It's raining outside...they can't go out to play! But before you let them jump on the computer, gather all the little ones (6-12 years old) and have them to "Get their create on!" Below are 5 suggestions:
1)Paint and color crafts: Always purchase washable, non-toxic paints and crayons for creative arts with 6-12 year old folks! Make paper and safety scissors plentiful and let their imaginations run wild!
2) Pantomime: Expand little minds by having them act out a "show me" skit. For example: "Show me a happy boy."
"Show me a crying baby."
"Show me your favorite teacher writing on the blackboard."
Have the "crowd" vote on the one they liked the best!
3) Bake - Under your watchful eye, let little ones mix the ingredients for their favorite cupcake recipe. You pour, they stir!
4) Collectively write a story: You (the adult) start a story with a funny opening sentence. Ask every child to add a couple of lines. After accumulating, say 20 lines, read it back to them for a sidesplitting laugh!
5) Make bookmarks: Reading is STILL fundamental, so get out the popsicle sticks, decals, yarn, ribbons, non-toxic glue and encourage your little ones to make page markers. Have them make several for themselves and friends!
