The coronavirus crisis<\/strong><\/a> in our country has forced the authorities to take drastic decisions to prevent the spread of the virus and minimize its effects, including the closure of schools for at least two weeks, which may be extended depending on the evolution of the pandemic. If you have children in your care, you are probably wondering what to do with them for so many days at home, especially the younger ones who are used to the usual pace of daily life, extracurricular activities or relaxing after school in the park or playground. In this article, we propose activities to entertain children nowadays and help make the recommended social isolation more bearable.<\/p>\n

Social Isolation of Children by Coronavirus<\/h2>\n

Even if your children have no symptoms, they may be incubating the virus or even have a mild form of coronavirus, like a common cold. They can simply pass it on, but being in contact with other children can pass it on to them, and they in turn can pass it on to their parents or grandparents, a high-risk population for whom infection with the virus is much riskier. This is why our first recommendation is to forget for a few weeks about the park, the toy library, birthdays or inviting your best friend to play at home.<\/p>\n

Activities to do at home during the school closure due to the coronavirus<\/h2>\n

\"activities<\/p>\n

It may not be possible for you to entertain the children at home during their isolation from the coronavirus crisis, especially if you have to work from home, but we assure you that there are activities you can have them do at home that you can have them do without leaving the house, beyond traditional board games.<\/p>\n

Rate these 10 fun activities to do at home to do with children during coronavirus isolation:<\/h2>\n

Drawing and crafts as activities to do at home<\/h3>\n

Yes, it may seem obvious, but drawing is one of the favourite activities of young children. You can print drawings of their favorite Disney characters or fashion series to play with them for a while. Mandalas can be a great option for older children, not only for fun but also for relaxation. On the Internet you have many resources and ideas, both for drawing and doing handicrafts with children of different ages.<\/p>\n

Yoga for children<\/h3>\n

If you are a yoga enthusiast, you can introduce your children to this sport that is so beneficial for body and mind. Through yoga, your children will reduce their stress and improve their concentration and creativity. You will find on Youtube many yoga videos for children with the most suitable exercises for each age.<\/p>\n

Performing arts as a activities to do at home<\/h3>\n

If your children are motivated by singing, dancing or theater, let them give free rein to the artist in them. In addition to having fun, they’ll get physical exercise and make up for the lack of activity at home. If they are more inclined to the theater, you can simulate a performance of their favourite story among family members. It will certainly be an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n

Cooking with the children<\/h3>\n

Children love to cook, even the youngest. Take advantage of these days to introduce them to the world of gastronomy, perhaps by preparing their favourite sponge cake or inventing a new pasta recipe. Perhaps you will discover that you have a little super chef at home. In addition to having fun, they’ll learn the importance of nutrition to stay healthy.<\/p>\n

New Readings<\/h3>\n

You can surprise your child with a new book for these days. In the online stores of major bookstores and entertainment stores, you have many options that you can buy without leaving home<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Help with household chores<\/h3>\n

Yes, it’s true, it may sound boring, but with so many hours of rest, it’s good that they take on some of the household chores. If your children are young, all they have to do is tidy up their room or clean up the dust. For older children, you can reserve tasks such as washing dishes or hanging out clothes. This way, they will occupy their free time, while becoming aware of the importance of sharing household chores.<\/p>\n

Clues games<\/h3>\n

They require more preparation time, but your children will have a lot of fun. You can play the typical game of hiding something for them to find or, if you have more time, hiding clues throughout the house that lead to a treasure, perhaps a chocolate bar or a small toy.<\/p>\n

Seeing cartoons<\/h3>\n

Television is generally the most common way to entertain children. It’s very convenient to press the button and leave the child on the couch to look at their favourite pictures. We’re not saying it’s bad, but it is if it’s done for a long time. Television can be a learning tool in these quarantine times.<\/p>\n

Plan the next trip together<\/h3>\n

Older children will enjoy planning the next family trip. These days, you may be able to decide on the next getaway, find accommodations and think about activities such as adventure sports or hiking.<\/p>\n

Educational videos<\/h3>\n

Even if they do not go to class, it is advisable not to disconnect completely. If they are already tired of going through the books and maps of the school, you can look for educational videos on the topics they work on in class, this way they will learn in a different way than usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
