Is weather dampening your vacation or do you just need a break from the shining sun? Every once in a while, it is necessary to take the outdoor vacation indoors. There are many fun family activities that you can create when stuck inside. What seemingly might seem like a bit of a bummer, can turn into one of our best vacation days and really bring your family together.

Games, games and more games! Whether it be board games, charades, trivia, card or interactive games, there is a sense of family closeness when sitting down (or standing up) to game time. You could let each person have a choice of game on each round to get everybody into it and maybe even offer prizes to the winners.

We all have an inner chef! Group and family cooking is finally getting the interest it deserves. Cooking is not just for mom anymore. Who wouldn’t want to play with dough during pizza making cooking class hosted by chef dad? You can make cooking ‘class’ fun and interactive while teaching kids (and adults) proper tool handling and use. The best part about it? Eating the food and feeling proud. Cooking is fun for the whole family.

Story time! Sit by the fire and tell stories of the past, present and future. Everyone has a good story to tell, whether it be real or fictional, sometimes it’s nice to just relax and have a conversation for a few hours. Or maybe the family would like to bask in the silence of reading a good book on each other’s own.

Arts and Crafts! Taking the vacation indoors gives everyone a little time to let their imaginations fly and get creative. Arts and crafts are limitless. A few ideas that relate to the vacation you might be on include scrapbooking your activities and pictures, journaling the memories from the trip so you and your family can remember the details of your journey, bringing the outdoors in by crafting with nature.

Being ‘stuck’ indoors is a great way to indulge in family time and have each family member dive into their imaginations to really play. Whether gaming or cooking, crafting or writing, any family time, whether it be indoors or outdoors, remember you’re on vacation and enjoy every minute of it.
