Are your kids driving you crazy with their endless energy and constant need for entertainment during the holiday season? Look no further, because we have the perfect solution: a list of hilarious and holiday-themed activities to keep the little ones busy and out of your hair!
- Gingerbread house decorating wars: Divide the kids into teams and give each team a gingerbread house kit. Set a timer for 20 minutes and let the decorating begin! The team with the most creative and festive gingerbread house wins. Bonus points if the winning team can somehow incorporate a partridge in a pear tree into their design.
- Elf on the shelf treasure hunt: Hide the elf in a different location each day and give the kids clues to help them find him. The first one to find the elf gets to be the designated elf-mover for the next day. Just make sure to hide the elf in a place that’s not too difficult to find, otherwise you might have a bunch of frustrated and cranky kids on your hands.
- Reindeer games: Set up a series of holiday-themed obstacle courses in your backyard or living room and let the kids compete to see who can complete them the fastest. Some ideas for obstacles include: a candy cane hopscotch, a snowball toss, and a sledding relay race (using a plastic sled or a large piece of cardboard).
- Christmas movie marathon: Break out the hot cocoa, pop some popcorn, and settle in for a day of Christmas movie watching. Encourage the kids to come up with their own movie lineup and let them take turns picking which movies to watch. Pro tip: make sure to include a few classic holiday movies that even the adults will enjoy.
- Holiday science experiments: Get the kids excited about science with a series of fun and festive experiments. Some ideas include creating a snowstorm in a jar, making homemade ornaments that change color when exposed to heat, and experimenting with different ingredients to create the perfect batch of holiday-scented play dough.
With these activities, your kids will be entertained for hours and you’ll be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday season. Happy holidays!
