What is family-activity idea picker?

activity-choice wheel is a free browser-based family activity decision tool for evenings, weekends, school holidays, and shared free time. Edit the sample entries, confirm the eligible list, choose the mode that matches the activity, and spin for a visible random result. Shortlist options that fit the group’s budget, time, weather, age range, transport, energy, and accessibility before spinning.

Filter the ideas before you spin

Comfort and safety

Consider weather, mobility, sensory needs, age guidance, and supervision.

Turn the result into a simple plan

Confirm the choice

Check that everyone understands the activity and any limits.
