Summer is coming up, and that means that you will need to find activities to do with your children! Instead of focusing the entire time on COGAT study, you can entertain your children. Here are 6 tips on things to do with your children.
- Read a book: This is a great suggestion because it also helps your child for the COGAT exam. If they are too young to read alone, then you can read together, and spend some more time together.
- Act out a book: Does your child have a favorite book? You can re-enact it together on a rainy day. Have your child assign parts and they will learn confidence that will help them in the COGAT test.
- Make a blanket fort: Nothing makes a child happier than creating a blanket fort! They will be able to practice their visual-spatial skills, great for a child preparing for the COGAT.
- Have an indoor picnic or a tea party: Allow your child to create the menu and set the table. Your children will have fun sitting on the floor. Then they will be able to focus on COGAT study.
- Have them help you with chores: Sometimes younger children find it a blast to help mommy do her chores but even older children can benefit from helping mom around the house doing chores. They will learn that not everyday can be all fun and games, and that will benefit their COGAT preparation.
- Play dance party: A fun game that will stimulate your children and get some of their excess energy out. Play their favorite music and either play it while they dance or make it freeze dance. Whenever you stop the music, they must freeze! Great to teach your children how to follow direction, which is good for COGAT study.
