50 Things App is a collection of 50 fun activities you can try with the children in your care. All activities listed on the app are either free or at low cost
Each and every one of these activities will uniquely challenge children to develop their confidence, build their communication and language skills and encourage learning. The activities have been written by education experts and early years practitioners to meet pre-school literacy priorities and help early years settings and schools respond to Ofsted's challenge to improve low literacy levels in children
50 Things aims to provide inspiration for parents, carers and practitioners to connect and bond with children through a range of activities. All suggestions included are low-cost or no-cost experiences that include indoor, outdoor, seasonal, home-based activities that are not only fun but will get children of to a flying start with their learning and language development. The app will help us understand the significant impact of playtime on children's development

50 Things to Do | Southwark
At 50 Things to Do, we’re passionate about sharing inspiration for fun, affordable early learning to help every child reach their potential.​​​​​
This helpful set of ideas for play and learning, featured in an app, website, and printed resources, is free to mums, dads, and caregivers.
50 Things to Do is based on the simple notion that quality time with family, indoors and outdoors, is a great way to support children’s development. That’s why we’ve put together 50 fun, low or no-cost activities for you to explore and enjoy at your own pace.
We recognise that what parents do with their children at home makes a big difference to their long-term learning and wellbeing. Every 50 Things to Do activity helps children learn, with a focus on relationships and playing together, supported by their most important teacher - you.
