Ten Daily Learning Activities for You and Your Childby Lynne Williams Send Feedback to Lynne Williams learning activitiesMore Details about learning activities here.
Feature Articles: 1. Go outside. Take a picnic or camp in the backyard. Ask your child questions about nature. Be a good role model by helping them look up the answers to tough questions. 2. Go to an educational center. Many of them have interactive demonstrations that kids love. They can learn about many topics in one place. 3. Even with budget cutbacks, many libraries have programs designed for children. So, in addition to checking out books appropriate for their ages and interests, "check out" any programs which may interest them. 4. Go to an art exhibit or museum and let your child talk about the art. You can talk about the finer points for them if they're old enough. 5. Play games with your child. Board games aid their social skills, an important facet of their education. A sport will teach them the value of practice and self-discipline. 6. Who would think that a grocery store is an educational venue! Every time you go, I'll bet you select the same varieties of fruits and vegetables, don't you? Why not let your child select an unfamiliar fruit or vegetable. If it's imported--there's a geography and world culture lesson just waiting for you! 7. Many children do not understand that their food does not grow in a back room at the grocery store! Plant and tend a tiny garden with your child. (I say "tiny" just so it stays manageable all season long.) This encourages responsibility and helps them understand consequences. But, most of all, they experience delayed gratification. Let them experience the wonder of nature and the joy of pulling up a radish for which they patiently waited. 8. Cook together. Help them prepare their favorite "dish". They practice reading and arithmetic by reading the recipe and by measuring the ingredients. I wonder if my mother knew that I would always remember the delight of making Christmas cookies with her. 9. Make friends with someone at a retirement home. This can develop into a wonderful relationship especially if your child has no local grandparents or elderly relatives. 10. Visit the zoo or bird watch. Bring your camera to take photos if you like. The whole point of this time is to calm down. Just sit. The more you watch, the more you will see. Discover how you can boost your child's grades in reading, spelling, vocabulary and writing.
