Read Write Inc. programme, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Read Write Inc.' filter to select the right level.

Find more support and resources for Read Write Inc. in our parents' guide to Read Write Inc. >

Not reading to practise phonics?

Sharing books and independent reading

If your child is reading simply for enjoyment, comprehension, or practice, just browse the library or use any of the other filters. You can check which level is right for your child with this simple test from Read with Oxford.

Reading for pleasure

Are you a teacher? Find out about the Oxford Owl for School eBook library.

More available on Oxford Owl for School

Schools who are registered with Oxford Owl can provide pupils with access to an additional 30 Oxford Primary eBooks, plus a separate library of 50 Read Write Inc. titles all for free using a class login associated with their Oxford Owl for School.

Do you ever get bored during summer holidays or can't think of what you might like to do?

If you get a bit stuck for ideas, here are some suggestions.
Let us know whether you'll be doing any of these and what else you'll be getting up to in the comments below!
Always wanted to play basketball, but you don't have the option to do it at school? Or perhaps you would you like to try a bit of tennis?

A lot of sports centres in the UK have free or reduced-price sports activities over the holidays.

If you have racquets, then you might be able to play tennis at a local tennis court for free. The charity Tennis For Free also runs sessions for free with equipment like racquets and balls included, either with coaching or open play.

Ask an adult to help you look for some sporting opportunities at local centres or facilities near to where you live.

Do you fancy yourself as a future Great British Bake Off contestant?

The school holidays are a great time to hone your cooking skills!

If someone you know has a special celebration coming up, you might like to bake a cake for the occasion.

There may be a little more time for breakfast during the school holidays, so what about making some pancakes to kick start your day?

There are also lots of recipes from your favourite CBBC shows that you might like to try out.

3. Set an environmental challenge

With a bit more time on your hands, you might decide to take the opportunity to do something to help the environment or raise awareness of climate change.

There's loads of ideas for what you could do with our handy guide to cleaning up the planet.

For example, you might like to organise a #Trashtag challenge with your friends and see who can pick up the most litter.

Or you could think of ways to use greener transport over the holidays. Cycling doesn't produce any pollutants, so it's a great way to get out and about. If you don't know how to ride a bike, the holidays could be a great time to learn.

A lot of places offer free swimming for children aged 16 and under and some places even offer free swimming lessons.

Want some inspiration? Check out para-swimmer Maisie Summers-Newton in the video above! (If you can't see the video, then click here.)

5. Start a wildlife diary

Do you live in the countryside? Or maybe you live near a park?

The holidays could be a great time to explore the wildlife in your local area.

You could identify trees, do some bird watching, make a den or even start a wildlife diary like this one.

6. Make yourself a costume

Dressing up can be lots of fun, so you could spend some time getting creative with your clothes!

Ask an adult to take you to a fabric shop or charity shop for some inspiration.

Why not get a group of friends together and make a film?

It could be dancing along to one of your favourite songs or you could even write a script and film a mini-drama. (See if these films give you any ideas!)

You could ask an adult if you can film it on their mobile phone - but you must ask permission!

Whether you'd prefer to dance in front of your mirror or with friends, the holidays is the perfect time to perfect your moves.

What about coming up with a routine to your favourite song and putting on a performance for members of your family?

You could also ask an adult if there are any classes or workshops in your local area.

9. Make some eco-friendly slime

The holidays are a great time to get creative with some arts and crafts.

If you want some more ideas about ways to do this, Blue Peter has loads of craft and activity ideas.
