Top Ways to Motivate Learning Among Children


Are you ready to get those creative minds going and keep your child learning throughout the remaining summer days?

Here are 5 tips to keeping children motivated long after the last day of school.

1) Scrabble tournaments are perfect in helping children learn, build vocabulary, play and channel excitement towards a productive challenge.
2)  Take it outside!  Learning outdoors is more fun than the routine indoor classroom.  Read and complete homework assignments outdoors to change up the atmosphere and get the creative juices flowing.

3)    Challenges allow students to use creativity and critical thinking to create a solution.  Try making a floating boat out of recyclables or a device to prevent an egg from cracking when it is dropped.

4)    Everyone is an author.  Have children create their own story using drawings and writing skills to make it cohesive.

5)    Grow seeds and record their growth.  Children will be excited to learn how plants and vegetables grow and even more thrilled when they see how they made it happen.
