“Using 12 blank pieces of paper or individual cards, write down the fun activities below on each card:
- “Write Holiday Cards for your neighbors or stuffed animals.
- “Learn how to sing a new Holiday song.
- “Go on a nature walk and pick different fun things (twigs, pine cones, acorns, rocks, seeds, etc) – then make some ornaments with those newfound objects.
- “Choose toys that you don’t play with anymore and donate them.
- “Learn how to say ‘Happy Holidays’ in a different language and call someone on the phone to share this with them.
- “Make a family video of everyone singing a favorite Holiday song. Make sure to dress-up, and be goofy!
- “Build a snow (or mud) man outdoors. Use a carrot for the nose, twigs for the arms, and a hat and scarf for decoration.
- “Write a family Holiday Book. Use pictures of everyone in the family and write funny stories about each member of the family.
- “Make gifts or ornaments for the neighbors.
- “Use an empty box to create a Holiday atmosphere/room for some plastic or wooden figurines.
- “Have a dance party with Holiday songs. One person pauses the music, and everyone else has to freeze. The first person to move needs to tell everyone else a joke.
- “Learn a Holiday song in a different language! Then make a video of it.
“You can do a few activities every day leading up to the end of the year, or you can do them all in one day…”
“Happy Holidays!
“Much love and greetings, Camila”
