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. So the memories of this summer will definitely stay with you.Photo: GettyImages3. Teach your child the yard games of your childhood. Outdoor games on the street are now rare. Teach your child and his friends to play in the tuxedoes, the Cossacks-robbers, and the girls remind the good old game - to jump in the rubber band. Such outdoor games will suit children of almost all ages, and the benefits of them are immense - both in physical and socialization of the child in the team. Launch a kite. Entertainment from our childhood will also conquer modern children. Ideally, to make a snake independently, do not know how - nothing terrible, and the purchase will bring a lot of joy. Go hiking. Such a raid on nature will be an exciting adventure. Put up a tent, bake potatoes in the coals and be sure to sing songs around the fire. Even if you do not dare to stay there with an overnight stay, a day spent in the nature like this will long remain in the memory of the child. 6. Make a sundial. Take a disposable plate, draw a dial with a marker (it is necessary to divide the plate into 24 sectors, and not into 12, as in a mechanical clock). In the center, make a hole and insert a wand or pencil into it. Exactly at noon, set the clock so that the shadow of the pencil falls on the number 12, and watch the shadow move according to the time of day.7. Play pirates. Draw a map with secrets and puzzles, hide the crap in the area where the game will take place (playground, park, summer house). Such searches will surely delight children. Then you can also make a pirate feast.Photo: GettyImages8. Admire the starry sky.Even just a late walk will cause the child a lot of joy. In the dark, everything seems mysterious and exciting. Admire the starry sky, find the constellation Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. Tell the children fairy tales, legends, and maybe even scary stories. Shine a flashlight on the wall and play in the theater of shadows.9. Spend themed holiday. It can be any holiday: Ice Cream Day, Neptune Day, foam party, etc. Together with children, create costumes, contests, prepare a treat, turn on cheerful music and have fun from the heart. Explore your hometown. Try becoming a tourist in your hometown. Go through the places with sights, visit remote corners, go to the local history museum. Something new and unknown can be found even in the most familiar place. 11. Build a hut. If you have a dacha, you cannot do without a summer secret shelter. A tree-house of a branch, a tree house for older children, or just a design made of boxes, boards, and branches — in any case, the child will be absolutely delighted. Plant flowers. This can be done both in the country and under the windows or on the balcony. It is best to choose fast-growing flowers so that the child does not have to wait long for the fruits of his labors. Master the rollers (skate, bike or jumpers). What has your child not tried yet? Select the appropriate age option, means of protection and go to the park. A good option would be badminton or table tennis - fun is no less, and the risk of injury is minimal.Photo: GettyImages14. Get a pet.Summer is the best time to make many children's dream come true and get a pet. In autumn and winter, due to kindergarten or school, it is problematic to take full care of an animal, but if you get a pet in the summer, then there is every chance that by autumn the child will learn to combine his activities and care for a pet. 15. Go in for sports. Summer is a great time to start doing sports! Take care of your offspring's health - start attending sports clubs and sections. During this period, health improvement is in full swing, and there is much more time to get used to a new activity. By September, the child will already have certain habits, and the problem of properly distributing time with new activities will not arise.
