Although a rainy day may appear cool and peaceful, the rain
may hinder plans of many families. However, do not let a few raindrops spoil
fun. Be creative and bring your family a fun day for rainy days. With a few
tips and ideas to engage your family in doing together, you will expect more
raindrops in the future.
Back to the drawing board
You need to
suggest that the family members manifest themselves through art.
You need to suggest that the family members manifest
themselves through art. Use mural-size plain white paper and stick it on a bare
wall in your house. Let each family member draw and color a picture with a
story. Once the painting is complete, let each person tell his or her own story
about each artwork. This gives your children a chance to manifest themselves
with expansive language that helps them tell their story.
Cooking
Let the kids
choose the menu, plan, prepare and organize a special family dinner for rainy
days.
Let the kids choose the menu, plan, prepare and organize a
special family dinner for rainy days. This is a great opportunity to work as a
team. Simultaneously, turn the project into a lesson, with math lessons while
measuring and pouring ingredients. Team cooperation brings kids a sense of
duty. This is truly what every child and adult desires.
Stepping back to the past
Bring about some
giggles and many memories on a rainy day by opening the old family videos.
Bring about some giggles and many memories on a rainy day by
opening the old family videos. The kids will enjoy seeing their younger
versions and their parents recorded on video over time. From musical
performances to gatherings on vacation, these videos also give parents an
opportunity to talk about the past, present and future while laughing at the
corny hairstyles and old-fashioned wardrobe.
Vigorous exercises
Try to engage your
kids in doing indoors exercises and interactive games.
A rainy day does not necessarily make your family
crest-fallen. Try to engage your kids in doing indoors exercises and
interactive games. Move the furniture away and create much space for some fun
exercises. From a yoga lesson for mom to a dance with the kids, your family is
able to keep following the old lifestyle despite the dark overcast skies.
Written amazing things
A rainy day is the
perfect opportunity to arouse the imagination of the family.
A rainy day is the perfect opportunity to arouse the
imagination of the family. Let your children's creative minds fly high by
compiling a story together. Brainstorm story ideas together, assign each family
member a part of the story and combine them with illustrations. Parents can
even paste the book to share it with family and friends.
