Confinement is not obvious to anyone, especially children who get stuck overnight at home. To occupy your makeshift companions during this strange period, and allow them to think of something else, we offer you 10 activities that do not require a screen.
To allow your little ones to work out, while being creative, it is possible to do activities without a screen that only require energy (a lot of energy). These games can be done at home with the family and most importantly, you will not need to go outside. Here is our little list:
- Make an imaginary object
To stimulate your children's creativity, imagination and fine motor skills, you can challenge your little ones! For this activity, you must make an object using items found at home. Please note, it will then be necessary to defend the usefulness of its creation before an impartial jury, that is to say, the parents.
How about working as a team? Instead of drawing each on its own, you can pool your creative minds to make a work that looks like you. Whether with pencils, paint or even swelling paint.
- Make a funny face contest
Who will be the most awful? To relax as much as possible, we suggest you make a funny face contest. To make the rules harder, the funny face can be made in the form of a riddle, so you will have to guess the person, animal or object that you imitate.
- Pick up items in the house
It's no longer possible to get busy with extra-curricular activities, but our children can still do it at home. For this game, you should expect a lot of noise, of course, but it will allow your kids to release all their energy. The goal, to find an object in the house which corresponds to the criteria which you will have chosen beforehand, it could be a shoe, like a bandage or even a book. You can also make it a fun activity, by asking your children to look for an object starting with a specific letter, which will help them to enrich their vocabulary as well as the understanding of the language.
Balance will be the key word in this game, for this activity, you must imitate a person, an animal or even an object, all while remaining in balance. To increase the level of difficulty, you can stay balanced on one foot or by raising both arms.
Back to immediate childhood! The goal of the game is always the same, everyone has to place a chair to form a circle, then you have to turn around until the end of the melody. Attention, remember to leave a certain distance between the chairs, to avoid tensions.
And were we disguised as our favorite heroes? For this activity, you will have to dress up with the items available to you at home, and especially come back before the end of the music!
- Make a giant choreography
We reassure you, no need to know how to dance to play this game, you just need to have good coordination between its movements. For this activity, you don't need a choreographer, everyone can add their own touch by adding small steps. You can also mix genres by doing hip-hop, classical or modern jazz dance.
For this activity, you will have to use your imagination. From a single word, you will have to invent a fantastic story or one inspired by your daily life at home. A great alternative to classic stories.
This is the game of all of us, but this time it will be changed a bit. To play it, even if you do not have the game at home, you can dress up yourself, using different accessories such as a hat, a coat or even your hair in a particular way.
