I am attempting to wean my kids off TV and Computers. I also need to make sure that these kids have a good holiday without too much stress of fighting etc
Their ages are
Girl 7 years old, Boy 9 years old, Girl 12 years old, Boy 13 years old.
Please give me loads of suggestions.

Hi there, depending on the size of your town or the distance between you and another town, besides googling you could check out Groupon. Not so long ago I got an awesome Groupon to the zoo two towns over. Do you have a YMCA? Sometimes ours will have events around school breaks. My kids are younger, but crafts always go over big, check out Pinterest. Tye-dying shirts can be a fun family event. If it's warm enough where you are, maybe set up a big water fight. Good luck, I hope you find some fun stuff to do!

Try doing an online search for your area such as "Things to do in ___", "attractions near ___", "free things to do near ___", "activities for kids near ___", etc. Many small and medium size towns have small free museums. Try historical societies and fire departments. There might be a free fire department museum. Local and state parks are a good source. Libraries may offer free or low cost activities, or librarians may be able to recommend something. Another good source would be the welcome center in a city.

You can always take them to the park, a museum, play board games, set up outside play activities they enjoy, set up dates with their friends, let them have a sleep over.
