Parents, have your children already started telling you how "bored" they are this summer? If so, try adding BORED to their schedules.
A great way to make them more independent with this - add a sign to a place in your home with the list. Extra credit for making them check them off as they complete them.
Kiddos need a little more guidance? Try adding ideas or pictures of tasks under each category. Together come up with a rotation of activities, books, or chores. This way it stays fun and fresh. For littles - print off pictures. You can also use a timer for kids that need extra structure.
Need some ideas?
- Make up multi skill obstacle courses (running, jumping, shooting at a target, jumping jacks, etc)
- Have them pick a picture and follow along on Art for Kids Hub on Youtube
- Find a simple recipe and have them make it
- Get out the puzzles, print off mazes, or coloring pages
- Head to the pool or splash pad
- Draw with chalk
