The days are getting colder and colder as Winter comes. In addition to that, in July the school holidays will start, giving the children two weeks to enjoy. We have already given some tips on Winter activities to stimulate language and communication, so this article will present some ideas to keep children active during Winter:
Cardboard houses. If you can find a big cardboard box, explore children’s imagination by encouraging them to decorate it as a house, or a rocket, or a TV where they are the attraction within it. Cardboard boxes always ensure fun among children!
Indoor scavenger hunt. You can create a ‘treasure’ in a box and hide it, then scatter paper hints across the house of how to find it. Then, just observe the magic happening with engaged and excited children trying to find their prize!
Winter sports. If you have the proper gear, sports such as skiing, ice skating or sledding can keep children active and warm against the cold Winter. Or, at least, go for a walk, a jog or short run with them.
Party time. If you turn music on, scatter some glow sticks in the room and turn off the lights, children will immediately enter ‘enthusiasm mode’ and will prove that fun needs no effort!
Wii or Xbox Kinect. Videogames are very engaging, so it’s a very good idea to explore videogames which keep children physically active such as the ones shown in the video below:
