You find yourself spending a lot of time at home. Whatever the reason, you’re stuck at home and want to maintain a hint of your sanity!
Here are a few things you can do to stay active and entertained if you find yourself spending more time at home with your kids.
Bring out the board games!
Have some fun and encourage a little friendly competition with a game night! Bonus points if you add in some comfort food along with it. Bring out all the board games, puzzles, and plain ‘ole imagination to get the entire family involved. For example, we love to play a game we call: “Search & Find!” Here’s how it works: We use any of the kid’s small toys. One person asks everyone else to close their eyes and hides the toy in plain sight, and then, everyone has 10 seconds to find it!
It’s way more fun than it sounds haha, promise.
Some family favorites:
- Monopoly (Board game or card deck version)
- Candy Land
- Snakes and Ladders
- Uno
- Black Jack
- Scrabble
- Rock, Paper, Scissors
- Twister
- Rhino Hero
Work it out
Keep your health and wellbeing in check by being diligent about your daily movement. If you’re usually a gym freak, then consider apps, youtube, and other virtual memberships to get it done! Or, go simple with a tracker and walk your way to better health, alone or with the family.

YouTube Channels:
- Cosmic Kids

Grow your brain!
