VACATION IDEAS FOR CHILDREN ON
HOLIDAY
It’s the period of the year
again where our kids go on long vacation from school. For some parents it’s
another hectic period where we wonder what to do with our kids, how to engage
them productively, who to watch over them while we are not around and the
likes. Some even go ahead to ship their children to other relatives in the bid
to keep the peace at home, and as the Lagos State government has banned summer
schools, this decision becomes tougher for parents.
Here are ideas you can engage
your kids with while they are on holiday:
Home
Based Coachings
Here selected teachers come to the home to
teach/ coach the children on various academic subjects but, parents have to be
careful in selecting lesson teachers as some home teachers cannot be trusted.
Home
Vocational Coachings/Skill Acquisitions
This is one of the best times
to train children especially teens in vocational trainings and various skills
acquisition.
Summer
camps & Vacation Bible Schools
Various churches and Christian
bodies organise their Summer camps and children’s programme this period to
train, teach and pray over the kids. This would be a great avenue for the
children to go get trained in the ways of the Lord.
Reading
and Book Clubs
Children can be taught to read by engaging them
in reading book clubs. Where they read books to each other and explain lessons
learnt to each other. It is advisable to have an adult around to ensure order
and co-ordination.
