Summer Activities for Bored Kids
By Dr. Gulden Akinci Summer can be a great time for exploration and discovery. But without interesting activities it could be pretty boring as well. Here are some suggestions to help summer flow easy for your kids. 1) Cleanup Treasure Hunt… How about having your elementary school age children help you in cleaning up the house, that chaotic garage or the out of control shed? Impossible, you say? Well, here is a suggestion: hide certain toys or objects that they like and then make it a contest of discovering as many gifts as possible. While your children are digging up things to find the “treasure,” you can direct them to put things away and take the trash out or help with similar menial jobs that they would not otherwise be interested in. 2) Take the city bus or commuting train on a sightseeing tour of your city (a ride to the beach would be perfect!) and challenge your children to count the first “100 white trucks” along the way, or “50 buildings with neon signs.” The contest winner gets an additional scoop of ice cream. Most kids never get tired of playing such counting games all day long, especially when their surroundings change constantly and their levels of concentration are challenged with unusual rules. 3) Arrange a visit to a destination that normally neither you nor your kids would go. For example a power plant, a firehouse, a battle ship, a printing press, an auction house, an antique store, a home for the elderly, a pet hospital, or the kitchen of a 5-star hotel. Kids are always enchanted by new experiences and love to learn interesting facts about complicated systems and organizations. ———————————————————————————————— Dr. Gulden Akinci is an author and a tutor with over 20 years of experience in math and science tutoring at high school and college level.
