Have a bake off.
When you have some free time with the kids, it’s
always fun to enjoy some cooking or baking. Get
creative and do a cupcake decorating contest or
a cooking competition that models your favorite
reality show. If your kids aren’t old enough for
that, keep things simple and bake some sweet treats
like brownies or cookies together. This might also
be a great time to teach your child a traditional
family recipe that has been passed down through
generations.
Play outside.
Go outside and play. Enjoy riding bikes, playing in
the yard, taking a trip to the park, going for a walk
or a nature hike. Even if the temps are a little cooler
or wet where you live, a few minutes to run around
outside can get the wiggles out and everyone, even
your reluctant ones, will feel better with some fresh
air and exercise.
Have a movie marathon.
Give your kids permission to enjoy some extra
screen time and have a movie marathon. Pick a
theme like Disney movies, a trilogy, funny movies,
or just let each family member pick a favorite. Pop
some popcorn, curl up on the couch, and enjoy. You
may also consider reading a book that was turned
into a movie in the weeks leading up to spring break
so you can enjoy the movie together after you have
finished reading the book.
