Activities for your Kids during Covid 19 Pandemic
Having your children at home during the Coronavirus Pandemiccan be difficult, not only for the parents but also for the kids. Here are some tips to keep the kids from getting cabin fever while practicing social distancing during this time of crisis.
1) This is a great opportunity for kids to play more outside. Enjoy the spring weather and get some fresh air. This is a great way for them to disconnect to technology and social media and reconnect with nature.
2) Use video chat programs like FaceTime to connect with extended family and friends.
3) Keep them busy and on a routine. Create a schedule for them throughout the day to help them stay on top of their learning, complete chores and, of course, have play time.
4) Online learning academy and other educational resources that will keep them busy and is a fun way to learn.
5) Create family workout routine by creating an at home gym for the family.
6) Make creative projects and artwork such as a vision board that helps them to be goal-focused and gets those creative juices flowing.
7) Focus on family bonding. Schedule game nights, cook together with the family or have movie night. Take the opportunity to slow down and reconnect with your family.
