Holi Activities for small kid

I am back with lots of Holi Activity. Holi is one of the biggest festivals celebrated everywhere and by everyone. I love our all festivals because it brings lot of joy and happiness. People gather to celebrate festivals of each religion and each cast which denotes the unity in diversity.

I am here to share with you some activities which you can do with your child to improve his studies.  All this activities are especially for the age group of 3 to 5 years.

Activities have following benefit:

1.  It gives joy to your child that his parents spending time with them.

2.  You can teach them about our culture and festivals.

3.  You can use any activity to increase his or her study interest.

4.   It helps to increase the concentration.

5. Activities help to improve bilateral coordination.

I am sharing some activity which we did for this month. I denoted these as a Holi Activity. I love to prepare variety of activity as per the festival or season. Check out the link here for valentine activity: https://www.memoryflies.com/2019/02/valentine-activities.html

#we prepare a banner of ‘HAPPY HOLI’ by using the scrap paper. I drew triangle shape and asked her to cut and write each alphabet on each triangle.  Cutting a paper along with line require eye and hand coordination. 

Increase memory power while writing alphabet on each triangle so as to make the word “HAAPY HOLI”. Your kid will also learn new word “happy holi”

#Drew some rectangle and triangle shaped on this craft paper, ask her to cut it and make a ‘PICHAKARI’. She made it by herself by attaching each shape. Drew some extra bubbles. These improve the kid’s imagination power.

#I drew dotted line of this ‘HOLI BONFIRE’ then she joined all the dots and colour it.  Colouring is one of the favorite activities of each child. These require concentration for joining dots and colouring without spreading the colour.

Those child have concentration problem do use this kind of activity.

Tips :

*Never guide your child – do this, use this colour, draw like this etc. Just wait   and watch his creativity and appreciate him or her by saying “Wow…..so good”.

*Do not criticize him or her instead always encourage them.

*Always allow them to use the imagination power.

You can share the story of Bonfire if your child is more than 6 years old. Ahhh…😊 I did not share any story of “HOLI”as she is not yet ready to understand. Only explain the festival of holi celebrated by bonfire.

She asked why people played with holi? I simply replied, it is for fun. Festivals are used to celebrate for joy and happiness. That's it! I think we must have to share this thought with small kids.

#Exams time is there and so we did some word power activity using this Holi Theme. Let me show you some study related activities:

Word Families: My child gets confused with these words. I use this activity to improve her word power.

This is Holi (bonfire) with “U” word family. The game is to keep your “U” word picture card upside down and ask the child to identify the word on bonfire with the picture and write the initial letter.

#another one is with small pichakari “O” word family word. The game is same as above. Only difference is I drew some bubbles which are coming out from the pichakari.

Do try this at home. It will improve your child vocabulary, spelling power and memory power.

#opposite matchup: Children get bored with same match up so to make it more interesting I wrote this opposite word in bubble form and keep it plain. If child want to colour it, they can colour it and complete the match up. Finding the word from such word collage and join those with line actually have lots of fun. We both enjoyed a lot.

#Last one is the rhyming word. As simple as she can understand.

All these study activities sheets are available in PDF form with free of cost. You can use this sheet for different kind of activity.
