Preparing Jams

Ideas for Older Elementary Schoolers

These in-person activities are fun, easy, and good for you and your grandkid. They may even teach you new things, like how to use a new website or how to be more interactive. These activities are for ages 8 to 12, and are for boys and girls.

Coffee and Games
Make your own BINGO

You can make it at home for free.  

1. Cut up red paper into small circles or any color of your choice. 

2. You draw your letters on a small 10-by-6-inch paper. 

3.  After you do that, you make another 2 by 4 cubes that are the same word from your 10 by 6 inch paper .  4.  After that, you have an easy 30-minute project for you and your grandkids.

Teaching Origami
 Shark Tank for Pretend (Just like on TV)

 Shark tank for pretend: what you will need- stuff to show to the judges like: coloring or books, maybe even a new blanket. Use your imagination to come up with a new idea, product or a service to have fun. Children come up with ideas to present to the judges.  The judges decide how good the idea was.  It could be a product or a service.   Don't forget that it's your turn too to present your idea or product  to your grandchild.   It's so much fun for you to think of a new idea and let your grandchild judge you too.

This website was inspired by my online and in-person relationship with my 3 granddaughters.  Our time together is priceless.  We worked on this website together and most of the ideas come from activities we have enjoyed together, either long distance or in-person.
