Other Ways to Learn
What else can you do at home?
Whilst learning is extremely important, there is a lot more to this than reading, writing and maths.
Being at home together provides you as a family with an amazing opportunity to do other things together which have sometimes stopped being a part of children's childhoods as our lives have got busier.
What we as adults are currently seeing as a few potentially very stressful months could become time that your children remember as some of the best in their lives.
Here are just a few ideas:
- building dens or forts,
- planting a garden,
- playing shops,
- preparing meals together,
- writing letters to family and friends who you can't visit at the moment,
- playing board games,
- create a journal scrap book for your time at home,
- design a fairy or super hero house for the garden,
- junk modelling,
- card crafting,
- send ecards to people feeling lonely,
- tic, tac, toe,
- squares,
- cat's cradle,
- bake cookies and ckaes,
- have a family pyjama day,
- print off naturre scavenger hunts for the garden,
- get involved with the local rainbow spotting game... (people are putting rainbows in windows for children to spot when they are out walking for exercise)
