When the holidays begin, it doesn’t matter, in winter or summer, schoolchildren have a lot of free time, most of which they spend on a computer and TV. And it is not so easy to tear a child from the screen and monitor. What activities for schoolchildren can be offered to make them interested, in return for electronic entertainment? There are a lot of them.
What will interest a younger student?
Among the cultural and recreational activities during the holidays, many can be organized by yourself, adding a little imagination.
A trip to the city zoo is an interesting event for younger students, especially if the zoo hosts various holidays or animal birthdays. You can present a treat every time to the next birthday person as a gift.
Collect bored kids and play the most popular games from the childhood of parents and grandmothers: gum, bouncer, elephant, chains, edible, inedible, and others.
So that the children do not get bored, parents can arrange the following activities on vacation. You can invite your child’s friends together with your parents. Then you can arrange a family football match, as well as a darts battle or bag jumping.
The participation of the child in any group, games with peers will help develop communication skills, find common interests, as well as best friends.
And if teachers agree with the management of various enterprises and take the children there, the children will be very happy about this. Such events may include trips to the confectionery factory, to the production of ice cream, the factory of Christmas tree decorations, a bakery and many others. The children will see with their own eyes how a freshly baked bun is born, how a caramel or chocolate mass flows and how skillfully machine guns and professionals in such factories are wielding. And glassblowers, together with artists, will amaze the children with their skill and creativity, making Christmas tree decorations.
Camp - a find for busy parents
A child can be sent to a camp where he certainly will not be bored among his peers, and his parents can not be nervous about his leisure time. Often in the summer, daytime camps are recruited. Carefully thought out cultural and entertainment events, trips, thematic scenarios for the personal and creative development of each child, active and intellectual games - all this will help to spend time both with benefit and fun.
In addition to school, there are now many other theme camps, from sports to language ones. In them, children not only relax in comfortable conditions, gain strength physically, but also learn foreign languages, learn to be successful and sociable, learn a lot of new and interesting things. Entire event scenarios are being developed for students of different ages. Many guys after the camp remain friends, communicate with each other and strive to return to their favorite places again next summer.
Workshop Week
Among school events, 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 of the lessons at the school will be taught by famous people, masters of their craft, and bright professionals. You can invite a famous athlete or trainer to a physical education lesson, a real guide will conduct a history lesson, a real physicist will tell about physical phenomena, and a chemist will show the most interesting experiments.
The pastry chef 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 to the most interesting professions. Such lessons will be remembered by everyone without exception, and maybe they will affect the choice of a future profession.
Letter to the future
Great idea for graduation class. High school students should write a creative letter with forecasts and wishes for the future, which they then leave at school or seal and hide until a certain date after 5-10-20 years. The letter is created in the form of a collage, 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 real successes with the planned ones. This will be a great motivation for each participant.
Alley of the passing childhood
The most useful and noble of the activities for students. One spring day, high school students together with the leshoz 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 wonderful time between kindergarten time and students. Schoolchildren can no longer be so struck and ridiculed as naive kids, you can only play a little. And since they are cheerful people and do not mind playing friends and teachers themselves, you can often arrange such entertaining school events as KVN, fun festivals, all kinds of contests and quizzes. For example, April Fools Day can be held according to a certain scenario.
Laugh Day Scenario
The whole school is preparing in advance for the event, so that on April 1 you can determine the winners of 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.
On the front door of the school you can stick an ad “Do not enter without a smile”, call the dressing room “The Lost World”, the director's office - “Room of fear”, and the head teacher's office - “Flight debriefing room”. Rename the teacher’s room into the “Terrarium of like-minded people”, the chemistry room into the “Narcolaboratory”, the geography cabinet into the Travel Agency, and write at the first-aid post “Whoever didn’t run away, we’ll reach it.” The gym can be renamed “Eatery”. At the entrance to the dining room write “Refueling Hall”.
Holding a school line should also be special on this day. Each class will be tasked to build on a ruler according to special rules:
- primary grades are built by weight;
- the middle classes line up along the length of the hair;
- high school - in alphabetical order;
- graduates to build on the results of exams;
- teachers line up for growth.
The reward will be given to the team that will cope with this task faster.
Lotteries, contests, humor, quizzes on April Fool's Day can be thought of. At the end of the holiday, the winner class is awarded the challenge cup of the young comedian, and the best participants are awarded tickets for a comedy film or a comedy show. One condition - jokes should not be offensive, funny and funny.
A film about his class
Surely each of the classmates has preserved videos or photos of interesting events from school life, and for the graduation from them, you can make a film about the class as a whole and about each separately. From the collected material, you can mount a video about the growth and maturation of each. This takes time and a creative, collaborative approach, the film can be voiced, talk about each of the classmates. The work is not easy, but the result will exceed all expectations and will be interesting to everyone - both teachers and parents, and, of course, the matured students themselves.
Going camping
When a dusty city causes irritation, and the soul breaks into uncharted paths, high school students go camping. These are unforgettable events for schoolchildren and not only. Will it be a 10-day route through the endless Carpathians or a weekend run through the neighboring forest, the hike always leaves the best memories in our memory if you prepare for it properly. Merging with nature, understanding the world, broadening one's horizons, developing endurance, mutual assistance, and independence - the advantages of tourism can hardly be overestimated. Often, teachers organize such school events themselves that children simply adore. Going with classmates or friends on a hike, you should consider the main factors of preparation for a meeting with nature:
- You will need suitable hiking shoes and clothes.
- It should stock up on any remedy for mosquitoes and ticks.
Going on a hike, you should not forget about the first-aid kit with the most necessary medicines, such as iodine and brilliant green, ammonia, potassium permanganate, a rubber tourniquet, sterile bandages and cotton wool, an antipyretic, Validol, nitroglycerin, painkillers, medicines for indigestion and stomach cramps .
Variety of activities
When preparing for school activities, it should be remembered that for any of them an interesting scenario should be devised. Nowadays, school parties have become very popular, the scripts of which are based on interesting scenes from favorite TV shows, films and cartoons, where famous heroes are involved. You need to arrange fun events, invent holidays that are not on the calendar, arrange flash mobs and many other dance competitions with different styles of dance.
KVN is a fun, exciting game that is quite suitable for schoolchildren. Who else but schoolchildren notice all the interesting events of school life? Only they, with their irrepressible imagination, will notice the funniest facts happening around. KVN is rather a way of life, and if schoolchildren begin to play it, they should feel the most cheerful and resourceful.
The quest is one of the interesting events 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, being attentive and quick-witted.
There are a lot of activities for schoolchildren, not all of them can be listed, the main condition is that the children should be interested, because each of them is a personality, albeit a growing one. Movable, active or desktop intellectual - all these entertainments will not only brighten up leisure time and will not let you get bored, but will also help to acquire new skills that will be useful in adulthood. The main thing is not to let the mind and body be lazy and continue to improve in the future, leaving the school walls.
