Encourage the children both intellectually and physically
We intentionally put together games that simultaneously stimulate children physically and intellectually. Both are very important if you stay at home for a long time. Demanding pursuits break the habit of squatting in front of the TV or computer games. You might also be able to avoid overeating. Furthermore, our games are suitable for a larger and smaller number of participants.
By the way, you could also make something active out of the passive games! Make up some funny "pen alties" for the losers! For example, you could sing or dance something. Such games allow the participation of parents and other adults. After all, every joint handicraft and decorating is to be seen as an Easter game.
The main thing is that you ensure variety, a good mood and a feeling of togetherness!
You could organize a game together after decorating!
You could do something like that handicrafts with the children as well
