With a toddler or a young child (between 0 and 6 years old), for activities outside the home, we rely on early learning activities or outdoor games to develop autonomy, motor skills or even their 5 senses. to parks and gardens with playgrounds to animal observation (zoos, aquariums and especially educational farms).
With the older children (from 6/7 years old and up to pre-adolescence around 10 to 12 years old), everything is easy, it’s a very nice age group. They are curious, creative, playful and very much in demand for outings and activities outside the home. It’s a very nice age. Children need to be fed and are eager to learn and discover. For this age group of 6 to 12 years old, we like activities that mix games and pedagogy such as outdoor Escape Games, fun and cultural. Or thematic guided tours that will make them discover a part of the history of France or Paris, a district, a painting movement while having fun. And always,the swimming pool, the ice rink, workshops (the Kapla center), the parks (Disneyland Paris or France Miniature).
With pre-teens and teens, it gets complicated. You’ll have to be inventive and creative in your proposals (to get them off their screens). Offer them an Escape Game, a ride on an electric quad bike or electric scooter with an animator who is fishing, a bowling trip or visits on the theme of Street Art (big success with teenagers). Pronounce the words Parc Astérix or Disneyland Paris, it always works!
