Fun Summer Learning Activities for Your Kids and Teens | Learning ...

Are your kids bored yet?

That happens in the summertime.

Kids are always so excited for summer break, but after it gets here, they become blas?. That?s because they are no longer being kept busy.

People are meant to be engaged in something, be it learning, play, or work.

So why not engage your children in some fun summer learning activities?

Careful though. You don?t want to make the learning obvious. That would turn them off.

You want to hide it in a fun activity like acquiring a new and interesting skill.

Summer is the perfect time for this and there are plenty of skills to choose from.

Coming up you will find some tips for how to learn a new skill and a list of skills your child or teen could learn.

But first?

What to Consider

When you?re going through the list, don?t forget to think about these things:

• Age appropriateness. I wouldn?t want a five-year-old changing the oil on my car.
• What is available to you. If you don?t live near a large body of water, then sailing is probably out.
• Your child?s interests. Don?t sign your child up for knitting classes if she hates knitting. Let her have a say in the matter.

Pondering these points will help make things go a little more smoothly.

Now, how does your child learn about this new interest?

How to Learn a New Skill

In the old days, you had to apprentice to a master to learn a new craft. Nowadays, there are many ways to acquire a new skill. Here are some possibilities.

You?ll want to think about one more thing.

?What the most practical way is for my child to learn the new skill??

Photography could be learned from a book, but sailing should be learned from a trained professional.

Enough said. Let?s get on with the list.
