In addition, it is an ideal day to disconnect from your cell phone, computer and other electronics and focus your attention on for the little ones and what they most like to do with their friends, neighbors on the street or condominium, cousins, or classmates. school. Regardless of the activity chosen, the important thing is to be present and escape the tiring routine of everyday life.
With that in mind, we at Escola Educação selected the best pranks to do on children's day. Set up your script right now and guarantee unforgettable moments with the little ones.
One of the games preferred by children, precisely because it represents a great adventure, is camping. And it doesn't have to be outdoors! With tents, sheets and mats, even a small apartment can be turned into a campsite. Make the place as cozy as possible so that the little ones can spend the night in the camp.
It is indicated for those who have a class with several members, whether they are friends, cousins, schoolmates or neighbors. Parents or teachers can commit to having a sleepover with various activities, games, movie screenings with snacks and a very tasty dinner.
In the same vein, activities in closed places, treasure hunting is a good suggestion. Pick lots of cool prizes and scatter them around your home, backyard, or classroom. Then hand out a map to each of the participants. The more difficult the hints are, the more fun the prank will be.
One of the strengths of this activity is the fact that it is collaborative. If it's done outside, everyone can bring a dish, but if it's organized together with the parents, it's an opportunity for the kids to get their hands dirty, as the day is special for them. The picnic does not necessarily have to be in a park. It's worth extending the towel in the backyard or even indoors. To encourage good nutrition, choose healthy foods such as fruits, natural juices, cereals and homemade sandwiches.
To run the game, the more participants the better, since the competition will be fiercer and, consequently, more fun. Before starting the game, define the categories to assemble the table. The most common are animals, colors, zip code (city, state and country), first name, fruits and cars, but the varieties can be chosen according to the group's creativity.
The good thing about this prank is that it doesn't need any accessories, so just gather people and wait for the laughs. Sitting in a circle, one of the participants must say a phrase in the ear of the person next to him. Upon hearing the message, the person must pass it on to the next person, without the others listening, and so on, successively. When the sentence reaches the last participant, he must say what he heard. Usually it is nothing like the original, on the contrary, it ends up being very funny.
Draw a finish line and hand a broom to each of the competitors. The aim is to complete the entire course balancing the broom in the palm of the hand. The one who crosses the finish line first wins. However, if any competitor drops the broom, he must pick it up and restart the race from the beginning.
To play around, if you don't have a court already demarcated, the field markings (central and back lines) can be made with school chalk. Competitors will be divided into two teams, each on one side of the field. The flags will be placed in the background, which can be any object. Someone will say: “little flag burst!”. Given the signal, the goal is to grab the opponent's flag and take it to your field. But be careful, when a player enters the rival field and is touched by an opponent, he will be paralyzed and can only be saved if a colleague from the same team touches him. Whoever reaches the goal first wins.
It is one of the most traditional games, and there are no difficulties in playing tag. One of the classmates will be drawn as the catcher, who will go out in search of the other classmates. When he manages to catch someone, that person will automatically be the new catcher. Play lasts as long as children are interested in playing.
It is very similar to the tag, however, in the dragnet when a participant is caught he must hold hands with the catcher and so on, until everyone has been caught. To make the game more difficult, those who have already been caught will not be able to let go of their classmates' hands.
Another type of tag, color alert is a game that requires a wider space. One of the participants will be chosen as the catcher and the others must be spread around the place. It will say “color alert!” and the others will answer “what color?”. The catcher will choose a color and everyone must touch something of that color to be saved. If they don't find anything, they could be caught.
Virtually all children enjoy games where they can express their imagination and creativity. For this, nothing better than using artistic activities. To make them even more interesting, provide different types of paint, brushes, colored pencils, papers of different colors and weights and magazines to cut. Let them do the works freely, and when they are ready, make an exhibition at home or at school.
How about releasing the creative side through playing with play dough? And even better, how about preparing them at home? Making play dough is very easy and requires inputs that everyone has in their cupboards. Add a cup of salt, four cups of wheat flour, a cup and a half of water and three tablespoons of oil. Mix the ingredients until you get a homogeneous mass. The last step is to add food coloring of the desired color. The doughs are non-toxic and once the game is over, they can be kept in the refrigerator for several days.
Storytelling is an activity capable of favoring the ludic world of children. And it doesn't stop there, it allows them to get in touch with new scenarios and other realities. Developing plots based on characters represented by puppets is one of the ways to make them more interesting and attractive. The dolls can be bought ready-made or made at home, with the help of adults. It's worth choosing known stories or unleashing your imagination by making your own narratives.
Many children, from an early age, show an interest in helping their parents and grandparents in preparing food. In this way, nothing better than separating an exclusive moment for them, under full adult supervision. Choose recipes that please the taste of the little ones, but at the same time are simple to prepare. Help them to perfect the presentation and serve the preparations for the whole family.
On such a special day, nothing better than organizing a gymkhana with the children. As October 12th is a national holiday in Brazil, the little ones will probably be home all day. To make the afternoon busy, organize teams and play the best games for gymkhana. At the end of the activities, organize a snack and a moment of fraternization among the participants.
Gather the children so they can watch their favorite movies, or those that have just been released. To make the room more like a movie theater, close all the curtains tightly and prepare some snacks. In addition to the traditional popcorn, separate some sweets, juices and chopped fruits. Another tip is to distribute some pillows around the room, so that it becomes more cozy.
