Whether you're trying to avoid the dreaded "summer slide" or are just looking for a kid-sized mental tune-up, you need ideas to keep those little scholars' brains active. These learning activities for kids are so entertaining, they may not even realize how educational they are. Even better, the projects are low-prep, easy to clean up, and mostly involve common items you can find around the house. Dip into the old art-supply bin, gather up some toys, and you'll be able to whip up an educational activity in no time.
From practicing sight words to simple coding activities, these projects cover literacy, STEM, and social studies, among others, so you can focus in on your kids' particular area of interest (or subject where they need the most additional practice). The one thing they have in common is that there's some kind hands-on component to all of them, so kids can get really involved in their own learning. As they get older, they can even help set up the activities for themselves, too.
These are mostly geared for elementary school students, but if you have a toddler or a preschooler, you can check out these fun toddler activities, since even the tiniest students deserve a brain workout.

Methods of formation of independence in younger students.
Methodology for the formation of independence in younger students.
Prepared by: Elizaveta Alekseevna Davydova
Teacher-psychologist
Ozersk branch of MBOU "Nikiforovskaya Secondary School No. 2"
Formation of independence as a personal quality is a long and complex process that is carried out both at school (lessons, extracurricular activities, socially useful work ) and in the family. Let us consider the possibilities of forming the independence of younger schoolchildren in educational activities.
Educational activity at primary school age has a great influence on the overall development, the formation of mental processes, states and properties, intellectual and personal qualities of the child, including the quality we are considering. “Education,” notes D.B. Elkonin, “as the basis for mastering the methods of action developed by society with objects, the tasks and motives of human activity, the norms of relations between people, all the achievements of culture and science, is a universal form of child development . Outside of learning, there can be no development.” Understanding the meaning of educational activity ensures the participation of a younger student in it on his own initiative.
One of the means of developing the independence of younger students is independent work. According to P.I. Pidkasisty, independent work is not a form of organizing training sessions and not a teaching method. It is legitimate to consider it rather as a means of involving students in independent cognitive activity, a means of its logical and psychological organization.
In accordance with the level of independent productive activity of students, 4 types of independent work are distinguished, each of which has its own didactic goals.
Independent work according to the model is necessary for the formation of skills and their strong consolidation. They form the foundation for truly independent activity of the student.
Reconstructive independent work teaches to analyze events, phenomena, facts, forms techniques and methods of cognitive activity, contributes to the development of internal motives for cognition, creates conditions for the development of mental activity of schoolchildren.
Independent work of this type forms the basis for further creative activity of the student.
Variable independent work forms the skills and abilities of finding an answer outside the known pattern. The constant search for new solutions, the generalization and systematization of the acquired knowledge, their transfer to completely non-standard situations make the student's knowledge more flexible, form a creative personality.
Creative independent work is the crowning achievement of the system of independent activity of schoolchildren. These works reinforce the skills of independent search for knowledge, are one of the most effective means of forming a creative personality.
A.I. Zimnyaya emphasizes that the independent work of a student is a consequence of his properly organized learning activities in the classroom, which motivates its independent expansion, deepening and continuation in his free time. Independent work is considered as the highest type of educational activity, requiring a sufficiently high level of self-awareness, reflexivity, self-discipline, responsibility from the student, and giving the student satisfaction, as a process of self-improvement and self-awareness.
Formation of independence of junior schoolchildren takes place in various activities. The more species develop independence, the more successful its development will be. The formation of the independence of the child is carried out in educational activities , which is purposeful, productive, mandatory, arbitrary. It is evaluated by others and therefore determines the position of the student among them, on which his inner position, and his well-being, emotional well-being depend. In educational activities, he develops the skills of self-control and self-regulation.
Thus, the application in practice of various types of independent work contributes to the improvement of the ability to work independently and the development of the student's independence. However, any work should begin with students' awareness of the purpose of actions and methods of action. All types of independent activities of younger students are of great importance. It is difficult, impossible to overestimate the student's work with the book. Performing written exercises, writing essays, stories, poems and the like are independent creative works that require more activity and efficiency.
