5 Simple Ways to improve general knowledge of children

 


General Knowledge is not a subject with a set curriculum, and that’s when it can become tricky for many. Improving general knowledge is a slow process. General Knowledge has a strong correlation to other learning traits like problem solving, intelligence and open mindedness. This is one of the reasons general knowledge is used to measure competence during entrance tests.


So here’s how a parent can help their child in developing their general knowledge. Here are 5 simple yet effective habits.


  • A habit to read - Encourage reading beyond the curriculum - Reading can be a great activity, not only to improve language and comprehension but also for general knowledge. Your children don’t just have to read encyclopedias to improve their G.K. Making a habit to read several fictional books can also introduce them to several new concepts and ideas that boost their general knowledge. You can also enroll your child in a book club where he can learn about different characters and story themes.    

 

  • Watching informative TV and online shows - The kids in today’s world consume a lot of information on the TV as well as on the Internet, but channelizing their precious time in informative TV and online shows, such as The National Geographic Channel or TED-Ed can help a lot. These channels are quite interesting and can generate your kids' curiosity.    


  • Encouraging your child to socialize - Every child needs a friend not just to play with but also to help him learn about various things including technology, sports and other important events. Parents must encourage and motivate their children to interact with other kids. Socialization can help in improving your child’s general knowledge. Parents should ensure that their child participates in all the programs that help improve his/her general knowledge. 


  • Play interactive educational games - Mixing education with entertainment is the best way to teach kids. Interactive games such as “Hop on the World Map” and “World Bingo” can make learning general knowledge a lot more fun. Playing board and group games on themes of Geography, English and math can help kids in enjoying the entire process of learning.

 

  • Reading the newspaper everyday - Inculcate the good habit of reading newspapers in your child by subscribing to child-friendly news magazines and activity books that enhance their overall knowledge. You must encourage them to solve crossword puzzles daily.  

  

  • Visit museums - Take your child to a museum and let him saunter about and check what is on display. It can be the history section, the art and science section. But, do visit the section, you never know what your child will be interested in.
