When the holidays start, it doesn't matter if it's winter or summer, schoolchildren have a lot of free time, most of which they spend at the computer and TV. And it is not so easy to tear the child away from the screen and monitor. What activities can be offered for schoolchildren to make them interested, instead of electronic entertainment? There are quite a few of them.
What will interest a younger student?
Among the cultural and entertainment activities during the holidays, many can be organized by yourself with a little imagination.
A trip to the city zoo is an interesting event for younger students, especially if the zoo holds various holidays or celebrates animal birthdays. You can give treats to the next birthday as a gift each time.
Gather the bored kids andplay the most popular games from the childhood of parents and grandmothers: rubber band, bouncer, elephant, chains, edible-inedible and others.
So that the children do not get bored, parents can arrange the following activities during the holidays. You can invite friends of the child to visit, together with the parents. Then you can arrange a football family match, as well as a darts battle or sack jumping.
Child's participation in any group, games with peers will help develop communication skills, find common interests, as well as best friends.
And if teachers come to an agreement with the management of various enterprises and take the children there, the children will be very happy about this. Such events can be trips to a confectionery factory, an ice cream factory, a Christmas decorations factory, a bakery, and many others. The children will see with their own eyes how a freshly baked bun is born, how the caramel or chocolate mass flows, and how skillfully automatic machines and professionals operate in such factories. And glass blowers, together with artists, will impress the kids with their skill and creativity, making Christmas tree decorations.
Camp is a godsend for busy parents
A child can be sent to a camp where he will definitely not be bored among his peers, and parents may not be nervous about his leisure time. Often in the summer day school camps are recruited. Carefully thought-out cultural and entertainment events, trips, thematic scenarios for the personal and creative development of everyonechildren, active and intellectual games - all this will help to spend time both usefully and fun.
In addition to school camps, there are now a lot of other thematic camps, from sports to language. In them, children not only relax in comfortable conditions, strengthen physically, but also learn foreign languages, learn to be successful and sociable, learn a lot of new and interesting things. Entire scenarios of events for schoolchildren of different ages are being developed. Many guys after the camp remain friends, communicate with each other and strive to return to their favorite places again next summer.
Week of workshops
Among school activities, holding such a week or even one day will be very interesting. The idea of the event is that this week or several days some lessons at the school will be taught by famous people, masters of their craft, bright professionals. You can invite a famous athlete or coach to a physical education lesson, a real guide will give a history lesson, a real physical practitioner will tell about physical phenomena, and a chemist will show the most interesting experiments.
A confectioner will teach girls how to decorate cakes, and an experienced carpenter will give the boys a master class on creating miracles from wood. You can invite workers of the most interesting professions. Such lessons will be remembered by everyone without exception, and maybe they will influence the choice of a future profession.
Letter to the future
Great idea for the senior class. High school students should composea creative letter with predictions and wishes for the future, which is then left at school or sealed and hidden until a certain date 5-10-20 years later. The letter is created in the form of a collage, a newspaper, decorated with photographs and drawings. The main thing is to capture on it the entire composition of the class with its features, wishes and dreams. It is interesting to read such a letter at the anniversary meeting and compare the real successes with the planned ones. This will be a great motivation for each participant.
Alley of outgoing childhood
The most useful and noble of activities for schoolchildren. One spring day, high school students, together with the forestry enterprise, plant an alley of outgoing childhood, give it a name that reflects the nature of the class. In the future, you can bring your children and even grandchildren to such an alley.
School years are a great time between kindergarten time and students. Schoolchildren can no longer be so amazed and laughed at as naive kids, you can only play a little. And since they are cheerful people and are not averse to pranking friends and teachers themselves, you can often arrange such entertaining school events as KVN, fun festivals, all kinds of competitions and quizzes. For example, April Fool's Day on April 1 can be held according to a certain scenario.
April Fool's Day Scenario
The whole school is preparing in advance for the event, so that on April 1 it will be possible to determine the winners in the competition for the funniest collage, decorate the corridors with funny posters, comic arrows and cartoons, and name all school classes and rooms with funny names.
At the front door of the school, you can stick a notice “Do not enter without a smile”, call the dressing room “The Lost World”, the director’s office - the “Room of fear”, and the office of the head teacher - the “Debriefing room”. Rename the teacher's room into the "Terrarium of like-minded people", the chemical office - into the "Drug laboratory", the geography office - into the "Travel Agency", and write at the first-aid post - "Who did not run away, we will treat him." The gym can be renamed to "Eatery". At the entrance to the dining room, write "Refueling Hall".
Holding a school assembly should also be special on this day. Each class will be tasked to line up on a ruler according to special rules:
- primary classes line up by weight;
- middle classes line up by hair length;
- high school - in alphabetical order;
- graduates line up on the results of exams;
- teachers line up by height.
The team that completes this task faster will receive the reward.
You can come up with a lot of pranks, contests, humor, quizzes on April Fool's Day. Based on the results of the holiday, the winning class is awarded a challenge cup of a young humorist, and the best participants are awarded tickets for a comedy film or a humorous show. One condition - jokes should not be offensive, cheerful and funny.
A film about my class
Surely each of my classmates has videos or photos of interesting events from school life, and by the end of them you can make a film about the class as a whole and about each one separately. From the collectedmaterial, you can mount a video about the growth and maturation of each. This requires time and a creative joint approach, the film can be voiced, told about each of the classmates. The work is not easy, but the result will exceed all expectations and will be of interest to everyone - teachers, parents, and, of course, the matured students themselves.
Going on a hike
When a dusty city causes irritation, and the soul rushes to uncharted paths, high school students are going on hikes. These are unforgettable events for schoolchildren and not only. Whether it's a 10-day route through the endless Carpathians or a weekend run through a nearby forest, a trip always leaves the best memories in your memory if you prepare for it properly. Merging with nature, understanding the world, broadening one's horizons, developing endurance, mutual assistance, independence - the advantages of tourism can hardly be overestimated. Often teachers themselves organize such school events that children simply adore. When going on a hike with classmates or friends, you should consider the main factors in preparing for a meeting with nature:
- You will need suitable hiking shoes and clothing.
- You should stock up on any mosquito and tick repellant.
When going camping, one should not forget about the first aid kit with the most necessary medicines, such as iodine and brilliant green, ammonia, potassium permanganate, rubber tourniquet, sterile bandages and cotton wool, antipyretic, validol, nitroglycerin, painkillers, medicines for disorders andstomach cramps.
Variety of activities
When preparing for school events, you should remember that for any of them an interesting scenario must be invented. Now school parties have become very popular, the scripts of which are based on interesting stories from favorite TV shows, films and cartoons, where heroes known to everyone are involved. You need to arrange fun events, come up with holidays that are not on the calendar, arrange flash mobs and many other dance competitions with different dance styles.
KVN is a fun, exciting game that is quite suitable for schoolchildren. Who but schoolchildren notice all the interesting events of school life? Only they, with their indefatigable imagination, will notice the funniest facts that are happening around. KVN is more of a way of life, and if schoolchildren start playing it, they should feel the most cheerful and resourceful.
Quest is one of the interesting activities during the holidays, this is a team game in which the guys are the main characters of an exciting story and they have to get out of a closed room, solving puzzles, puzzles, showing care and ingenuity.
There are a lot of events for schoolchildren, it is impossible to list them all, the main condition is that the children should be interested, because each of them is a person, even if he is growing up. Mobile, active or desktop intellectual - all these entertainments will not only brighten up your leisure time and keep you from getting bored, but will also help you acquire new skills that will come in handy in adulthood. The main thing is not to let the mind and body be lazy and continueto improve in the future, leaving the school walls.
