With summer vacations approaching parents usually get alert - now what! All parents want to keep kids occupied happily with activities that can give them knowledge and fun at the same time. Every time we search online we tend to get a number of activities that speak of baking cookies, going for a nature walk, participating in photography workshops and taking painting lessons. These are the kind of summer vacation activities we all look for. Most of us send our children to summer camps and feel satisfied for the fact that they spent the day without us being troubled or bothered. But was that enough? What about feeding the brain? Our brain needs continuous exercise for good cognitive health. We should always be able to justify between fun and learning and also the kind of learning that happens. Activities that poke the brain nerves to think beyond or out of the box have to be undertaken each day and give results only then. If we think that once in a while activities can help our child become a genius, then it’s a myth. Find summer activities for kids that you can take beyond the summers and can eventually help your child be a problem solver even in everyday life.
Aloha brings you such summer activities for kids which can help invariably in the different spheres of education.
Mental Arithmetic
We as mentors try to give each day enough numerical calculation practice to children so that their abilities to think visualize and calculate increase. This ability to use the abacus and calculate also helps other spheres of education. Increased concentration, attention span and speed of calculation in everyday life are other benefits. Complex calculations become a playful activity for them.

English Smart
English is one such language now which is inseparable from our lives. The better your child is with fluency and writing skills the more he is capable of gaining knowledge from around the society, books or the world of internet. The mandate of speaking in English at school, sometimes makes the child resist the language. Specially if he doesn’t find that environment back home too. Get your child for some additional help or maybe just a little more exposure to the language by sending him for an English Smart program and this might take that difficulty away. Read more on this.

Write Smart
When children are busy with their routines in everyday life it is most difficult to focus on a thing like handwriting. But vacations would surely permit you to give those extra hours to it and improve this very important part of their education. Most children go through an inability of focussing on letter formation, size and spacing. Illegible handwriting gradually makes the child uninterested in academics and a low self confidence follows. Let your vacation be the time when you can boost his/her interest and provide a more positive learning journey to your child.
We have listed down a few things to do that can help your child become good at handwriting link.
Vacations are a perfect time to include all that you think needs attention and improvement. Make the most of this time and a have a fun and rewarding break.
