Hobbies And Interests
Educational Video Games
Educational video games are popular with little boys. You can purchase games that teach math, reading and coordination skills. Some games even teach children a second language. If you're worried that your little boy won't be getting enough exercise, you can buy games that come with kid-size exercise bikes. Children have to pedal in order to play the game. Motion-control game systems also have educational games that your child can physically interact with.
Party Games
Party games are a great way to teach your little boy how to interact with other kids. Pin the tail on the donkey, hide and seek, balloon volleyball and board games are classic party activities. Party games encourage little boys to run around, be physical and play with other kids. Many of these games have the versatility of being played inside or outside. They're the perfect way to entertain boys on a rainy day or get them outside if the weather is nice.
Sports
Sports are often a favorite pastime of little boys. Your child might be passionate about a certain sport or just play for fun, either way sports are good exercise and teach coordination and balance. They are also a good opportunity to teach your child about teamwork. Little boys love basketball, baseball, hockey and other team sports. Encourage them by signing them up for a team or playing with them in the backyard.
Camp Games
Camp and survival games are exciting and educational. They're perfect for little boys who like adventure and being outdoors. Scavenger hunts, backyard camping and other scouting games can be done from the safety of home. Teach your child to use a compass and see if he can follow directions. Draw him a map that leads to buried treasure. You could bury dollar store toys in a plastic baggie.
