Fun and educational activities for kids at home

Check out these 4 activities to give you new ideas about what to do with your kids at home, there will be a lot of fun!

1.- Exploration and learning

Exploration is fun for kids as they learn new things that allow them to stay safe and agile. We offer you this entertaining and resourceful activity: Treasure Hunt! 

Create a map with hidden objects, your house will become a space for exploration. Add quizzes or riddles, and if the kids know how to answer these questions, they will obtain clues to find the treasure. 

Enjoy as your kids learn while having fun! Give them an extra step with an obstacle course. Get creative, use chalk on the sidewalk, and make the kids step on colors or shapes to get to the other side.

2.- Recreate a story

Reading, writing, and communication are essential for the intellectual development of your kids. Chances are, during quarantine, your kids will watch movies at home, and you can use this to your advantage. 

At Camp Guaikinima, everyone loves this activity! Learn from the story you just saw, help your kids recreate the story and practice storytelling. Add impromptu costumes and increase the fun! Spend time together as they learn to express themselves.

Improvise a small stage in your living room to help your kids be able to recreate their favorite stories. If you want to go a step further, design homemade puppets with them and host a puppet show.

3.- Board games and learning

For older kids, you should have other options. Board games are always a great choice because they allow them to have fun while learning. Create a challenge where they must answer questions to get to the next square, if they don’t answer correctly, they must take a step back. This activity can increase concentration levels and provide a better sense of analysis over time.

4.- DIY activities for kids

Get cooking, let your kids create delicious food dishes with fun colors. Let them join you in the kitchen and add food coloring to your recipes to make the activity unique. To feed others, gather recycling materials, and create a beautiful bird feeder. Fill a container with seeds or nuts and let them be in contact with nature and animals.
