INDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR TWEENS
Don’t miss out on the following activities to help keep your preteen busy and entertained for a long time. Remember that if he has moments of boredom that is not bad at all, because he must also learn to be well on his own without you having to tell him what to do.
Movement!
Even if your child has to be home for a few weeks, that is no reason to be inactive indoors. There are many games that offer children the opportunity to dance, exercise, and burn some calories. Even if you don’t have such games, you can find instructional videos on YouTube and you can motivate your child to be physically active by dancing, doing yoga, or creating their own aerobic workout.
Make a fort
It’s always fun to grab all the spare sheets and blankets and make a fort. Teenagers haven’t grown out of the strength phase yet … They still enjoy it. Help your child create a really cool fort by removing furniture and making room for their special place. Brooms and furniture can help keep the fort up high, and once it’s ready for use, ask him to put pillows and blankets inside to keep him comfortable.
To read!?
Reading doesn’t have to be mandatory … reading is a pleasure! And it is a leisure activity loved by many. It is true that children have to read at school, but it is important that they learn to read for fun.
One of the best indoor activities available to any child is a good book. If your child doesn’t have a book to read, you can visit the library or bookstore to make inexpensive selections. If you need inspiration, you can search online reading lists for suggestions on books he might like.
Write a letter
Yes, a real letter. It is not an email. When the weather is uncooperative, grab a pen and some stationery, think of someone important to you, and write a letter. You can write to grandparents who live far away or even write a letter to a local politician about a cause or problem that is important to him.
Another option is to find a pen pal that your child can write to regularly. Writing is a great opportunity for your child to learn how to communicate and share these thoughts and feelings with others.
Creativity to power!
Crafts are a great way to keep kids busy when it’s cold or raining outside. You have to make sure that you have everything to be able to be creative. It wouldn’t hurt to have a book or two handy to help your child learn how to tackle a new skill, like knitting or crocheting. Craft kits are also a must-have for your supply closet.
Can be your helper
Tweens like to help (those who are less lazy) and you can use that enthusiasm to complement a project or two at home. Ask him to help you organize a closet or clean out the toy chest . This way he will be entertained and you will keep him busy while helping you keep things more organized in the home.
