Summer fun and learning can co-exist. Here are some examples of how.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">Word games, such as Scrabble, come in small sizes, which are suitable for beach and road trips. Kids love them! They stimulate vocabulary and engage children in friendly competition. In addition to improving vocabulary, math skills are also being developed every time a child adds up his score. Boggle is another portable word game that kids love. They can manipulate the letters, make words, and add up points. This is a great <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/uncategorized\/keep-learning-make-fun-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">game<\/a> to take on a camping trip or to the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">Computer games are also useful to keep kids learning over the summer. Games which involve critical thinking can be competitive while reinforcing group work, and cooperative learning. Using these types of games keeps the stimulation of the kid&#8217;s minds at work. It&#8217;s critical to keep the thought processes flowing, so they are prepared for the following school year. In playing these games, kids can also be taught to accept defeat gracefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">Another board game, which involves critical <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/holiday-seasonal-family\/summer-is-the-season-to-take-back-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thinking<\/a>, is checkers. The entire family can challenge each other, promoting social stimulation. Suduko is a game involving math and numbers. There is a kid&#8217;s version, which can be utilized on a rainy day or when there is some down time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">The advantage of utilizing these games is learning without your kids realizing it. In this way, while they are having fun over the summer, they are actually preparing for the fall term. <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/learning\/getting-your-kids-interested-in-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learning<\/a> not only stimulates their minds, but also reinforces the skills they are taught throughout the school year. In addition, there are some great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funbrain.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sites<\/a> for computer <a href=\"https:\/\/math.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">savvy <\/a>kids you might want to look <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abcteach.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">at<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\">Summer fun and learning can co-exist by utilizing these games and word play. Without realizing it, your kids will be ready for the next phase in their school career, because time was taken to teach and have fun at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning never stops during the course of our lifetime; so it\u2019s important to motivate kids to learn as much as they can, even during summer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":34800,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,9,399,19,12,14,15,398,1938],"tags":[61,369,368,136,137,138,370,371,152,309],"class_list":["post-753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-child-activities","category-development","category-dad-father","category-parenting","category-fun-family-activites","category-holiday-seasonal-family","category-learning","category-mom-mother","category-school","tag-back-to-school","tag-dad","tag-dads","tag-family","tag-family-activities","tag-family-fun","tag-father","tag-fathering","tag-fun-learning","tag-summer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Summer Fun and Learning Can Co-Exist - Child Development Institute<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It\u2019s important to motivate kids to learn as much as they can, even during summer recess.
