1. Explore the Explorer in Your Child
Surprise your child with your old digital camera or telephone with a camera in it.
Let them record the world trough their eyes, making snapshots of their room, toys, neighborhood or the nearby forest.
When inspiration is needed, you can give them assignments they have to fulfill.
You will be amazed of the perspective on subjects kids can have.
2. Have a Dinner Show
This is one of the best ideas to keep kids occupied during summer break.
Gather all the children of the neighborhood for the biggest dinner show of the street.
Let kids decide what acts they want to perform, belly dancing, play backing their favorite group or performing on their music instruments.
For weeks the children will be together, making the program and rehearsing.
All parents can have a barbecue during the finale.
3. Involve Them in Collective Art
Kids like to be creative.
Mostly a big sheet of paper and a few cans of paint will keep them busy for hours.
If painting gets boring, get them to glue extra objects on the paper.
Let them collect the objects yourself.
Give them a bag and after an hour your children will come home with bottle caps, leaves and who knows what.
4. Send Them to a Summer Camp
This is one of the most obvious ideas to keep kids occupied during summer break, but an effective one.
Summer camps are an unforgettable experience for kids.
Playing outside, having fun and making new friends from all over the country.
