Stay safe! Stay home!
In this global health crisis, it is more important than ever to keep ourselves and other people safe. Caring for children can be particularly challenging since the options for free time activities are limited.
Here are six ideas on how to make quarantine a little more fun for the kids:
1）Have a costume party
Dress-up fun! Whether they are princesses, fairies, or pirates, kids love to dress up and pretend to be some of their favorite movie characters.
2) Outdoor activities
Explore the interesting plants in the backyard. Maybe the kids already know the names of some flowers. Also, if your backyard is big enough, your kids would love to play some of their favorite sports against you. They might even beat you at soccer or basketball.
3) Play with pets
What kid doesn't love to run around and play “catch the ball” with their dog?
4) Bake cake
Include the kids when you are baking and they will add some extra food coloring to the cake… and possibly to the kitchen
5) Teach a foreign language
Perhaps your host kids have always wanted to know how to say “hello” in Chinese. Now is the perfect time to teach them a couple of words and say and see how proud they will be of their success. You can also work with a virtual tutor on ayiconnect.
6) Make music
Sing songs and play some instruments. You could even prepare a little concert for the parents.
AyiConnect is a platform to connect families with helpers who have a language specialty in addition to care. You can post a free job to engage with them through self-service or use concierge service. For self-service, you can even join in the discussion. The concierge service can provide another option to ensure successful matches for busy families who don't have time to search or need language assistance.
