10 Ideas For Indoor Activities For Kids

By:


Here are my 10 indoor activities for kids:

1. Story Time
Grab some childrens books from your local library. Read the book to your child. Make this a daily habit. Visit the library every week and read a book every day. Reading books to your child is the best gift you can give your child.

2. Dress Up Box
Sort through all the old clothes. There are bound to be clothes that outrageous clothes that don't belong in your wardrobe any more. Put these clothes in your dress up box. Your child can hours of fun by playing dress ups.

3. Kitchen Cooking
Look for some good simple recipes for cakes, snacks etc. Let your child help you make those or let your child be the main chef and you help him around. Kids love this activity and they will also usually love to eat what they made.

4. Board Games
Buy some good age appropriate board games. These are always helpful on a rainy day.

5. Gardening
Get them to help you in your garden. Buy some kids garden gloves and watering can get them plant some seeds they will love watching it grow. Their sense of pride will increase because they created something from scratch.

6. Treasure Hunt Fun
This can be done either inside your house or in your garden. Hide some small items either toys or sweets in various places. Draw up maps with "X Marks the Spot" Keep the directions simple and easy.

7. 20 Questions
Everyone writes down a secret word the word must be a name of an object. The others ask 20 questions and try and guess the word. This is actually heaps and heaps of fun both for kids and adults.

8. Alphabet Soup
Take turns to come up with words beginning with various letters of the alphabet.If you start with A,then the next person has to come up with a word starting with B and so on and so forth...

9. Word Play
This one is really good for preschool kids kids getting ready to read or spell. Start with one word and then the next person has to come up with a word starting with the sound that the first word ended in.

10. Indoor Golf
Get kids to run through the house and create their own golf course. Use toys, bathroom stuff, kitchen utensils or anything else at hand to create the "holes" and routes.

Small plastic golf sets are easy to come by in most toy shops, and they're usually extremely cheap. Give you child a treat once they reach the end of the course.
