Winter-Related Educational Activities To Do at Home

Winter-Related Educational Activities To Do at Home

To your child, winter break may seem like the perfect opportunity to spend all day doing nothing but watching TV, playing video games, or scanning social media. However, as a parent, you may only be happy about your kid doing something other than passively watching a screen for hours.

Try to engage your child’s brain this holiday season for even a few hours a day. Of course, they will most likely not want to do homework outright when they could be watching Netflix when they are usually in a classroom, so here are some fun ways to incorporate educational activities for every subject into your holiday festivities.

“Wintery” Math Educational Activities

Make your holiday shopping educational by teaching your kids how to make a budget and count change. Have them estimate how much your purchase will count, then count out the change you receive.

You can even take care of decorations and practice math skills by making snowflakes! Take the opportunity to make this classic craft to let your kids learn a little more about symmetry.

Science-Related Educational Activities

Turn your holiday baking into a science lesson! Have your kids practice suitable scientific methods by accurately measuring everything and following the steps. Another yummy science lesson is making this apple cider we found by Emma Vanstone on Science-Sparks.com, which allows for a lesson on filters.

Or, if you want to do a real science experiment, have your kids do a seasonal experiment on why pinecones open, which we found on lemonlimeadventures.com.

Language Arts Holiday Activities

Have your kids keep journals over the winter break. You don’t have to read their journals if they don’t want you to, as long as they spend about 15 minutes a day exercising the creative part of their brain. They could also spend the break writing a winter-themed story. Tie in some artistic skills by having them illustrate what they’ve written.

Social Studies Activities for the Holidays

With a break from school, this is the perfect time to take your kids to a museum to learn local history. If you are in B.C., look at the Burnaby Village Museum, the Helmcken House next to the Royal BC Museum, or the Okanagan Heritage Museum, depending on where you live. Or, check out something new on the list of BC museums.

You can also encourage your kids to give back to your community by volunteering over the holidays. Donate to your local food bank or spend an afternoon volunteering your time together at a soup kitchen. This way, you can help give your kids a sense of appreciation for their community.

Active Living During the Holidays

Of course, winter break is the perfect time to get active! Exercise has been proven to reduce stress, stimulate the brain, and increase creativity. Take this time to have your kids do classic outdoor winter activities like skating and sledding. Their brains will need a break after a long four months of school, and this is a much more beneficial way to do so than crashing in front of the TV. Their brains will thank you!

Hopefully, this gave you some ideas on how to help your kids enjoy their break through winter-related educational activities. And if your child needs more help than these quick tips, contact School is Easy. Happy Holidays!
