ArtXCore Arts And Crafts

activities kids like to do???

im starting a job as a recreation leader for 8-12 year olds. my boss said it would be a good idea to come up with games or creative activities (Arts And Crafts etc.) to keep them entertained when we have free time. what r some things you think they would like to do?

If you have a bunch of kids, some kind of sports game is always good, like kick ball or basketball. You should have a schedule and keep them busy.

A movie or short DVD is always a lifesaver!

Kids also like to “cook”. Making cookies or “kick the can ice cream” stuff is great!

You could also do “environmental stuff” like leaf or bug collecting.

good luck, I’m sure you’ll be great!

25 Things to Do When Grandpa Passes Away, Mom and Dad Get Divorced, or the Dog Dies: Activities to Help Children Suffering Loss or Change $39.86 Kids need ways to acknowledge death and loss–and they need to express their sense of grief physically. Some children need activities we consider traditional: they conduct ceremonies or write letters to the people they’ve lost. Others, full of the anger that is a normal stage of grief, need to pound and punch, run and jump. Yet others express their grief through art. This book combines a description of the grieving process with directions for activities that help bereaved children. Kanyer explains the value of each activity so parents and caregivers can select appropriate projects based on the child’s age, loss and stage in the grieving process. She also discusses how learning about grief prepares children for new relationships and to accept losses later in life. Laurie Kanyer is a Yakima, Washington educational consultant who specializes in human development across the lifespan. She is also the parenting columnist for the Yakima Herald-Republic. This book evolved from her research on how people parent when they are suffering a life-threatening illness.
