Of course, collecting bags at the dacha, you must take all sorts of games: badminton, flying saucers, ball, darts ... However, even such impressive equipment will not provide a decent leisure for the child. Children in the country need to do - play with them, connect them to work around the house or garden, entertain, put on performances and let them fantasize ... Children's games in the fresh air - the topic of the article.
A Little Helper
From an early age, children should be connected to the work of adults. The kid is sure to like helping you take care of the beds. Buy him garden tools, watering can and tell me what to do. It's good to give the child his own garden. Discuss with him what exactly he will plant, what kind of garden crops look like, how they should be watered ... With older children (from 5 years old), one can keep a diary of observations, make passports for plants, collect herbarium. Going for mushrooms in the forest or for milk in the village, do not forget to bring your baby. In the forest, he will be interested in new trees, you can show how different young trees differ from adults, listen to the singing of birds, collect berries, mushrooms. And in the village, he will be pleased to get acquainted with chicken, geese, cows, goats and horses.
Sports Equipment
Of course, the more various games and devices for them you take to the country, the easier it will be for you to organize the leisure of the baby. Just do not expect that your child will occupy himself. Prepare to play badminton, tennis (big or table tennis), football and volleyball, throw plates, ride a bicycle (well, or run alongside) and even stand on your head (in case you want to learn children's yoga with a baby). A great way to entertain a kid is to put him a sandbox (you can make it yourself or buy a ready-made form), a swimming pool, and a whole children's playground (children love swings, slides, hammocks and, of course, their own small houses-teremki). I must say, with some effort, and a hill, and a house, and a swing, you can build yourself. The main thing is to choose the necessary drawing and a guide to action - there are a lot of them in magazines and on the Internet - and stock up with the necessary amount of materials and patience (among other things, you can draw a kid to a building - he can serve nails or help paint). However, if this option is not "about you", all the same you can buy in stores (the benefit now you can find anything you like).
Games in which children play
Leisure with a grandmother or mom is one thing, but your kid should develop social skills, learn to be friends and communicate with peers. If your child hesitates to get acquainted with other children, help him to do it. Invite neighbor children to your site, arrange contests, barbecues and outdoor sports events. You will not notice how the little ones get along and start meeting each day. However, the fact that your child has a friend (or a whole company) is not yet an occasion to provide them to themselves. Tell them the games or help improve those in which they play. Children are keen on Indians? So, make them the appropriate costumes, stretch the bow and teach them how to make potions (from all sorts of grass and dirt). The main thing is not to get what the guys do. Do kids go crazy with knights? Cut out swords with them and make armor out of cardboard ... Well, finally, organize a real summer theater. Choose together some fairy tale, distribute roles, sew costumes, draw scenery and invite other parents to the premiere. This summer your child is unlikely to forget!
In bad weather
If it rains at the dacha, do not use the TV. Bad weather is an excellent time for table games by the whole family, as well as joint reading of books and preparation of complex dishes, which are simply not reached in hot days. In rainy weather, work together with the child modeling (for example, from a salted dough), drawing, make applications, master the technique of origami or teach him how to knit and embroider. Dads or grandfathers can teach an adolescent son to work with an ax, saw, or arrange a mini forge. These skills will be useful to the future man and will give him a lot of fun. The main thing is security measures! Try to keep the baby stroller in the air. It is better to put it in the shade and always cover it with a mosquito net. If your baby has already started to crawl, do not limit it to an arena or a special rug. Let him go to the weed - in the opinion of pediatricians, this will be a powerful stimulus for the child's tactile development. "Pack" your baby in a sling and walk with him through the garden and the house, allowing you to touch anything he wants. Tell the child how the trees, bushes, birds, animals, materials are called. Any action should be turned into a game. If your baby has just learned to walk and is still afraid to do it, stimulate his interest. Sprinkle the sand on the plot and patch the interesting path, asking the youngster to follow your footsteps. For an older child, you can come up with the game "Treasure". Get a new toy somewhere, draw a treasure map and come up with a series of tips. The kid will be delighted to find his toy.
