Help, help, somebody help me. Those were the words of my son Julito when he saw the table full of puzzles to solve. Let me explain better. The child is on vacation and I need him to have fun activities to do.
Listening to fun music appropriate for children, dancing, reading and solving puzzles. That is what I intend to do with my son, among other activities. He prefers to play ball. He would also like to take a guitar course, he would like to learn to play guitar although we have a problem, we don't have an instrument and for now we can't buy one because it is very expensive.
These days it is very hot, playing in the yard is what the children want the most, but there is an intense sun. The tropical sun these days can do a lot of damage to the skin. Temperatures are above 35 degrees and the wind chill is around 38 degrees. So it is better to stay indoors.
Julito wants to be a baseball player and constantly wants to train, he is always talking about baseball and has bought himself, gloves, bats and got himself a professional ball. So he got scared when he saw the puzzle books, word search puzzles. I also looked for two puzzles for him, although very easy for his 10 years old.
The puzzles are dinosaur puzzles very easy to solve, in less than 2 minutes she managed to do them because they only have 10 pieces. I recovered one from when he was 4 years old which has a purely educational function to reaffirm colors, numbers and vowels.
In the store where I bought them there was a big one with 150 pieces, but it was very expensive, more than a thousand pesos, so I decided to buy two of less price.
Finally I also took out his chess set. The little boy was not very animated at first. He told me mom I think it's too much and I'd rather ride a bike, play ball and watch some movies. Anyway, I left everything on the table, I tell you that the first afternoon he spent almost two hours solving crossword puzzles. He said it helped, but he wanted me to tell him the meaning of some word, to which I responded by lending him a dictionary, "Mom, but what you want is for me to study a lot.
I explained to him that solving crusigrams is important to stimulate the brain, it is a gymnastics for the neurons. He wanted to compete with his friends and invited them to do crossword puzzles to see who could finish faster.
What worried him the most was the chess game, he asked me to download some tutorials to remember because he hasn't played chess for more than 2 years. His dad promised to take him to the house of the chess teacher he had in first grade. This board game is very interesting, it stimulates thinking and creativity.
At the cry for help, I went to him and encouraged him. I love doing puzzles and solving crusigrams, so from time to time we sit together and do these activities. It's fun, you learn words, it creates a spirit of learning. While the sun is shining outside and it's hot, it's best to be indoors. The sun is wonderful for plants, but human exposure to the sun can be very dangerous, there are many skin conditions and even burns that can occur.
Don't worry, the child will also have time to play ball, ride a bicycle and other activities. This call for help is not a cause for concern.

Hello @yanerkidiaz
How are you? It's been a while, glad to see your little one is having vacations but I do understand that they need something to entertain themselves. When my son was smaller we also did the same, puzzles, games, activities etc. I hope one day he can get a musical instrument too, it would be great - imagine if he could accompany you one day, with some of your tenths! We can also listen to music, in the background while chess is played, right?
Hi, how nice to hear from you. I have been away from hive for a little while because I am working on my PhD thesis and research is complicated and takes time and effort. The boy is on vacation and is very active. I have been looking for a teacher to teach him to play guitar, but you have to bring the instrument and we don't have one. For the time being he is riding a bicycle, solving crossword puzzles, playing ball, he also wants to be a ball player. During my vacations I want to advance my doctoral thesis. A warm greeting from my boy and me.
WOW what an idea! Puzzles for practicing the numbers!
Thanks for the visit and yes it is a great idea for kids, and also for adults I have a lot of fun.
