4th Grade Activities
From cool card games that teach place value, to outdoor activities that introduce buoyancy, reading activities, writing, and more, we've got what you need to keep learning on the go. So, clear off the kitchen table and round up the family. Here's a stack of things to do with your fourth grader.
Play Sun Tag!
Here's a perfect beach game: it's tag but with a twist! Draw a circle in the sand and have "it" try to catch the rest of the players without stepping foot in the circle!
Play Tip It! at Your Next Party
If you're looking for a fun party game for your child, try playing Tip It. Kids love it because it's silly, rowdy, and jam-packed with laughs! This game is perfect for groups, parties, sleepovers, and people of all ages!
Guess the Distance: A Car Game
Looking for a fun game to play in the car? Try Blind Distance! It will teach your child about depth perception in a fun way, and will distract her from asking the dreaded question "Are we there yet?" At least for a little while!
Play Pass the Sponge
If you're looking for a fun way to cool off, try having a sponge race! This game is perfect for a group to play on a hot day at the park. It's easy to set up and fun to play!
Play Beach Burst-Out
Next time you head to the beach, try playing this spin-off of Red Rover! It's a fun way to stay active during the summer, and can be played at the beach or the park!
Play Pool Basketball
Looking for a fun and competitive pool game? Look no further! Just grab some hula hoops and a couple water balloons and you're ready to play some pool basketball! It's a great game for the whole family and is perfect for all ages.
Make a Prefix-Suffix Flip Book
Here's a tool that will help your fourth grader break down complex words without a sweat. Create a prefix-suffix flip-book and help improve your child's decoding skills and vocabulary.
Medieval Cathedrals: Stained Glass and the Art of Architecture
Get inspired by the beautiful stained glass windows of Medieval cathedrals and make your own work of art out of materials you can find right in your home. This activity is perfect for a summer day when there's nothing to do, and you'll learn a little history while you're at it!
Unplug Yourself with a "Little House" Dinner
The "Little House" books are a popular series with adults and kids alike. In this activity, you'll start a book club with your family and then plan a themed dinner based on the "Little House" books. It's a guaranteed good time for everyone!
Write to a Soldier!
Help your child gain a better understanding of what it means to serve our country, and improve reading and writing, by becoming pen pals with a deployed soldier. This is a great project for all ages to start on the 4th of July, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, or any day of the year!
