Winter doesn’t mean that the family fun must be restricted to indoor activities. You can still enjoy outdoor activities and keep fit as a family. Here are some interesting ideas to try:

Tubing, sledding/coasting

Sliding downhill is fun for both adults and kids. You can set this up using toboggans, plastic snow disks, inner tubes or plastic bags. A local park or the neighborhood would be an ideal venue for this. However, you should dress appropriately in layers and wear thick boots.

Build snow forts/snowmen

You can plan a family snowman tournament to see who can create the best snowman. You can make it more interesting by creating other animals and not just snowmen.

Snowball fight

This game is always unplanned. It has just one rule: have fun. You can opt to create rules for the game to make it fun. Ensure that the kids don’t hide behind rocks. Players should not throw too hard or target faces. You can have fun while exercising as a family.

Skiing

Take your kids on a ski vacation to a resort. This option does not have to be expensive. You can plan to visit a local ski for one day. You can also opt to rent skis to really enjoy the experience. Some local parks set up a mini ski resort for people in the neighborhood.

It is difficult to get your teen to come out on a normal day because of the advent of video games, computers, and cell phones. But spending a lot of time in front of a computer screen is not ideal for anybody. You can engage your teen with some of these tips on a rainy day:

Start a play

Acting is an excellent way to be creative. You can encourage your teen to write a skit or get some from the internet. The play can be performed for friends, family as well as younger kids in the area.

Cooking

You can practice teamwork when you cook together. Prepare lunch or dinner as a team and make it more interesting by giving the food to people who need it more.

Play a card game

You can keep teenagers thinking with card games, some favorites to try out include whist, hearts, rummy, poker and kings in the corner.

Go to the zoo

Visit a zoo or museum to show your teen interesting exhibits and amazing animals. You can also visit art fairs, free concerts, book talks and other local cultural events.

Go bowling

Bowling doesn’t require any expertise, and it is an excellent way to flex your muscle. It may also be a way for your teen to socialize with his peers.

Volunteering

Encourage your teen to volunteer at a food bank, animal shelter, public library or hospital.

Planning a vacation for the family can be difficult, especially if you have more than one child. Toddlers may prefer to visit a kid’s park while you want to visit museums. You can plan adequately to visit all the areas of interest as a family. Here are some tips to get you started:

Split the daily activities

Kids are excited by simple activities so it’s best to plan a few activities during the day. For example, you can spend a few hours golfing and after that, build a sand castle with buckets and shovels.

Shorten sightseeing trips

It is better to plan a two-hour tour than to go on a day tour that lasts the whole day. Kids have a shorter attention span, and such a trip could be boring for them.

Keep your schedule flexible

Kids have their own schedules and may not always want to follow your plans. It the child is cranky in the morning, it could mess up your plans. The child may also want to nap sometimes.

Budget a babysitter

Make plans to get a babysitter to give you some alone time with your partner. It does not have to be extravagant; you may just need some quiet time alone.

Stay in one location during the trip

Kids are stressed when they have to move around often. It also reduces your stress as well.
