Keeping children entertained while at home can feel challenging, especially since they are so energetic. The good news is that you don’t need to look far or spend a lot of money to create fun and memorable moments with your kids. Sometimes, the best activities are the ones that bring us back to the basics and allow us to bond with our children in a meaningful way. Here’s a list of simple and fun activities you can do with your kids right at home.

Teaching them games from your childhood

Remember the fun games you used to play as a child? Games like ‘bano’, ‘kati’, ‘brikicho’ and ‘by shot’ were all about creativity and physical activity. Introduce these games to you kids and show them how much fun you had playing them. Not only will this keep them entertained, but it also gives them a glimpse into your childhood, creating a special connection.

Spend time colouring or drawing

     Activities involving art such as colouring or drawing are great for sparking creativity in children. Gather some colouring pencils, crayons and paper and let your children’s imaginations run wild. You can also join in too! Draw your family tree, colour sketches in colouring books, or simply doodle together- the options are endless! These are relaxing activities perfect for winding down and having a one-on-one with your child.

Cook with the kids

   One of the most enjoyable ways to bond with your children is through cooking. Involve your children in the kitchen by letting them help with simple tasks like mixing ingredients, washing vegetables, or even rolling dough. Whether it’s preparing chapati, mandazi or even baking a simple cake cooking with your kids teaches them important life skills and also gives them a sense of accomplishment.

Read your favourite books

     Books open up a world of imagination and learning. Take some time each day and read with your children. You can pick out your favourite childhood books or explore new ones together. Whether it’s an animal story, adventure or folk tales, reading not only helps your kids develop their language skills but also provides a wonderful opportunity to bond as you share stories together.

Have a fun dance party

    Turn up the music and let go with a fun dance party! Dancing is a great way to burn off some energy while having fun. Play your children’s favourite songs, mix in some classic Kenyan hits, and dance like nobody’s watching. This is a great way to encourage physical activity while also sharing a good laugh as you all show off your best dance moves.

Watch your favourite shows

Sometimes, it’s nice to simply relax together as a family. Pick out some of your favourite family-friendly shows or movies and enjoy a cozy weekend afternoon or evening on the couch. Whether it’s an educational show or a funny cartoon, watching together allows you to share laughs, learn new things, and have a shared experience that you can talk about later.

Spending quality time with your children doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. The activities listed above are not only fun but also offer valuable opportunities to bond, teach, and create lasting memories with your kids. So, the next time you’re looking for something to do with your children at home, try out these activities and enjoy every moment spent together. After all, it’s the simple things that often leave the biggest impact.
