Consider having a snowball fight or create a family of snowman and then go inside to enjoy some hot cocoa with your kids during winter vacation to warm up.
Play Indoors
Consider creating your own indoor obstacle course or scavenger hunt that parents and kids can enjoy during winter vacation. Turn off the electronics, and sit down to come up with a full-day agenda of what you’ll do with your kids inside during winter break. There are many things you can play indoors without electronics such as hide n seek, scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, and even board games together.
Independent Time

Have at least 1-2 hours scheduled each day for parents and kids to have their own independent reading time or relax time so that you don’t get too stressed out spending a full winter vacation with your kids.
Play with Food
Gather up your favorite recipes and have some fun playing with food. Let your kids find some fun recipe ideas that they want to learn to make.
