Children of all ages simply need the attention of adults. This is very important, because it is in communication with older children that they learn everything that they need in life. Therefore, now we’ll talk about how to keep a child (6 years old) at home, on the street.
Active games
All the guys love the movement. They simply cannot sit in one place for a long time. And this is not surprising, because children have a much larger supply of energy than adults. That is why they are ready to play any outdoor games. It’s best, of course, to do this on the street. But it does not matter if there is no way to go into the fresh air, you can even play something like that even at home. So, it can be ordinary hide and seek. But it’s not necessary to hide to people. You can take a small toy, put it in a quiet secluded place and give the task of finding her child, then the parent will have to look for the thing. And so that the apartment does not turn out to be upside down, you can give suggestions with the words "hot" or "cold." You can also play games such as darts (the option for children is not to throw sharp spears, but special darts with Velcro), home basketball, boxing, etc. However, for all these fun games there must be special equipment at home.
Doing sports

So, you can come up with a set of exercises that will have to be done with crumbs daily. This will be a huge plus for the parent, and, naturally, for the baby. At this age, children can already do everything: push ups, swing the press, try to pull themselves up (if there is a crossbar at home). You can just squat, stretch the back with slopes.
Fun dancing
What else to do with a child at 6 years old at home? So, if the kid loves to dance, you can arrange an evening of showing the dance. To do this, just turn on your favorite crumbs music, dress it beautifully and just have fun. Both interesting and healthy. You can also prepare one thoughtful dance every evening, which is shown to guests in a week. The child should also like this. However, at least one of the parents must participate in this entire event.
Performances
By the same principle as dancing, you can prepare a home concert. This is a great tip for those who don’t know what to do for children on winter evenings. So, you can think of a full program with dancing, songs, poems, drawings. You can also prepare handouts: programs and popcorn for guests. Preparing for such a performance in the evenings, you can pass more than two weeks of time. And the child will definitely enjoy such an activity.
Table games
We further consider options for occupying a child of 6 years at home. You can play calm board games with your baby. There are a lot of options. It can be any game, for example, “Monopoly” or “Jumanji”. For such fun, it is best to assemble a large company (at least three to four people). A big plus: during the game you can "kill" a lot of time, even the whole evening.
Alternatively, you can teach your child to play checkers or chess. You can also teach your child how to play cards, dominoes. And let some people say that these are games from the devil, but this is absolutely not so. Playing cards, the baby learns to think a couple of steps forward, calculating the consequences of his actions. And this ability is definitely useful for a baby in adulthood.
Learning in the game
The following clue how to keep a child at 6 years old at home: try to learn with the baby. If a child goes to school, you can learn all the lessons in the evening, if not already, get ready to attend school. So, you can teach your baby to read, write, count. However, this should not be boring. You can try to interest the child in something by preparing interesting tasks or bonuses for the work done.
Skillful pens
We look further through the various options for entertaining a child of 6 years, than to occupy a child at home. Why not start creating with your baby? That is, to do needlework. There are already a huge number of options. You just need to know what the baby loves the most. You can draw, make applications with a child, sculpt figures from plasticine. Further, from the material made, you can make a small home exhibition. If a child has a desire, you can start teaching him various useful adult creations: quilling, decoupage, embroidery (if this is a girl), carving or burning on wood, working with an instrument (if this is a boy). Here we can say with confidence that the kid will definitely like this occupation. And most of them because they will perceive him as an adult, teaching him not as a small child.
Useful games
What else to do with a child at 6 ? Why not teach the baby to do household chores? This is very useful, especially if the mother often does not have time to do everything herself at home. So, even ordinary cleaning can be turned into an exciting game. This, of course, will drag on for a rather long period, but the result will appeal to both the adult and the baby. And besides, time will be spent to good use. Here you can teach your child to wipe dust, vacuum, wash and mop up dishes, and wash floors. 6 years is the age when the baby is big enough to help parents.
Role-playing games
All kids love to play with characters. In this case, you can come up with a big game in which both children and adults can participate. These may be commonplace “mother-daughters,” but it is the child who should give out the roles. Modern kids are more fond of characters from modern cartoons: dragons, supermen, barbie. Why not play along with the child and have fun according to his rules? However, here we must remember that it is necessary to fulfill all the conditions of children, the only way the game will succeed.
Any games using toys
The most interesting activities for children aged 6-7 at home are their favorite games. Here you just need to know what the child likes. You can build a big house with him from the designer, you can ride cars or play in the kitchen. In this case, you just need to get those toys that the child likes so much, and with which he is happy to bother.
Option for the lazy
Further we consider various options than to occupy the baby at home. If there are absolutely no ideas, and the child does not want to do anything, you can simply turn on your favorite cartoons to him. If you want to spend a little time together, you can play his favorite computer games. However, I want to remind you that you should not resort too often to this method of entertaining a child. After all, this is absolutely not useful for the baby. And it’s only good if you just need to kill time.
Games in the bathroom
As mentioned above, you can play and do useful things in parallel. So, you can draw water into the bathtub, put the baby there and overlay it with various toys. Kids are very fond of swimming, and they can spend a very long time in the water. You can, for example, arrange a tea party in the bath. You can also draw in the bath with finger paints. Their advantage is that they are completely non-toxic and wash off well. In this case, you can start to create even on tiles. The child will definitely like this occupation. It is also elementary to transfer water from large tanks to smaller ones, and so on downward (or vice versa). Parents will be surprised, but such simple activities always captivate the children.
Creation
Well, the last clue how to occupy a child at home (6 years): a girl, like a boy, will be happy to do creativity. Here it is no longer necessary to limit the baby in his fantasies, you only need to give, so to speak, a suggestive element. You can offer to make a gift for dad. Further, the child himself must decide what kind of present it will be, and what elements will be needed for this. It can be almost anything: drawings, cards from applications, figures made of plasticine or clay, large collages or even something more serious: an embroidery or a cake baked with mom, or a picture burnt out of wood with dad .
