Ten monsoon activities for children

Part 1

As a child, I’d float paper boats in water puddles when it rained along with my cousins. It would relax me to watch the rain from my window. This generation is different. They may be glued to their mobiles playing video games and ignoring nature’s beauty during the monsoon. We may have read a book during that time.

Here are ten engagements to do with your children during this beautiful season:

1

Writing a story or composition about a rainy day

We have done this down generations as school-going kids. However, we may always do this again with our offspring. The paragraphs will come out somewhat differently as the years go by.

2

Making paper boats

These boats come in funky sizes and can be made with paper of different colours. Ensure that the kids pick up the boats from the water after floating them so that there’s no litter. They may love to read the poem Paper Boats by Rabindranath Tagore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yncXfCa5h88.

3

Reading stories about the rain

There are 195 countries in this world. These nations embrace the rain in different ways. In some places of the world, the soil is never kissed by the rain. In other places, it floods. Come bedtime and with the rain drumming on the rooftop, lightning flashing and thunder roaring; read out bedtime stories about rainy days from various nations of the world to your children. Let them analyze these tales.
