We all want our kids to be smart and knowledgeable. Not all kids have an in-built desire to learn – many can be distracted by the urge to play. You can help motivate your kids to learn new things by making the learning process fun and not treating it like a chore. Whether you’re trying to get them to read for the first time or teach them more advanced things, you can make the process more enjoyable by employing some of these five tricks.
 
Buy educational toys

For younger kids, there are plenty of educational toys out there that can combine learning and play time. For helping with reading, there are plenty of toys for matching up words to animals. Similarly, there are lots of maths toys that can help small kids to count. You can even teach geography with a puzzle in the shape of a world map. Nowadays, there are also educational video games and apps out there for kids that love their gadgets. Kids may be less interested in educational toys as they get older.

Play educational games

There are plenty of educational games that can be played to make learning a more fun process. Think about doing quizzes with rewards or buying educational board games. Many of these can make learning competitive and make kids feel as if they’re playing whilst learning. There are lots of sites that can give you inspiration on ​educational games​.

 Use videos and music

Some children are likely to be more motivated by visual and audial learning. There are lots of educational TV shows aimed at kids – you may be able to find these by flicking through channels or using a ​streaming service such as Netflix​. Music meanwhile can also help
children to remember things by encouraging them to sing along. There are lots of CDs out there with educational songs on, as well as educational nursery rhymes. 

Take your kids on educational trips

Another interactive method of learning could be to take your kid on an educational trip. This could be a daytrip to a museum or a zoo or even a holiday abroad to help teach them a new language. A new environment can often make it more memorable. You kid’s school may offer educational trips such as ​school trips to Krakow​. Such trips could be hugely worthwhile if you can afford to let your kids go on them.
 
Embrace your kids’ interests

As your kids get older, they’ll start to develop interests in certain fields. Try to embrace your children’s interests rather than forcing them to learn subjects that they have no passion for. Once your kids are passionate about something, they may go out of their ways to learn new things about it, whether it’s animals or planets or art. Consider buying them books related to their interests that they may want to pick up and read.
