Family Fun Ideas and Activities
for Busy Families Family News No time to read the paper? Try this simple solution. You can read and your child can learn. After having children, I found myself never knowing what was happening in the world. The television news was too graphic for family viewing and I was unable to forecast what would be on the air. And forget the Newspaper...the interruptions were constant... What's a Mom or Dad to do? Teach the "5 W's" of journalism. What, Why, Who, Where, and When. Select an appropriate article. Read aloud to your kids and see how many of the 5 W's they can remember. This is a terrific language builder. If you have older children that show an interest, they can write an article about their school , friends, activities etc. Often if spend a few minutes of focused time with your kids they will go off and play independently. Leaving you to your reading. I'd walk a mile for one of your smiles! Family Art Day |
