Meditate with Kids

Children learn well with games and fun exercises so you can start by playing a game of who can be the quietest, or breathing exercises or meditation is one of the best Indoor Activities for Kids that incorporate following a fun rhythm or with playful music. You can start with just 5 minutes per day and gradually increase from there.

  1. Relax your body and begin to take deep inhales and slow exhales through the nose.
  2. Start to take a slow, deep breath to fill your belly up with air, as if you’re trying to blow up a big balloon. Expand your belly as much as you can.
  3. Slowly let the air out of the balloon (through the nose) as you release the breath from the belly.
  4. Encourage your kids to feel their entire body relax each time they exhale, each time air is slowly being released from the balloon. You can even make a “hissing” noise to encourage them to slow down the exhale even more, “Like letting air out of the balloon.”
  5. Continue for several minutes.

Reading Story – Easy Indoor Activities for Kids

Whether at school or at home, encourage your child to read along and turn reading time into a fun and effective reading game time is an easy indoor activities for kids. If it is a story that they have heard a lot of times before, they will repeat a lot of it from memory instead of actually reading the words. But this will help them associate the words to the sounds. This will also help you interact better with your child because they will feel involved and needed. Give them a reward, like their favorite snack, every time they read without making any mistakes. This will encourage them to improve and work harder.

Jigsaws puzzles and Legos

 We’ve all played with Legos, building blocks, and jigsaw puzzles, no matter what age. Let your kids make a tower, a robot or an aeroplane with Legos, so they can construct different structures and designs. While building blocks allow children to create anything from imagination, jigsaw puzzles are structured. Have them start with jigsaw puzzles that are easy to solve and then progress to more difficult ones. Doing this will help them hone critical problem-solving skills and strategic thinking.
