Activities to do at Home with Kids

The compulsory interruption of education and the temporary closure of workplaces created a great opportunity for us to spend time at home. During this time, it seems possible to rest a little and spend time with the loved ones that we missed. Parents who want to spend this holiday time together with their children are indecisive about the activities they can do. Watching television together or playing games on digital platforms means killing the time, not spending it together.

Here are the activities that parents who want to both fulfil the longing and spend quality time with their children can choose.

Watching Documents

We try to keep up with the popular and trendy movies in the routine rush of life. However, documentary films are often neglected. Documentaries that analyse a phenomenon or event based on documents greatly affect the mental development of children. Since it is a genre that is open to interpretation, it can be discussed in breaks, and opinions can be expressed about the movie in an interactive family environment. Families who want to have fun and exchange information with their children can watch many documentaries systematically during this holiday period.

Taking Care of the Garden Together

Gardens also need to be taken care of in the winter season. Taking this responsibility together, spending time with plants, sowing seeds and similar activities willmake the time spent together feel much more quality and intense. No matter how small your garden is, a few hours there will worth a short village trip.

Playing Games

Especially the parents of children whose age ranges are between 3 and 12, can make use of this holiday period by spending time on games intensively. As we all know, the only thing that children cannot get enough of is playing games. You can explore these games with the kids by buying new playing cards and box games during this time period. Traditional games such as Categories and Bingo are also among the options. Telephone and Charade games can make evenings full of fun for families of four and larger.

Since parents who have not been to work for a while do not have a problem with getting up early, reading a story book to children before going to sleep is another activity we recommend.
