Create your own mini-theater on the table!
You should start by creating a script. In advance, consider with the child what will be the basis of your little scene. It can be one of the famous fairy tales, but it will be better to think up with your own unique story. Characters for presentation can be drawn together with the child on paper, then carefully cut and pasted onto cardboard.
All preparations can take a lot of time, but they perfectly develop fine motor skills. Also from the cardboard it will be possible to build the decorations themselves. Finally, the scene is ready! For the audience can act family members, or you can just collect toys and arrange them in front of the stage. Representation is played by moving the figures on the table. You can voice several heroes at once. Trust the kid to "stay" with one of the heroes, speak for him - it develops speech, memory, and imagination.
Let the child be your fitness instructor!
The conditions of this entertaining and useful game are as follows: the child will show you various exercises that can only come to his head, and you will obediently repeat them. You can play this game in the street, on the playground. But at home you can create an impromptu fitness club. It will be more interesting if you do exercises in front of a large mirror, to music, using auxiliary means - a ball, a rope or a stick.
Game "Treasure Hunt"
You will have to work hard beforehand, but in the end you will get interesting and memorable entertainment. It starts with the creation of a very simplified apartment scheme (it is desirable to make it color, so the child will have more fun studying it). If you show a little imagination, you can get a semblance of a real pirate map! Let the water-filled bath become a quiet harbor, the kitchen - a place to store pirate supplies, the bedroom - a wild jungle, and the living room - a sandy beach. Then it will remain just to hide somewhere "treasure" (they may have something tasty, new pencils, paints, plasticine or a toy) and tasks on the way to it.
On the map, mark the location of the first task, after which the place will be indicated, where the following is hidden. Explain to the kid the meaning of your card, and - forward, in search of treasure!
A similar game, by the way, can be held at any children's holiday. Including in the New Year! The children's company will rapturously run around the apartment looking for "treasure." As a treasure it will be possible to hide symbolic gifts for every little guest.
Arrange a real concert!
The main thing is to think in advance of the "number" with the child. Make a props of old dresses and other items that have already served their own. You can dance, sing, perform gymnastic numbers, read poems or show tricks. There certainly will be a way out of the irrepressible energy and imagination of the little artist. In addition, such games develop the creative potential of the smallest as well as older children!
Write a picture together with a small child
But it will not be just drawing. The main condition: let each one in turn depict on the sheet one element of the picture. The plot will be formed during the course of drawing. Play with the child in this game at any time - it perfectly develops the imagination. The picture will be vivid, bright and can fully become an exhibit in your wall gallery in the children's room.
Game "Traffic Light"
Who does not remember this fussy and fussy game, so amusing us sometime. Space (any of the rooms in the house) is visually divided into equal halves. In the middle becomes the leader, he turns around with his back to the players and thinks out any color aloud. Those who have this color on themselves (you can show on yourself or on something that is with you - a handkerchief, trifles in your pockets, etc.), they pass to the other half of the field. Those who have not declared color, should try to run past the leader to the other side, so that they are not caught.
To take during the game and bring any things with you after the color is declared is prohibited. You can only show those colors on yourself, which were with you when the game started. As soon as the child gets into the excitement and begins to screech from you to the other half of the playing field, this game will be an excellent alternative to entertainment on the street.
As you can see from the proposed, you can play with little fidgets in anything. And these games will be typed not less than entertainment in the nearest park, from simple soap bubble competitions in the bathroom to sewing out outfits for dolls. More imagination, and you will certainly find a way to take your baby at home, in any bad weather. Fun for you and a dull time!
