I love school praznika.Odmor from making lunches, washing and ironing school uniforms, homework and morning rush to be somewhere at a certain time. It should be a time to relax, unwind and regroup as a family and spend some time together doing activities that they love. Unfortunately, not everyone shares that opinion. School holiday breaks can be a stressful time for many families. "Oh no, two weeks vacation. What can I do to entertain them for so long." Does this sound familiar? Holidays should not be about you a parent to "keep their children entertained," and going broke in the process. Our family loves the idea of a list of fun activities to act as a guide. I like to find a balance between the activities together as a family, as well as things they can do themselves. Although it is possible to write a book full of suggestions about how to fill your home, I thought I would share a few ideas that work to heal from our obitelji.Bonus these activities is that why they are having fun they are great opportunities for naturally consolidate and extend their children's learning .
Our whole family loves to cook. Each child chooses who want to cook a meal for the family during the holidays (with the help of course). And the satisfaction of the final product there are a number of social and academic skills that are involved. Cooking involves children in the practical application of many mathematical concepts, such as measuring, comparing and contrasting, and evaluation. Develop an appropriate understanding of mathematical language is an integral part of the acquisition of knowledge and skills in numeracy and spatial awareness. Comparison of the size and amount includes the use and understanding of mathematical vocabulary. Children practice skills in identifying, for example, that a bowl of strawberries has the most, or that a pitcher is bigger, or wider, or that contains the most liquid. There is a reading and understanding of the recipes and the instructions on how to improve literacy. Our children have the choice of preparing a meal on their own with parental supervision or enlisting the help of other family members. Working with others, and delegation of tasks valuable social skills. Older children may already have a lot of these skills in place and simply benefit from further development and basic life skills and good food for when they leave home.
One of my kids all time favorite vacation activities should be building a cubby house. Locations are numerous and varied. Indoor, outdoor, up trees, under the ping pong tables and trampolines, behind the couch, even brodovima.Dubina child's imagination never ceases to amaze me. Whole rooms are transformed into the most amazing and creative design (with the help of a few sheets, blankets and a check mark), which can then be inspired games that can last for days. This may seem like a "mess" to us adults, but that child to a whole other world full of adventure, and only limited by your imagination. I do not encourage children to be the logical choice lokacije.Mjesto that does not affect the general working in the cubby house means they can remain embedded until the children tire of it. Just like cooking, cubby house building also has educational benefits. In addition to providing practice in conflict resolution, and cooperative efforts require the use of positional language whether out loud or just in the planning in their heads. Practical experience in both giving and following instructions appear as children work to put the chairs "in front", "behind" or "on top" tables, balance half-"between" bed, drape sheets "over" the table, wedge blankets "to" or "the "fences and move" inside "and" outside "of his new hideout. Such words are an important part of the position of each child vocabulary as it will be used in different contexts at school and have particular relevance for mathematical concepts.
Another simple, but popular activity jigsaw puzzles. I'm not talking 100 or 200 pieces of the puzzle I think 1000 pieces or više.Kava desk, table, ping-pong table or any surface that can cater for gradually drawing big puzzle is what is needed. This is a great opportunity to fill, but beware it can be very addictive. This activity allows children to come and go whenever they want and however they want. The puzzles are not just about putting the pieces together were instrumental in the development and consolidation of the many skills that are fundamental to effective learning. Hand-eye coordination, visual perception, eye tracking, reasoning, problem solving, fine motor skills, visual sequencing and perseverance are the main they are. Another thing I enjoy our vacation time jigsaw is the opportunity to sit and talk with djecom.Izraz school can be so busy that finding time to relax and conversation can be very difficult. Sitting around the jigsaw work provides the perfect environment for conversation. Instead of buying a new puzzle every time try to exchange with friends or borrowing local library. You can never be too old to do the puzzle. It really is the activity for the whole family.
These are just some ideas for the holidays, but there are many more. It's about finding people who meet and enjoy your family. Talk about it before the holidays, so the idea of a list on the refrigerator leads to the holidays, so that everyone looks forward instead of dreading it to break.
