Fun activities and games for starting school
With a little planning, the end of summer vacation and the start of the school year can be just as fun as the beginning of summer. Some fun activities and games will get the kids in a great party mood and exercise. Below you will find great back to school games that the children will enjoy.
Games for starting school – Back to school scavenger hunt
Regardless of whether the school starting party takes place indoors or in the garden, the well-known scavenger hunt game is an excellent idea for your child and their guests of honor. Send the children out in search of school supplies – pens, crayons, spiral notepads, or the like. Create clues that bring the adolescents closer and closer to the goal. At the beginning of the game, hand out paper bags where items can be picked up. Finally, let the new school students finish the sweet scavenger hunt at the dessert table.
Name the right snack
The great game “The Taste Test” is an absolute hit, and not just at family celebrations and birthday parties. The game provides children and parents with exciting and particularly fun moments. When it comes to choosing products, you can let your imagination run wild. But so that the game fits the theme of the festive occasion, you can offer the children snacks to guess, which mainly fill the compartments of the breakfast box. Cover the children's eyes with a blindfold and offer them cookies, nuts, bars, fruit and vegetable sticks, sandwiches, jam or peanut butter to taste. Whoever gives the correct answer or makes a rather strange guess will receive a symbolic prize.
Organize fashion show
Fashion-conscious children will simply love our next suggestion. What do you think about putting on a fashion show for the ABC shooters? Create an impromptu catwalk, turn off the lights and play music. Get a flashlight for everyone present so that you can illuminate whoever is walking down the catwalk.
School time capsule
We would like to present you another idea for a great activity that requires some planning. We're talking about the time capsule here. Have each child bring a shoebox or mason jar, as well as some of their favorite mementos from last summer. For example, these could be the glasses the child wore all summer, or maybe pictures from a nice vacation. A collection of shells or stones is also ideal for this. Have the teen write a note about what they did over the summer, what they will miss, and what they are looking forward to in the new school year.
A current picture of the child must also be included. The note must also contain personal information such as name, age and class. Provide pens, stickers, and other fun things the kids can use to decorate the shoeboxes or jars. Finally, seal them with instructions not to open them until next year. It will be an incredibly great experience for young and old to see after a year how much the children have grown and how they have changed.
Back to school photo shoot
And so that you have enough material for the next time capsule, you can organize a photo shoot for school enrollment. A garland, a chalkboard sign or various fun accessories, such as ruler suspenders, make the photos really fun and crazy.
