Here are some ideas for your August family night in:
- Have a limbo contest in the yard. Up the ante by using a stream of hose water to go under instead of a limbo stick.
- Create a brochure of your dream vacation. Include ideas from all family members.
- Start a "Special Memories" folder. Get an accordion folder with 12 sections and label each section with months of the year. Put your mementos (ticket stubs, invitations, etc.) in each month. Next year you can take the items from the folder and tell stories about the event.
- Have a recipe scavenger hunt. Each family member is assigned one or more ingredients or cooking utensils to find. When everything is assembled, then the food item is prepared.
- Make sidewalk chalk paint: In several cups, stir together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, Add food coloring to each cup, a different color in each container. Use paintbrushes to apply to sidewalks or driveways.
