What is what to do when your bored kids?

Here are some ideas to combat boredom in kids:

• Get Creative: Encourage activities like drawing, painting, coloring, crafts (using household items), writing stories or poems, or even creating their own comic book.

• Get Active: Physical activity is a great boredom buster. Consider outdoor%20games like tag, hopscotch, or kicking a ball. If the weather is bad, try indoor%20exercises like jumping jacks, dancing, or yoga.

• Engage their minds: Provide puzzles, board%20games, card%20games, or brain%20teasers. These are excellent for stimulating critical thinking.

• Encourage Reading: Suggest a trip to the library or simply encourage them to explore books they already have. Reading stimulates imagination and learning. Audiobooks are also a good alternative.

• Let them help with chores: It sounds counterintuitive, but kids often enjoy helping with age-appropriate chores, especially if you make it a game. Folding laundry, setting the table, or watering plants can provide a sense of accomplishment.

• Screen time with Limits: Allow supervised and limited screen%20time with educational or creative apps, or family-friendly movies.

• Role Play and Pretend Play: Encourage imagination and role%20playing. Let them dress up, create scenarios, and act them out.

• Learn a new skill: Explore learning a new language with apps like Duolingo, learn coding with platforms like Scratch, or play a new instrument.

• Build something: Use building%20blocks, LEGOs, or even items from the recycling bin to create structures or inventions.
