Free time meaning a period for resting, leisure, engaging in desired activities and time free from daily obligations. Today, children are increasingly involved in extracurricular and sports activities and less often in those whose sole purpose is entertainemnt. In institutional care, there is an obligation for educators to develop a plan of activities taking into account the needs of children and at the same time ensuring a safe and protected environment for their development. Given this, children in the orphanage are more likely to have a planned range of leisure activities and are less independet into making decision. Similar activities will be described in this paper, which was conducted by five volunteers or graduate students of social work as part of the project "Emergency response to earthquake Sisak-Moslavina County – Mental Health and Psychosocial Support“ conducted by the Association for Psychological Assistance in cooperation with UNICEF. The volunteers had the task of structuring the children's free time on Sundays and helping them to learn. Together with the volunteers, the children also participated in designing the activities. The workshops, as well as the activities, proved to be very successful, which was confirmed by the children and educators in the end. At the end of the project it was concluded that it is necessery to improve communication between educators and children, add children's involvement in choosing leisure activities and introduce more diverse leisure activities and make distincion when is time to write homework and when it is free time.
