While we're all away from one another - focus on spending time with your family, engaging in fun activities!
For Example...
Get Puzzled!: Work on a crossword puzzle, word search, or a 1,000 piece puzzle! (Our website has several Christian Themed crosswords on the Quarantine Fun page!)
Retro Movie Day: Pick a rainy day - and watch an OLD movie such as Wizard of Oz, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mary Poppins (the Original), etc.
Marie Kondo Challenge: Clean out a closet, the Garage, room or shelf - be sure to set aside items in good condition so they can be donated to those in need. Discard those items which are broken, expired, or no longer "bring you joy."
Flower Pot Day: Have each child plant flowers in a pot with their own "theme" choose colors, sun or shade, etc.
