Are you at home and want to spend quality time with your children and at the same time entertain them? Here I leave you ideas with crafts, games and activities that you can do with your children.
Play the treasure hunt:
Take some relatively small items (such as tennis balls) and hide them around your home. Then let your children search for them and earn points for each "treasure" they find. To help them you can say "cold" when they are moving away from the object, and "hot" when they are heading towards it in the right direction.
Fit the chair
For children 6 years and older. It is necessary to gather a chair (you can easily find one of these tables and chairs around you) and a handkerchief per participant, shoes or slippers. Each player takes a chair, observes it well, his eyes are bandaged and he is seated in his chair. At that time shoes are distributed on the floor. At the signal, all participants must walk on all fours to find the shoes scattered on the floor. When they find one, they must return to their chair and "fit" one of the legs of the chair, after that they must find another one, and "fit" another leg, until they "fit" all of them. It must be taken into account not to put the same number of shoes as chair legs, but to put less. If players can not find shoes, it is allowed to remove them from other chairs, but only one at a time. Win who has his chair shod.
Play video games:
This option is not my favorite either, but I like that parents can at least be part of this activity if we wish. New consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 have video games that make children move a lot and even "learn" music and some sports.
Buy a game like Punch Out (boxing) or Just Dance (dance) and practice it with your children. The good thing about these games is that besides spending an entertaining time with the family (your children will be happy to beat you, and let's face it, this is their territory), you will have a phenomenal "work out".
Disguise yourself:
Board old clothes, hats, belts, ties and accessories in general, and invite the children to create their own costumes. If you have costumes used for Halloween or presentations of the school or daycare, take them out and see how they manage to use them (even if they do not fit anymore!). Especially if you have small children, it is a good idea to have a box or trunk with costumes, clothes and accessories that they can use and play. In addition to having fun, children will increase their capacity for creativity and imagination.
