Nine Summer Water Games For Kids

Those kids of yours need to be always entertained and what's best, during this hot weather, than water games.

I- Have you ever realized how many summer games you can invent from a garden hose? Kids should know that it's a good idea to use an old hose for these activities. No matter how much fun they are, it's best to recycle an old hose, rather than modify a brand new one.

1- The Jumping Hose: You can run a strong stream and let the kids jump over it while you move it back and forth just like a jumping rope
2- Water-Limbo: The stream can be used as a limbo stick
3- Duct-Tape the holes:  Use an old leaky garden hose to play this game. Help your kid create holes every few inches down the length of the hose and your child's assignment is to try and repair it with duct tape while water is flowing out of the holes.

4- Homemade water slides: Put the slide on the edge of a small inflatable pool, and hang a garden hose on top of the slide and let the water stream run along the path to make it easier to slip :D Your child will have a blast.
5-Water Balls Flush: Use ropes to create a circle or square on your lawn. Place balls of varying sizes and weights inside. Give your child a hose and challenge her to push the balls out with the water in less than a minute.

II- Back yard bath:  Turn a chore into a family delight. Take advantage of a warm evening to bath  your kids outside all you need is a small pool filled with water and bubbles.

III- Water Balloons Fight: Who doesn't know that game! one of my favorites, just fill those balloons with water and  make a splash with this amazing summer game!

IV- Water Gun Fight: Let them put on their swimming suit and play tag.

V- A Prize In Ice: Put small treasures in your cube tray, add water and freeze. Then hand a cube to each kid and let it melt in his hand to get the prize.

Five ActivitiesTo Do With Your Kids During The Summer

63SHHH6FD43E
The summer vacation is a few days away and after nine long schooling months, your children will be expecting much. They have been waiting all year for those 90 days to rest, play and have the greatest summer ever. But after a couple of days, and if you didn't send them to summer camp, routine will kick in and they will spend most of their time infront of the TV, lying down on that couch, bored to death. They could play outside in the afternoons, but what else? What can we do to help them fill those 90 days and turn them into the most enjoyable, educational, fun adventure ever?

1- Decide to make a summer crafting project: Crafting is, without any contradicition, a very important activity. Your child will put his energy, mind and skills to finish his work. I asked my 4 years old  to choose between two crafting projects: an airpot and a farm. Well for some reason she decided that making an airport will be fun! During this summer we will keep you updated about our project, we will post how-to's crafting articles and show you step-by-step how to make an airport yourself!

2- Funny Scholastic Exercises: Make learning fun and help your child maintain the improvement he made during his school year. Review together all the topics he learned by creating an educational game or printing out enjoyable exercises. My daughter is in pre-school, and I will be posting the exercises that she'll work on this summer.

3- Cook together: When your children are involved in the kitchen they will eat better because they will feel more comfortable with your recipes, they will accept new ingredients since they have, step-by-step, followed and participated in the cooking procedure.
What I personally suggest, is for you to put a menu with two options and make them choose between those two. That way, they will feel that they are in control of that meal time that has always, or most of the times turned into a fight! They will be responsable of the choice they made and obligated to finish their plate. " You cannot be a chef if you don't taste and eat everything" this sentence always work with my daughter since she loves being a chef like her father. And even though she was one heck of a picky eater now she eats everything and tastes everything. Check out our recipes they could be useful since they are easy, quick and healthy!

4- Play dates: Before school is over make sure to take her best friends phone numbers, talk to their parents and schedule a play date every week or two. You will help your children, especially if they are young like mine, stay in contact with their friends; that way going back to school won't be as hard as it is expected to be.

5- Organize family trips: trips to the beach, to the mountain, family picnics, or camping trips. A time spent with the family is always treasured.
