School holidays are a fun time for children. They get more time with the family and a break from the hectic daily tasks of schoolwork, homework and other extra curriculums they may have. Although you will be hoping they spend time productively, a smart TV could make their time off a great experience. Smart TVs offer access to an internet of exciting activities, possibilities and much more, so, of course, they could be the perfect way to upgrade your time at home into the new age of technology. As a leading online supplier of cheap TVs, we explore how a smart TV can help improve many holiday traditions you may already have with its incredible range of functions.
Movie Afternoons
A British downpour can happen all year round. However, that shouldn’t put you off getting in the holiday mood. They especially like to arrive when you have any outdoor activities planned, such as a treasure hunt. In fact, it’s the perfect excuse to settle in for an afternoon of movies while enjoying the enormous amount of treats you have bought for the children at home. Thankfully there are thousands of movies to choose from, all on various streaming platforms, which means there is an endless supply of films to suit the entire family.
A smart TV can make movie afternoons so much simpler. To access various platforms without a smart TV, you may need an unsightly amount of dongles and plug-in devices to access the various services to find the right film. However, with a smart TV, a simple click of a button will open your TV up to instant access to all your favourite streaming services to find the perfect film. So whether you are looking for a heartwarming film such as All Creatures Great and Small (1975) or something a little more adult, like A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014), you will surely find something to keep you entertained when the rain puts a dampener on the days. In addition, most of our cheap smart TVs offer some of the best technologies, like Dolby Atmos, to make movies a much more enjoyable experience.
Present A Virtual Scavenger Hunt
School Holidays are the perfect time to create a themed scavenger hunt. It offers good old-fashioned fun. But what if we told you, you could make it much more exciting by including technologies like your smart TV? There are many ways you could include your device to make the hunt a little more technical and exciting:
Have a Map On-Screen
Many TVs will offer the ability to choose your own screensaver for when the TV is in standby mode. Using this feature to display a map allows children (or adults) to see the map at a quick glance without losing pieces of paper and can help make the map much bigger for them to see. You could even make a slideshow of hints and pictures of where they may be hiding. Screen mirroring on your smart TV can also help you create the map on a mobile device but display it wirelessly without cables.
Get the Entire Family Involved
Whether there are family members across the waters or friends who cannot join in physically, you can ensure no one misses out by using your smart TV. Various smart TV brands offer video calling platforms as part of their software, with some even including a built-in camera (If yours doesn’t, you can pick them up a webcam for as little as £20). Connecting to your friends and family via video call can help include them in the activities and make them feel much more involved in the fun activity.
Showcase a Presentation
If you have plenty of time, you could even make a video presentation to help participants around the house to find the treats they are looking for. This presentation can be as detailed, imaginative and creative as you choose to make it. Whether you wish to video yourself in various locations where the treats are or create riddles that must be solved to find the answer to the hiding places, the only limit is your imagination.
Get Cooking or Creating Together
There are many online platforms with access to a range of videos online which can help you get your creative inspiration flowing. So whether you are looking for some delicious culinary instructions or to create beautiful decorations with some arts and crafts, the internet is full of great guides and recipes that will make the holiday one to remember.
However, nothing is worse than trying to keep up with instructor-led guides, manuals or recipes from a small screen. Often mobiles are subjected to flour explosions, accidental liquid spills or even a sticker stuck to them. Eliminate the need to keep your phone or mobile device out of harm’s way by using the screen mirroring function on your phone. You can mirror anything you find online to a smart TV and keep your phone tucked away in safety whilst still reading through the instructions with ease. In addition, with discount TVs from our stock, you could have one in any room you desire. This can give you instant access to many online platforms with how-to videos and cook-along recipes from YouTube, Switch and much more, eliminating the need for your phone together whilst easily transforming ing back into a TV for relaxing purposes with ease.
