Engaging ACTIVITIES💡for Teaching a 6 Year Old: A Parent’s Guide

Teaching a 6-YEAR-OLD can be challenging since children at this age are full of ENERGY, have a short ATTENTION SPAN, and may not always be interested in what you are trying to teach them. 😓 However, there are many ways to make teaching more enjoyable for both you and your child. In this article, we provide you with some tips and tricks on how to teach a 6-YEAR-OLD without getting FRUSTRATED.

MAKE LEARNING FUN

Children love to learn when it’s FUN. 🤗 That’s why incorporating GAMES, SONGS, and DANCE can make learning more enjoyable for your child. For example, you can play “I Spy” to teach COLORS or SHAPES, or sing the ALPHABET SONG while doing a fun DANCE. You can also use FLASHCARDS, PUZZLES, and QUIZZES to make learning more exciting.

USE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

Positive reinforcement can go a long way in helping your child stay MOTIVATED and engaged during learning sessions. 🏆 So, make sure to praise your child when they do well, and REWARD them for their efforts. Even a simple “GOOD JOB!” or “WELL DONE!” can make all the difference in motivating your child to learn. You can even reward your child with a small TOY or a favorite SNACK.

KEEP SESSIONS SHORT

Children have a short attention span, so it is essential to keep your teaching sessions short and concise to avoid OVERWHELMING your child. 🕰️ For instance, you can break the lessons down into small sections and take frequent BREAKS to keep your child’s attention span on track. You can also use a TIMER to help your child understand how long the lesson will last.

USE REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES

Children learn best when they can relate to what they are learning. 🌍 So, use REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES to help your child understand new concepts. When teaching MATH, for example, use everyday situations like COUNTING MONEY or measuring ingredients in a recipe. You can also use PICTURES to teach new VOCABULARY words.

MAKE LEARNING HANDS-ON

Children learn best when they can get HANDS-ON with what they are learning. Use TACTILE materials like CLAY, PLAYDOUGH, or BUILDING BLOCKS to help your child understand new concepts. This approach makes learning more FUN and MEMORABLE for your child. 🎨🧩🏗️ For example, you can use PLAYDOUGH to teach SHAPES or use BUILDING BLOCKS to teach COUNTING.
