🎁 A Christmas gift for Grades 4 to 12

Give them a head start for 2027

A 21-day holiday course (weekdays, 10 December to 12 January) that gets your child or grandchild ready for the grade they start in January. Grades 4 to 12, follows CAPS, English or Afrikaans.

    What you give

    A gift card to print, save or send on WhatsApp

    You get it the moment you've paid. No account, nothing to post.

    1. You pay as a guest. Your name, your email and the child's first name. That's all.
    2. You get the gift card. One per child, with a code. Print it for under the tree, or send it on WhatsApp.
    3. Their parent redeems the code on huddit.app/holiday in about two minutes and picks the grade and language.

    🎄Giving it on Christmas Day? That's fine. The course starts on 10 December, and missed days can be caught up, two a day, until 31 January.

    Who it's for

    For the grade they start in January 2027

    That's one grade up from this year: in Grade 7 now means Grade 8 in 2027. Every day revises what this year's grade built and then gently previews Term 1 of the new grade.

    Questions

    Good to know

    Which grade do I choose?

    The grade the child starts in January 2027, which is one up from this year. A child in Grade 3 now goes into Grade 4; a child in Grade 9 now goes into Grade 10. The price depends only on the band (4–7, 8–9 or 10–12), and the parent picks the exact grade and the language when they redeem.

    I bought a gift. What does the parent do?

    Send them the gift card (the picture or the code). They go to huddit.app/holiday, tap Redeem, enter the code and create a free Huddit account if they don't have one. It takes about two minutes.

    We're away over Christmas. Is that a problem?

    No. Christmas Day, New Year's Day and 16 December are off anyway, and every missed day stays open: your child can do up to two days a day to catch up, until 31 January 2027. A gift opened on Christmas Day can still be finished.

    What if we want a refund?

    Before 10 December you get a full refund: email [email protected] with your order email. Once the course has started we refund only until Day 2 has been opened. See Refunds.

    Isn't this just more screen time?

    Most of the time is on paper. The screen shows a short lesson and a worked example; your child then works in an exercise book and types in the answers. It's weekdays only, about 1 hour a day for Grades 4 to 7, in short blocks with breaks in between.

    Will my child actually do it?

    We can't promise that, but it's built to make it easy: short blocks, a 21-day strip to fill in, marks straight away, badges on Days 5, 10, 15 and 21, and a R100 stationery voucher for finishing. You see each day's progress on your phone, so you know when to nudge.

    What does it need: data, a computer?

    A phone, tablet or computer with a browser and an internet connection, plus an exercise book and a pen. There are no videos: lessons are text and simple diagrams, opened one block at a time. Nothing to install.

    When does it run?

    21 weekdays from Thursday 10 December 2026 to Tuesday 12 January 2027. Wednesday 16 December, Christmas Day and New Year's Day are off. Each day opens at midnight on its date. Missed days can be caught up, two a day, until 31 January 2027.

    How long is each day?

    About 1 hour for Grades 4 to 7, 1½ hours for Grades 8 and 9, and 2 hours for Grades 10 to 12, split into short subject blocks. Your child can stop between blocks and carry on later.

    How does the stationery voucher work?

    Complete at least 18 of the 21 days, including the Day 21 readiness check, by 31 January. We email a R100 stationery voucher to the parent within 5 working days.

    Can we print it?

    No. The course is online only: it opens one day at a time on huddit.app and can't be printed, copied or downloaded. Your child works in an exercise book and types the answers. The gift card itself you can print.

    Can two children share one code?

    No: one code is one child, and the course opens on one device at a time. Buy for siblings in one order and every additional child is 20% off.

    What do you keep about my child?

    Only a first name, the grade, the language track, the answers and scores, and the daily photo of working (which only you can see). You, the parent or guardian, create the account and consent for your child, as POPIA requires. See our Privacy Policy.
