Spring Break: The Ultimate “Stay-Cation”

spring

Turn that week off from school into the vacation of a lifetime!

Here’s how to have never-ending fun while staying in town:

1.) “Travel the World” Week

Draw countries out of a hat or have a family vote! Choose five places that everyone is interested in traveling to/learning about, research facts on internet, and print photos to create a travel scrapbook. You can even choose authentic recipes to fit the theme and make dinners from around the world.

2.) Board Games & Floats

Bust out every board game in the house and get playing! This is a fun activity that is good for any night of break. All you need is vanilla ice cream and a variety of sodas to make the perfect float bar.

3.) Backwards Day

Spend the entire day doing everything backwards! Wear your clothes backwards, have breakfast for dinner, and dessert for breakfast. Everyone in the family will enjoy the silliness.
