School’s out for summer, and for kids across America, school supplies are the last things on their minds right now. But there’s one school-related purchase that can bring them hours of fun and enjoyment at home or on the road during summer vacation. We’re talking, of course, about the school headphones you purchased for your kid to use during remote learning or in class. If you’d rather see your investment get put to good use during the summer months than sit in the bottom of your child’s backpack, we’ve got excellent news for you: school headphones can be used for a number of recreational activities as well as for educational reasons. Dust off those headphones and get ready to get your money’s worth this summer with these three tips.
Road Trip Relief
Driving for hours on end with kids just got a lot more fun! Your child can use their school headphones for listening to music, stories, and more on a smartphone, tablet or other device while you’re on the road. Not only will the headphones help your child to create a focused, distraction-free environment that helps to pass the time, but you and the other passengers can enjoy a much quieter ride!
Gaming Gear
Did you know that distance learning headsets can also double as gaming headsets? Wireless headsets that were originally purchased for remote learning use are compatible with virtually any device that supports Bluetooth, including most popular gaming consoles. Your little gamer can stay focused and play their games without disturbing other members of the family. These headsets are ideal for online gameplay with chat functions, allowing your child to talk with friends and have a virtual play date during vacation!
In-Flight Entertainment
School headphones can be a parent’s best friend when you’re traveling by air! Help ease your child’s in-flight boredom by allowing them to watch their favorite shows, play games, listen to music and more using their school headphones and a tablet. Since school headphones tend to be equipped with a universal 3.5 mm TRRS plug, they can be used with virtually any device with a headphone jack. Don’t own a compatible smartphone or tablet? No worries- you can purchase adapter dongles to make sure your kids have the right connection. Count on a stress-free flight when your little ones are occupied with some great entertainment!
Don’t just let your kids’ school headphones sit idle until school starts again. Put them to use with these suggestions and more, guaranteed to kick summer vacation up a couple of notches on the fun meter!
