Scavenger Hunt

Play inside or around your yard. Everyone gets a list of items, the last person to collect each item has to put everything away - that’s the rule!

Chalk Murals

Take your artistic skills to the streets, well not literally - stay away from the actual streets… but you can design a chalk mural on your driveway or sidewalk, or take it to the park and write messages for people to see on their walks.

Book Club

Use a video chat to start a book club with your family and friends. Companies like Audible have free stories for kids (https://stories.audible.com/start-listen) and are offering a free 30 day trial! You never know, you may find a book even better than your Netflix show!

Learn a New Skill

Have you ever wanted to learn to paint? Sew? Speak Chinese? Do a headstand? Now’s your chance!

Learn to Cook

Remember all of those recipes you’ve been bookmarking for the past few years? You better buy a kitchen apron, this could get messy.

Have a DIY Day

Get creative with DIY (do it yourself) projects! Paint an old bookshelf, make a bird feeder, build a rock garden, or make a cereal box mini golf course. (https://thedecoratedcookie.com/kix-cereal-box-golf/)

Take a Virtual Tour

You could make your own tour on Google Maps, or you can check out this list of 30 Amazing Virtual Tours of Museums, Zoos, and Theme Parks! (https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/a31784720/best-virtual-tours/)

Presentation Night

I know the last thing your kids will want to do is another assignment, but I promise, this could be fun. Everyone gets a random topic, creates a PowerPoint, and presents it to the family. Who doesn’t want to hear dad’s presentation on the history of Barbie?

Set up a Backyard Campsite

Tents, fire, smores. Some call it camping, others call it peace and quiet from your kids for a few hours.

Train for a 5k

Sign up for a virtual 5k and race on your own time, and at your own pace! This is a great way to stay active and motivated while enjoying the fresh air.

Plant a Garden

Turn gardening into an educational experience for your kids. You can teach them how to plant fruits and vegetables and let them harvest them once they're ripe. This is a perfect hands-on activity, and they even get a snack out of it!
