Under the current pandemic situation, it is definitely not a good idea to go out and things are becoming quite difficult now especially with the kids. The schools are closed and so are the playing grounds. They are having a hard time without meeting friends and attending only zoom classes. Their physical activities might have also reduced since they cannot go out to play.
Now, if kids are stuck at home for long they tend to get annoyed and start throwing tantrums. In order to keep them engaged and happy one can arrange for some kids activities at home which will also allow them to have some fun.
Here are a few activities which they can arrange for:
- There are many children who love to build and play in caves and dens. There are games which can give the opportunity to the kids to build a huge pillow fort at home and play inside. Building a fort itself is a fun and an engaging game. They can plan and build them with their siblings or with their parent and can have proper fun. The easiest way to build a den or a fort at home is by using bed sheets or blankets which are placed over the back rests. One can also add a few cushions to make the fort comfortable.
- Arrange a birthday party for your kid’s favourite toy or doll. This is another fun activity that can keep the child engaged for long. Also, the child requires nothing to play this game which one does not have at home. One can help their child arrange for a tea party with a tea set which is meant for children. Some nice snacks and balloon can be a great addition there. Apart from that one can also add some music. This can also help the kid to learn how to arrange things at home apart from fun. They can also ideate new things for the party which can alleviate their imagination powers.
- Do you have more than one kid at home? If the answer is yes, then it is indeed a great idea to arrange for a housebound treasure hunt for them. One can create a map of their home and then hide very small items around it. Mark that each piece of treasure on the map and then explain the map to the kittle kids. Then see how they start the hunting game and be overjoyed when they can discover those little items. If the kids are a bit older then one can easily use riddle notes instead of maps and let the kids figure out, where these items are supposed to be hidden.
- If your kids love to create something then one can engage them in an activity of life size drawings. This is a creative and colourful way of spending time at home.
These are the easy but very fun kid’s activities ideas which one can do with them at home to make the pandemic life a bit easier.