One of the effective means of promoting cognitive motivation, as well as the formation of independence, is the creation of problem situations in the educational process. A. M. Matyushkin characterizes the problem situation as “a special kind of mental interaction between an object and a subject, characterized by such a mental state of the subject (student) in solving problems that requires the discovery (discovery or assimilation) of new knowledge or methods of activity previously unknown to the subject.” In other words, a problem situation is a situation in which the subject (student) wants to solve some problems that are difficult for him, but he does not have enough data and he must look for them himself. A problematic situation arises when a teacher deliberately confronts students' life ideas with facts that students do not have enough knowledge and life experience to explain. It is possible to deliberately collide the life ideas of students with scientific facts using various visual means, practical tasks, during the implementation of which students will definitely make mistakes. This allows you to cause surprise, sharpen the contradiction in the minds of students and mobilize them to solve the problem.
An effective tool for the development of independence in students primary school is a group form of education. The use of group forms leads to the fact that students increase cognitive activity and creative independence; changing the way children communicate; students more accurately assess their capabilities; children acquire skills that will help them in later life: responsibility, tact, confidence. It is necessary to organize the educational process in such a way that each student can realize his abilities, see the process of his progress, evaluate the result of his own and collective (group) work, while developing independence in himself, as one of the main qualities of a person.
A special role in the formation of a creative, independent personality, capable of highly productive work in the future, is assigned to labor activity. In order for labor training lessons to contribute to the development of labor activity of younger schoolchildren, it is necessary, when choosing teaching methods, to focus on those that stimulate the cognitive and active activity of children, broaden their horizons, contribute to the development of independence
and contribute to the development of a creative personality. Such methods are problem-search, partial-search, problem, research. Together with explanatory-illustrative and reproductive methods, they contribute to the qualitative improvement of labor processes in the performance of educational tasks. The upbringing of independence is one of the leading factors in the development of children's creativity, since creativity is the highest form of human activity and independent activity. It is well known that the main obstacle in the organization of creative activity in labor training lessons is the low level of students' independence. It is necessary to create conditions that allow schoolchildren to independently perform and look for ways to implement creative tasks. In the process of solving the tasks set, younger students develop the ability to analyze the condition and, on the basis of this, build their practical activities, create and implement interesting ideas.
Of particular importance in the formation of creative independent activity of a younger student is applied activity, characterized by the freedom to realize ideas through the use of various materials and technologies in the creation of original products. Artistic and design activity allows you to expand the child's ideas about the surrounding reality, enrich his life experience, focuses on a transformative attitude to the world. A systematic approach to the development of art and design activities by children gives them the opportunity to accumulate aesthetic, technological, social, labor experience, thereby ensuring the development of the child's creative activity at the highest level. In a child of primary school age, the emotional and motivational-value spheres of the personality are formed, which are characterized by cognitive activity, curiosity, the need to make independent decisions and their practical implementation. In children's creativity, two types of design are distinguished: technical and artistic, which enable children to express their attitude to the depicted object, to show their imagination and thereby independence. The assimilation of this complex of knowledge forms a sense of style, an aesthetic attitude to the world of things, a special way of thinking. This kind of thinking is called productive. The productivity of thinking provides an independent solution of new problems, deep assimilation of knowledge, i.e. success in the implementation of educational activities. Solving constructive problems, children learn to analyze their conditions and find independent solutions.
Homework is a form of organization of independent, individual study of educational material by schoolchildren during extracurricular time. The importance of homework, especially in primary school, is as follows. Doing homework helps to better understand the educational material, helps to consolidate knowledge, skills and abilities due to the fact that the student independently reproduces the material studied in the lesson and it becomes more clear to him what he knows and what he does not understand.
