Read your head stamps ! Take a known 303 British cartridge and compare them , if they don't look alike and are not stamped as 303 don't chance it by letting your kid be a ginny pig .
1.00 each standard ball , AP and tracer 3.00 each( clean and un dented) blanks 1.00
The head stamps are the money, it all depends on what you have there were thousands of different types , and head stamps . I see that there are some linked , links are collectables as well ( again depending ) .

The box with .303 Ball Cartridge label is a Lend-Lease style package, could be worth a few bucks if all the rounds are there - and worth some money as well as a collectors item even if they're just fired casings.

Surplus .303 is worth a few dollars regardless of manufacture, it's getting harder to find it.

In addition, some of those SP rounds might be reloads......never trust any unidentified reloads for shooting.
 
The tracer rounds are worth more, a few bucks at least.

Go through them and make sure they are not military ammo with new bullets on top, you will never know the powder in there, I found a bunch like this.

There are lots of headstamp sights online to identify, know what you have before shooting, there are cartridge collectors out there and some of the stuff is getting rare.
