Activities and Games for Children

Hello Parents,

I am sharing below a few activities and games which the children can perform and enjoy during the phase of social distancing and staying indoors. A few of these are also good for the grown-ups or the parents.

Board games

Snakes and ladders, Ludo, Chess, Chinese chequers, Scrabble, Cluedo, Monopoly, Pitureka

Other indoor games

Treasure hunt on a theme inside the house; Jenga; Dumb charades based on names of countries, Name, place, animal, thing; Antakshari; Card games

Jumping jacks, mountain climbers, plank-hold, planks with a clap, Burpees, and dancing, these are physical activities that help in keeping the physical energies of the children engaged.

It is also a good time now to equip children with age-appropriate life skills, such as, making the bed, preparing a sandwich, cleaning their cupboards, organising their study tables, acquiring healthy personal hygiene habits, laying the dinning table, enhancing reading skills.

I hope that these are of help to you and your family.
