Weekend Planning Made Simple: Let WhatsApp Help You Find Family Activities That Actually Work

1

It’s Friday afternoon. The kids are asking what’s planned. You’re tired, scanning your brain (and Google) for something that doesn’t involve another soft play centre. Sound familiar?

Planning weekends as a parent can feel like a full-time job. You want to do something fun and meaningful, but the search takes forever. By the time you’ve looked up places, checked prices, and figured out opening hours, half the day’s already gone.

That’s exactly why we built this into Simplify.

The Problem with Weekend Planning

Let’s be honest — most weekends start with:

“What should we do tomorrow?”
Cue frantic searches: “Activities near me,” “kids events this weekend,” “rainy day ideas for families.”

You find suggestions, but they’re either:

  • Too generic
  • Too far
  • Not age-appropriate
  • Booked up

And by the time you’ve looked through it all, it’s easier to just stay home.

What Makes It Easier?

Instead of searching from scratch every week, what if you could just say:

“Any good local activities this weekend? My kid’s into space and dinosaurs.”
And get suggestions right away — tailored to your child’s interests, your area, and what’s actually happening nearby.

That’s how it works with Simplify.

How It Works Inside WhatsApp

You don’t need to download another activity app or scroll endlessly through listings. You just ask Simplify in WhatsApp.

Say:

“Any museum events this weekend?”
“Find something outdoors nearby for Saturday.”
“My kids love animals — anything fun happening?”

Simplify checks what’s going on locally, looks at the weather, and gives you ideas you can actually use.

It’s like having someone do the research for you — but faster and already in your pocket.

Personalised, Not Generic

Unlike random online lists, Simplify gives suggestions based on:

  • Your child’s interests
  • Their age
  • Your location
  • The season and the weather
  • What you’ve enjoyed in the past

That means fewer hits and misses, and more outings the whole family can enjoy.

Avoiding the ‘Too Late’ Feeling

One of the biggest frustrations for parents is finding something after it’s already sold out, closed, or started. Simplify avoids this by only suggesting what’s actually doable.

It also includes:

  • Free local events you might not hear about
  • Community activities you’d usually miss
  • Indoor options when it’s raining
  • Outdoor ideas when the weather’s good

Still Want Flexibility? You’ve Got It

You don’t need to plan every minute. Simplify doesn’t give you a fixed itinerary — it gives you a shortlist. A few good options to pick from, depending on how the day goes.

If your Saturday doesn’t go to plan, you still have Sunday sorted.

No More “Let Me Check” Moments

Your child asks, “Can we do something fun tomorrow?”
Instead of saying, “I’ll have a look later,” you just ask Simplify — and within seconds, you’ve got an answer.

Less time researching. More time doing.

Building Little Traditions

When weekend planning becomes easier, something else happens: you start doing more as a family. Regular museum visits. Seasonal activities. Outdoor adventures you wouldn’t have found otherwise.

And suddenly, weekends feel like something to look forward to — not something to scramble to figure out.
