There is plenty of opportunity over spring break to be together as a family. So, let us encourage you to make the most of it! Here are a few ideas for fun family bonding. They’re also ideas to remain sane during the adjustment of everyone being home. Family game battles. Think this: Battle royal on board games that last all week. We are talking- make a chart, compete against one other in all types of things, and have prizes for the winners. This is a fun idea for all ages. Things to consider a competition include: eating marshmallows, folding laundry, any and all board games, making pizza, pin the tail on the donkey, etc. Did you know that kids are more likely to eat something you’ve made for dinner if they’re included in the meal making process? Consider making meals together throughout the week. You’ll be glad you shared your kitchen to get to know your family. Nature scavenger hunt. Pinterest has a ton of printable charts that allow you to step outside in your backyard and play scavenger hunt together. Date night kid exchange. Spring break isn’t all about the kids. Do you have a family in your area that have kids with similar ages as yours? You guys could host all the kids at your house for one night, and then allow the other family to host all the kids another night. Date night’s can be helpful to the mental health of the parents. Build a fort, and watch a movie. Bonfire? Make homemade playdough, kinetic sand, or slime. These are a little messy, but they’re time...
