Recreate this iconic game in your own home with larger blocks made from wood boards or cardboard boxes for twice the fun. Just make sure every piece has the same size. Lastly, stack them up and let the games begin.
Plan a Treasure Hunt
A treasure hunt is a classic game for any occasion. It’s affordable and easy to prepare. You can also do
it in your home, backyard, or neighborhood. Spruce up your usual hunt with an exciting theme. Once you’ve decided on your theme, formulate the clues. It can be a riddle, a puzzle, or a dare; you just need to think outside the box. Lastly, don’t forget to fill your treasure box with thrilling prizes.
Camp Indoors
Whether the weather is not cooperating or staying out in the wilderness might feel a little risky for your kids, give indoor camping a shot. Minus the outdoors, indoor camping can be just as fascinating with the help of your imagination, encouraging the kids to be creative. Start by assembling a tent or a blanket fort, then add comfy pillows and sleeping bags. Place glow in the dark stars on the ceiling and hang Christmas lights for a better atmosphere. Complete your camping trip by crafting a fake campfire and cooking s’mores.
