Questions parents ask
What can we do with kids over the long weekend?
Give each day one job: cook on Thursday, move on Friday, go out and play a game on Saturday, slow down on Sunday. The table has pages for each.
What do we do on the day after Thanksgiving?
Start with exercises at home, then a Rainy Day Box project. If it is a school day off, this is the long free morning.
How do we keep the kids busy with relatives visiting?
Games the whole room can play: charades, trivia and Game Night.
Are these free?
Everything here is free through the end of 2026, with no ads, no sign-up and nothing to download.
