Article: Activities While Kids Are Out of School

50 Activities For Kids When There Is No School

by Kelly Whalen

Whenever the kids have a day off school I know I have to be prepared. I need to provide activities for the kids whether we’re at home or out and about. Sure they could sit home and hang out all day (cough*on screens*cough), but with a little direction, a long list of things to do, and places to go; we’re more likely to have a good day.

2. Make a treasure hunt: Make a list of things they need to find wherever you are heading. The grocery store can be drawings of their favorite foods, while the park can be things like a bird, a rock, a sandbox, etc.

13. Movie marathon (great for rainy days): Rachee from Say it Rah-shay shared, “We have a lazy movie day. My daughter and I run, run, run so much that on days when we are obligation free we get a bunch of movies that we love, favorite snacks and have mini marathons.”

23. Board Game Day: Barb from a Life in Balance said a board game day would be a fun way to pass the time. I know in our house we have many we’ve never played! If you’re like my kids it will soon dissolve into combining the games together to make a ‘super game.’
