For some, spending all day at home is synonymous with boredom. But the truth is that in addition to the daily chores, there are many other activities that we can do with our families in a fun way and best of all, without leaving home. Here are some recommendations to be with the family and have fun.
5 ideas for family fun
Bring out all your creativity and... Turn it into handicrafts!
When we put our creativity to the test, family time can fly by. Arm yourself with ideas together with the little ones of the house, and start collecting materials to bring out the artist in them. Sheets of paper, cardboard, colors, paints and plasticine that you can find in your drawers, will be ideal to make the best creations in the company of the little ones. It helps the development of concentration, speed, confidence and creative ability.
Cooking? Why not?
Spending quality family time cooking is a lot of fun. Especially for children, who are sure to enjoy touching the food, tasting new flavors and contributing to the creation of delicious recipes. By cooking, children learn to recognize textures, smells, tastes and flavors, while stimulating their senses of taste, smell, touch and hearing. The key to making this activity enjoyable for everyone is to choose practical, easy and, above all, fun recipes.
Let's sing!
Another alternative to spend the day at home with the family, without missing out on a totally cool experience. Plug in your stereo, and find your favorite song to sing individually, in pairs or better yet, in a group. The kids are sure to love it, and it will expand and strengthen their vocabulary, concentration and memory. Go for the microphones!
Awaken your imagination with a good read
From a very young age, it is necessary to encourage the habit of reading. And what better way to do this than to spend a whole day at home doing fascinating and very entertaining reading rounds with the family. Choose a story or fable, and read it in the most creative way possible, recreating the voices of the characters and turning a simple reading into an adventure. Leave it to the other members of your family to invent another ending to the story or draw pictures about it.
Board games: pure adrenaline and fun
Being at home is not synonymous to stop learning, on the contrary, there are plenty of ways to teach your children at home. One of them? Teaching them to compete in a healthy way and to work as a team with the help of board games. Adrenaline and entertainment will be the main protagonists of a family afternoon enjoying a healthy family board game. What are you waiting for? Hurry up, and dust off those cards or the Monopoly you have forgotten in the closet and get ready for the fun.
