During this time, when we are all staying\nat home, it seems like everything we do is on the computer. Parent\u2019s work and\nchildren\u2019s school and therapy appointments are all happening through a screen. By\nthe end of the day, we may all need ways to connect outside of the internet. Here\nare some ideas for activities that you can do with your kids to unplug from technology\nand spend some quality time together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can practice so many language and\nmath skills while cooking! Kids can practice reading recipes, following or\ngiving you directions, and requesting ingredients and utensils. Take advantage\nof your time at home to cook things that you\u2019ve never made before. Plus, your\nkids will love eating the end result. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can have a scavenger hunt in your house, or organize one outside. Simply make a list of things to find and search together. You can even have your kids draw pictures of the things that you find. You can find some sample scavenger hunts here: https:\/\/buggyandbuddy.com\/30-free-printable-scavenger-hunts-for-kids\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Go for a bike ride. Take a walk. Have a\ndance party. Do some yoga. Create an obstacle course in the backyard. We all\nneed to let out some energy and move our bodies after spending so much time in\nthe house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids of all ages can help to create a\nstory. All good stories need an introduction of the characters and setting, a\nproblem for the characters to solve, making attempts to solve the problem, and\nthen finally resolving the problem in the end. Older kids can use their writing\nskills to create a script. Then, assign the parts, practice your lines, and put\non a play in your home! You could also create puppets and have them be the\nstars of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGet Moving: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
