    There’s nothing worse than your weekend plans being spoilt due to bad weather conditions. Unfortunately, this is something we know all too well in Ireland due to its unpredictable and often wet weather.

    So, if you find yourself stuck in this house this weekend, looking for something to do, you’ve come to the right place.

    From videos to articles, learning tools to games, the internet is home to everything you could possibly imagine. So, here are ten online games you can play to get you through a rainy day.
