Summer time is fun time. Enjoy this season by participating in lots of fun activities and spending more time with your child. Here are some activities that will help you spend this time in a very enjoyable way. 1. Read Books in English Have fun reading or telling stories with your child. As they read, let them point to the pictures and talk about what is happening to the characters and which character he or she likes best. Children learn by example. Read along with your child. Be sure to read with lots of enthusiasm!!Create a special place for your child to read that is well lit and comfortable.

Set a family “Game Night.” It's a great way to break up the monotony of the routines. Family time should be fun. It is fun playing Board Games. Board GamesMonoply, Chinese Checkers, Scrabble, Ludo and Snakes and Ladders. 3. Watch TV along with your child Television can be instructive and entertaining for children of all ages, and can promote positive aspects of social behaviour such as sharing, good manners, and cooperating with others. In addition, quality programming should spur a child's curiosity and eagerness to learn. You can prescreen videos—and you can even prescreen TV shows by reviewing them before letting your child watch them. But you can't properly monitor children's TV programs unless you at least occasionally watch the same TV shows or videos that your child watches. 4. Go Play Outside! Kids of all ages can learn a lot about their connection to the natural world. By exploring what's around them, kids begin to develop investigative skills which will help them later when they have to grasp many different science and math concepts. Hide-and-seek, camouflage, and blindfold walks are some good traditional games you can play with your kids. 5. Cooking is fun! Kids absolutely love to cook; they can’t get enough of sieving, kneading, rolling, measuring and mixing. It’s hugely important to catch them at this young age when they are still really enthusiastic, to lay the foundation for a life-long love of food and cooking, to develop good eating habits in a fun and engaging way. 6. Caring for the environment Set an example to your kid by taking care of plants and animals around you. You along with your kid can plant a sapling and take good care of it. Keep a bowl of fresh water every day for birds and animals to quench their thirst in the scorching heat. 7. REVISE all the work done in class, in all subjects.
