It will be remembered: 15 exciting summer activities with a child

1. Admire the nature.While walking, pay attention to the plants, insects, birds and animals. Tell us about some interesting things. For example, count the number of rings on a stump, explain that how many rings this tree has been for so many years. There is one more interesting feature: thin rings speak of bad years - cold and arid, and wider rings - of favorable, that is warm, with a sufficient amount of rain.2. Create a photo collage of this summer. Suggest your child to take pictures of this summer: interesting moments, funny events, views of nature, etc. It will be even more interesting if he writes explanations and notes to these photos. And at the end of the summer, create a collage together and hang it in the child’s room.

Teach your child and his friends to play tag, robber Cossacks, and remind the girls of the good old game - jumping rubber bands. Such outdoor games are suitable for children of almost all ages, well, and the benefits from them are enormous - both physically and in terms of the child's socialization in a team. Fly a kite. Entertainment from our childhood will conquer modern children too. Ideally, you don't know how to make a snake independently, it's okay, and a purchased one will bring a lot of joy. Go for a hike and the nature excursion will be a thrilling adventure. Set up a tent, bake potatoes in the coals, and be sure to sing songs by the fire. Even if you do not dare to stay there with an overnight stay, a day spent in nature in this way will remain in the memory of the child for a long time. 6. Make a sundial. Take a disposable plate, draw a dial with a marker (it is necessary to divide the plate into 24 sectors, not 12, as in a mechanical clock). Make a hole in the center and insert a stick or pencil into it. At exactly noon, set the clock so that the shadow from the pencil falls on the number 12, and observe how the shadow moves in accordance with the time of day. 7. Play pirates. Draw a map with secrets and puzzles, hide the "hordes" in the territory where the game will take place (playground, park, summer cottage). Such searches will surely delight children. Then, in addition, you can also arrange a pirate feast.Photo: GettyImages8. Marvel at the starry sky.Even just a late walk will already cause a lot of joy in the child.
