I am making a client profile for my Product Design class but I have kinda run out of ideas as to what kids aged 3-10 (both boys and girls) will like and dislike. It's meant to be things like animals, activities, colours, stuff like that. Thanks in advance xx


Answer
It all depends on their personal preference. Not all kids like the same things. However, some things that my kids like are:

3 & 4 year old male

Animals- They have liked all animals that they have came in contact with so far. Some of their favorites are dogs, cats, elephants, worms and bugs.

Activities- They like to play with almost any toys including cars, blocks, dolls, guns, balls and any other toy. They like to fingerpaint,color, cut and glue things, make playdough and play with it, paint toast, draw, playing in dirt, skating, riding bikes, do puzzles, blow bubbles, draw with chalk, play sports, sing, play on swing sets and in sand boxes, play in/with water, dance and listen to music. They like to pretend play like pretending to be cops and robbers, doctors, teachers, mommy and daddy and lots of other things.

Colours- They like all different colors especially bright colors.

Girls in that age group that I have been around seem to like the same things with a few exceptions maybe.

5-6 old boys

I've only been around 1 boy of that age so far. He liked the same things that the 3 & 4 year old do. He also liked going for walks in the mountains and woods, playing with action figures.

5-6 year old girls

A lot of the same things as above unless they are really girly. Girly girls like playing with barbies and other dolls, playing with pretend makeup and nail polish, dressing up as princesses and other people. They also like doing some of the things mentioned above like playing with bubbles, jump ropes, playing with toys, reading, music, dancing and playing house, teachers and doctors.

7-10 year old

I don't know a lot about kids this age but I do have two family members within this age range. They like to do the activities mentioned above but would rather play cops and robbers, fire fighters, police officers or cowboys and indians instead of pretending to be teachers and doctors. They like to go on nature walks, play in the dirt, wrestle, play on swing sets, play video games, watch tv, play with friends, race and many more things. The animals and colours they like depend on personal preference as it does with every age. Young kids tend to like bright colors though.

What are different kinds of awards to give kids on the motocross team I coach?




Just wonde


I am coaching a team for kids from 10-15 years old and want to give out awards at the end of the season...like MVP. What are some other awards I could give out?
I do plan to have an award for every racer



Answer
Get in touch with the local importers who deal with bike stuff. Where I one such is called monza imports and ask for some freebies. Also local bike shops and get stickers and odds and ends that don't cost much and do up some grab bags so all the kids can have one.

Don't just give out 'most improved' and such as while it is great to be achieving I find sometimes this only focusses on one or two riders and they get the pats on the back the whole way through. Did anyone have a big off in training as you could give out a 'bent handlebars award' One of the clubs I am involved with actually has this and it really is a set of bent handlebars. So make a few fun awards like this as well.

A lot of coaches I know get the kids to balance on their bikes and try to have a slow race. Those with good balance can stay upright with the bike basically not moving for ages. See who is best at this and give them an award. So you could make the end of year a fun things as well. Have a race where they have to start by putting their boots on before running to their bike and doing a lap. Again you can award a prize for it. You can do a tag team race where you put the riders in groups spreading the ability out and making sure each group has a 50cc bike to slow them down. See who gets over the finish line first with each member of the group doing a lap.


This way the day is fun and the kids go home, some with real achievement awards and others with just a fun award.
