Volunteer with Your Kids
With an increasing need to make sense of an overwhelming world, finding opportunities to get out and give back is an awesome opportunity for families to recharge and reconnect.
Have a Stuffed Animal Storytime Adventure!
Bring your child’s furry friends to life while encouraging a love of reading.
Host an Unplugging Block/Neighborhood Party
Bring your community together (if Covid allows) by hosting a street party with games, food, beverages and more.
Plan an evening of laughter
It’s easy to avoid checking your phone when you’re too busy laughing. Host a comedy night. For the 21+ crowd, consider partnering with a local comedy club for your unplugged night.
Get your kids to laugh
Keep your kids laughing by using everyday objects in new and unexpected ways. Wear your pants on your head as a hat, put your shirt on backwards, use a banana as a phone.
Have a pillow fight
Time for a pillow fight! Lay out the rules in advance, use soft pillows, keep the zippers away from faces and start swinging.
Create a joke jar
Write jokes on slips of paper and keep them in a jar to pull out when you need a good laugh.
Blow and pop bubbles
Buy or make your own solution or learn how to make giant bubbles with a tri-string giant bubble wand.
Play the HA HA game
Lay your head on each other’s bellies and laugh out loud. Laughter is the best medicine!
Play charades
Play a game of charades. We found a good list of 150 charades ideas for kids and adults.
Put on a puppet show
Writing the story, making the puppet stage and creating sock puppets, you can fill hours of time away from screens and make good use of those lone socks that have lost their pair.
