Let the kids get involved in making their own pizzas. Give them each a personal-sized pizza crust and let them top it with their favorite toppings. Cook the pizzas in the oven and enjoy a fun, family-friendly dinner.
3. Have an indoor picnic
Lay out a blanket on the floor and have a picnic right in your living room. Let the kids help make sandwiches or finger foods to enjoy.

8. Do a science experiment
There are many easy science experiments that can be done right in your own kitchen. The kids will love doing them and they’ll learn a thing or two along the way. Check out some recipes online or in science books.
9. Put on a play
This is a great activity for older children. Write out a script or use one from a favorite book or movie. Assign parts and let the kids put on their own production. They can even charge family members an “admission fee” to watch the show.
10. Have a scavenger hunt
This is a fun activity for all ages. Write out a list of items that can be found around the house or hide objects around the house and make a list for the kids to find them. The first one to find all the objects wins a prize.
