What is the perfect list of tasks for children to assign during the holidays?
Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous
Last year it was published by Echino, a newspaper dedicated to children, and this year some teachers really assigned it, generating the amazement of many mothers who shared it online, making it go viral. And the holiday homework list. That perfect, ideal, the one that every child would like to have. And every teacher should assign.
The list was born from the inspiration and work of Elisa Squillaci, illustrator of children's books, and Maria Giuliana Saletta, teacher and writer for children, who together with other colleagues and friends of the Mammeonline Publishing House have given birth to Echino Newspaper Child which is aimed at children aged seven and over and their parents.
Also taken up by the newspapers, we want to spread the list further by giving Caesar what belongs to Caesar with the hope that more and more teachers will adopt it, because it aims to transforming those things that children love to do every day into an educational activity. Play, explore, get to know and, why not, laze around.
1. Do at least one somersault a day
2. Run in the meadows or on the beach. But which child doesn't?
3. Scream at the echo: "Hello, who is more beautiful between you and me?" and listen to what he replies. In short, to explore nature and the surprises it reserves
4. Invent a word a week, like ohporcalochettina. Play with your imagination
5. Get bored from time to time. That's right, it is not necessary to organize the day minute by minute: give your children moments in which they are free to choose what to do. Boredom, for example, is not always to be evaluated negatively and is a feeling that kids have to experience from time to time
6. Get carried to the library and wander around in search of a colorful and funny book
7. Taste all flavors of ice cream. Watch the shooting stars and make the most beautiful wish
8. Have your grandfather read a story and, with two pages at the end, close the book and play the surprise ending, then go and see how the story ends.
9. Writing a letter to your grandmother, a drawing is also valid
10. Choice, but at least two: go fishing with dad, bake a cake with mum, go to the outdoor cinema with friends, take a dip in the sea, visit a museum
11. Make up the bad words to say when you are angry, like: oh bulacca! Peralessa! Face warmed up!
12. Count how many beautiful things have been done during the week
Nice, right? And do you think of any other "tasks" to do during the summer break?
