Stay inside and stay warm! Today is the perfect day to be cozy. Although it’s tempting to want to lay on the couch all day and watch T.V. or play videogames, here are a couple of fun ideas for you to do that are both fun and healthy!

1. Dance party

Put on your favorite tunes and let loose! Don’t worry about how you look- it’s all in good fun!

2. Hula-Hooping Competition

Find a nice, open space in the house and try to hula hoop for 5 minutes straight. Don’t give up! Keep doing it until you get close!

3. Hide-and-go-seek

4. Board Games

There’s nothing like grabbing a cup of hot chocolate and playing Sorry!, Checkers, or Clue Jr.

5. Arts and Crafts
