Summer break is the happiest and most excellent time for children to explore their interests, learn new skills, and engage in activities beyond their regular school curriculum. It’s a great time for learning new skills and giving time to your hobbies.
Here are some Extracurricular Activities that Children can join during Summer Break:
Sports:
Joining a sports team or attending a sports camp can be a great way for children to stay active, learn new skills, and make friends. Popular sports activities for summer include skating, basketball, swimming, tennis, and baseball, football. What a brilliant way to keep your younger one's mind and body busy and healthy.
MOMS TIP - Enquire your child which sports she wants to learn and play. DON'T push her into a game you adore the most.
Yoga and Gymnastic
In the fragile initial years, kids are really flexible, teaching them yoga and gymnastic from the begging will make them free from the rigid body. Yoga and gymnastic sessions for your kid should be a must in summer vacation as it not only has one single benefit but has many benefits to yield.
MOMS TIP - Make your child join yoga or gymnastic classes as soon as their initial age, to maintain their flexibility of body.
Art and crafts:
Art classes, drawing workshops, and pottery classes are perfect for children who enjoy being creative and expressing themselves. These activities allow children to experiment with different art forms, develop their skills, and boost their creativity.
MOMS TIP - Plan an ART DATE with your child, to explore her interest and choose craft classes accordingly.
Music:
One should learn one musical instrument to play in his life. I personally regret not learning any in my childhood days. Learning to sing, becoming a part of a band, or learning to play an instrument helps in the overall development of your child. These activities help children develop their musical abilities and provide an opportunity to perform in front of an audience.
MOMS TIP - Join Music class with them, if you still fancy music and want to rekindle your passion.

Dance classes, workshops, and camps can be an excellent way for children to stay active, learn new moves, and express themselves creatively. There are many different styles of dance to choose from, including ballet, hip-hop, jazz, salsa, and Indian classical or tap dance.
MOMS TIP - Dance helps in stress management among children. If your child goes through any anxiety or stress issues, It is a great time and great activity to join.
Coding and robotics:
For children interested in technology, coding classes, and robotics workshops can be a fun and educational way to learn programming and robotics skills. These classes help children develop logical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.
MOMS TIP - Try demo sessions of such classes first to ensure the interest of your child in coding. and then pursue with full tenure of class.
Drama:
Drama classes and theater camps can be an excellent way for children to develop their acting skills, improve their confidence and public speaking abilities, and participate in plays and productions.
MOMS TIP - Encourage your child to participate in at least one drama/theatre. Drama seems tough, But it will yield a lot of benefits.
Mathematical Skills
Start a Mental Math class for your child, it involves performing calculations mentally without relying heavily on external aids like calculators or pen and paper. It emphasizes mental agility, number sense, and the ability to perform calculations quickly and accurately.
Public speaking and Communication Skills
Good communication skills have become imperative for everybody nowadays, from a kid to a professional expected to have great language fluency, especially When speaking in Public. But as it needs to learn, teaching a language to your child from the beginning is a good practice. In summer vacation you can have fun with any language communication activities with your kid to enhance speaking and writing skills and teach them how to speak publically.
MOMS TIP - It's time to introduce a new language to her. Learning a new language is always fun and intriguing for children
Cooking and Baking
You can teach baking or cooking to them. Baking can be a hobby that can be taken in the future as well if your child is really interested in it. Your child may grow up to be a world-famous baker with your small initiative toward your child’s future.
MOMS TIP - Start with fireless cooking classes, followed by cutting, chopping vegetables, rolling, and kneading of dough. After all their cooking interest should reap some benefits to you too.
Outdoor activities
Kids are always ready to go out. But to ensure that when they go out they learn something. Summer is the best time to go outdoors and be with nature and learn activities that no school teaches like Hiking, fishing, gardening, rafting, Boating, horse riding, etc.
Make your child learn new things when they have plenty of time to make the most out of it. Summer vacation is a perfect time for a child to learn new things as the child is free from school classes.
