It is not so easy to come up with games for children of different ages, parents "with experience" say, and they are absolutely right. Both attention and perception in children differ at each stage of development, therefore, in order to organize their joint leisure, it is necessary to invent such ways of playing in which the level of psychophysiological development of each child adequately corresponds to the theme and scenario of the event.
Instructions
Step 1
Modern gadgets aren't that bad. Especially if they can gather all family members around them. Use your home computer, laptop, tablet or phone to create funny effects photos or prepare a general video greeting to your beloved grandmother. Let the older child take on the role of the director, the middle one will deal with the script, and the youngest one will be the announcer or play the main role in the film.
Step 2
You can draw not only with paints or pencils, a real work of art can be created using any available materials, for example, sand or even seeds. Transform your children of different ages into postmodern artists using fingers or all fives to create masterpieces. Believe me, this game will appeal to both little toddlers and teenagers. A real find for modern dads and mothers, puzzled by the leisure of their children, can be plasticine or a set for quilling, creating voluminous postcards and paintings. Older children can always feel like experienced artists, teaching and helping younger children create their own works.
Step 3
Co-creation is a win-win option for people of different ages. Formation of an interesting collage on a piece of Whatman paper with a clear distribution of roles: someone cuts, someone chooses pictures from magazines, someone glues, someone paints.
Step 4
You can come up with a game based on banal household chores. The main thing is that it is a team and has a competitive start. For example, invite the children to find out who will pack up faster for a trip to the park, who will better lace up or button up all the buttons, who will better help with household chores or taking care of the garden. It is important to remember here that the prize should be collective, because the main task is not to select the winner, but to involve children in work and the desire to unite them in a single impulse.
Step 5
Just ideal games for spending time together for children of different ages can be articles: cat and mouse, ring and ring, Cossack robbers familiar to everyone from childhood, where children forget about the age difference and happily chase each other. Children of different ages can be united by flying a kite together, playing treasure hunters with the creation of maps and routes to the intended goal, simple hide and seek, hide and seek, edible-inedible, playing in a hospital or a hairdressing salon.