N.K. Krupskaya in the article ''Methods of assigning homework lessons'' wrote: ''Homework lessons are of great importance. Properly organized, they accustom to independent work, bring up a sense of responsibility, help to acquire knowledge and skills.
Experts consider children's independence in the process of its formation. “In school practice,” notes A.A. Lyublinskaya, “the independence of the child has nothing to do with his spontaneous behavior. Behind the independence of the child is always the leading role and requirements of the adult. The author believes that the teacher should find a reasonable combination of pedagogical guidance and independent activity of students. Pedagogical skill is to put the child in front of the need to make an independent decision, constantly monitor and evaluate the results of his work .
The teacher, who forms the independence of younger schoolchildren, contributes to a favorable situation for the development of the child , building his life prospects, i.e. realizes the goal of education, because the result of his pedagogical activity is the student's personality as "an active creative principle that generates the world, projects reality and its own future, which goes beyond itself in its actions and deeds. "
According to V.B.Leontieva, an effective method in shaping the independence of children of this age is the preparation and holding of holidays, which makes it possible to show initiative, creativity and independence.
A teacher has great opportunities for the development and manifestation of independence of students in the classroom and in extracurricular activities.
According to ZL Shintar, interaction between a teacher and a student is of great importance in the formation of independence of a junior schoolchild. The child can independently establish joint activities if something is not able to be performed individually. An example of this type of children's independence is the questions of a child to an adult. In this case, it is worth talking about independence as a manifestation of the child's initiative in building educational relationships with the teacher. Independence acts as an initiative action of the child towards pedagogical influence.
The first type is built on an instructional basis. The adult appears to the child as the bearer of a socially given amount of knowledge, skills, and habits that the child must learn by copying and imitation under strict control by the teacher. In this type of joint activity, it is hardly possible to discern the sources of the child's independence.
In the second type joint activity the educational content is outwardly clothed by adults in a problematic form and takes on the form of various kinds of tasks that are offered to the child. In this case, an imitation of search and decision-making takes place. With such joint activity, the task of fully assimilating culture, which ensures the spiritual growth of the child, cannot be solved: although the form of presentation of educational content undergoes a certain change, a detailed relationship does not develop between the child and the adult.
The third type of joint activity is radically different from the first two: the child does not know the principle of solving the task set for him, the adult is interested in the way children search and discover this principle. In the context of the third type of joint activity, it becomes possible for the child to be creatively introduced to culture, his independent action.
Public assignments, assistance to comrades, collective affairs - all this should be organized in such a way as not to replace the initiative of the children, but to give schoolchildren the opportunity to show their independence.
In the opinion of G.S. Poddubskaya, the family plays an important role in shaping the independence of a junior schoolchild. After all, between the level of independence of the schoolchild and the nature of assistance, the measure of guidance for the independent activities of children in the family, there is the closest relationship. In this regard, in order to ensure a unified position of the family and the school in the formation of the leading qualities of the personality of a younger student, parents should: be involved in cooperation with children; create a humane style of relationships in the family, taking into account the "principle of measure", in which there should be a combination of affection and severity, closeness to children and "distance", the independence of the child and the help of elders; create conditions for the independent activity of the child; introduce a system of permanent labor assignments in the family; involve children in various types of domestic self-service work (cleaning, shopping, cooking, simple clothing repair, growing plants, caring for younger children, and others).
In view of what has been said, the following means and ways of developing independence in children of this age can be determined. The child needs to be instructed, to do more things on his own and, at the same time, to trust him more. Welcome every desire of the child for independence and encourage him. It is extremely important from the first days of schooling to make sure that the child does his homework and chores on his own. Favorable for the development of this quality in children is such a socio-psychological situation in which the child is entrusted with some responsible business and, doing it, he becomes a leader for other people, peers and adults, in joint work with them. Good conditions for the realization of this task are created by group forms of learning and work.
Thus, all of the above ways, means, forms and methods of developing independence, with their systematic, correct use, form the quality we are studying in students.
