KIDS CORNER

Have Fun Indoors!

With winter here in most of
the U.S., now is a good time to
try new activities and games
indoors with your family.
Here are 5 ideas:

1 Camp Out in Your Family Room
Put on your pajamas, grab your sleeping bags and your favorite stuffed animals, and camp out in the living
room. Make s’mores in the microwave and drink hot chocolate. Instead of telling ghost stories, share some
of your happiest family memories.

2 Watch a Movie Marathon
Over several nights or weekends, choose a new movie to watch followed by its sequels. Depending on the
children’s ages, this could be a cartoon series or a Marvel Comics or D.C. comics movie series.

3 Try No-Tech Fridays
On a weekend night when everyone is home, maybe Friday nights, create a “no tech” rule. But be sure to create
a night of family activities, like making pizzas or tacos together, followed by playing board or card games.

4 Create a Winter Scene Indoors
Get out the craft supplies and spend a weekend afternoon decorating the house. Create a winter
wonderland by making paper snowflakes, puffy paint snowmen or winter scenes with watercolors.
Feel free to tear out this activity sheet. Add the fun, sometimes silly, and healthy activity of dance to your weekly activities. Try out new music,

5 Embrace Dancing

create your own playlists, learn Tik-Tok dances or play “freeze dance” (like musical chairs except you dance
until the music stops and everyone freezes and tries to hold their pose).
