Most people go out into the countryside on the May holidays. The happy owners of the summer cottage have the opportunity to live in their country house for several days, enjoying the spring warmth and young greenery. A summer vacation with the whole family is a fun and cozy pastime, but it is worth considering in advance an entertainment program not only for adults, but also for children.
If the weather is favorable, take a walk around the area, go to the forest and collect a bouquet of the first spring flowers. You can ride a bike. If there is a lake or pond nearby, go fishing or just sunbathe on the shore. Build and launch a boat, or take a radio-controlled toy yacht with you and try it out. Take a ball, frisbee or badminton racket with you to the dacha. Invite the children to play classics or jump rope. Outdoor sports games will strengthen children's health and give a lot of positive emotions. You can arrange a family competition, give the winner a prize. Build a sandbox for small children. You can do it yourself or buy a ready-made form. A safe option is a playground with a swing, a house and a slide. Take an inflatable pool with you. At the beginning of May, it is still early to swim, but you can “fish” and let the ducks in. The main thing is not to leave your baby unattended near the pool. There is always work in the country. Involve the children in useful outdoor activities. Plant the plants, break out a new flower bed, water the seedlings. Organize a treasure hunt. Bury “treasures” on your site in advance and draw a detailed map of the treasure. As the game progresses, you can come up with tasks and, for the correct answers, give children hints on finding treasures. The treasure can be sweets or small souvenirs packed in a box. What is outdoor recreation without barbecue? Marinate meat or fish ahead of time for a barbecue and have a real picnic. Take vegetables, fruits, herbs and water with you. In nature, appetite wakes up, so think over the issue of food thoroughly. Spend the evening playing board games and reading books. If you wish, you can find a lot of entertainment for a summer cottage, it all depends on your imagination and desire.
