It rained during the trip! How to entertain the children?

During the holidays, that family trip is one of the most anticipated moments, isn’t it? We make many plans for tours and activities to entertain the children during this time, but no matter how much we plan ahead, there’s always something beyond our control – like the weather, for example. When rain becomes a complicating factor for outdoor walks, it’s time to start wondering how to make the trip fun for the whole family.

The first thing you can think of is that being in a hotel, away from home, is a problem. On the contrary! A new environment is something very stimulating to entertain the children. Also, if you think the pranks inside the hotel room are restricted to the video game, Ipad and cell phone, you’re wrong. Rede Rio offers hotels in downtown rio de janeiro and hotel lapa rio de janeiro with several options to entertain the little ones!

To help parents with this task, we’ve separated some tips to entertain the children during rainy days. Stay tuned, it’s important to think about these tips when packing! Check it out:

4 tips to entertain the children during rainy days

1-     Pack cards and board games

This is a golden tip to entertain the children: card games, for example, do not weigh heavily in the suitcase and are important allies when it comes to entertaining and bringing the whole family together for the same activity.

2-     If you forgot to take the games, use creativity

Many games children love only need paper and pen. Hash game, hangman game, adedanha, games of divination (mime), among many others, usually get a good laugh and do not need many resources to entertain the children.

3-     Enjoy the time to stimulate reading

You can make a cabin with sheets from your bed and read your children’s favorite stories (let them choose the books they want to take on the trip). If you have not taken one, ask for their help to come up with a new story. Just start with an “Once Upon a Time …” and let the creativity roll loose!

4-     Tour indoor

Rain can keep us from doing many things, but it does not necessarily stop us from walking around the city. In that case, choose indoor locations close to the hotel.

A good tip for a walk with the children in Rio is Colombo Confectionary, for example, a historic place, able to take anyone straight to the last years of the nineteenth century and with a menu that appeals to all tastes. Kids will love to play back to the past and still try the delicious snacks. Confectionary Colombo is just a 18 minutes walk away from the Arosa Rio and is also very close to other hotels of the network.

As tedious as rainy days may seem, entertaining the children requires only a little dedication and goodwill. Even if the weather does not cooperate with an outdoor walk, these jokes and family moments will be part of the travel memories!

In addition, especially when traveling with children, it’s important not to waste time in long journeys between the main sights of the city. For this reason, when visiting Rio, choose a Rio de Janeiro downtown hotel that best fits your travel itinerary: they are all very close to the main tourist attractions of the city. To make it even better, we have a promotion for children up to 6 years of age, Kids Free! Check it out by clicking here. Now, if you don’t have kids and is looking for nightlife, staying in Arosa, highlight among hotels in Rio de Janeiro, may be the best option as it is a hotel in lapa rio of the highest quality!
