We have been through this first part of the year and have found ourselves already at spring break. If you're planning to spend a meaningful spring break, we have four fun-filled ideas to avoid the endless question:" What are we going to do today?”
Visit the museums.
Most museums, especially the smaller ones, offer day or even week long theme-specific camps. The camps are often a steal—nearly half-price of summer programmes. It's a great way to keep the young people in a structured routine while offering them a unique unit of study.
Get creative.
Each year our town hosts a chalk-drawing contest as part of a fundraiser. Why not use this as a jumping off point and organize a" Beautification Day"? It's easy enough to organize through social media channels; everyone brings their own chalk and, you've got yourself a group art class! Best part about it? Anyone can get involved. It brings the community together, and it costs nothing more than the price of chalk.
Act like a tourist.
Take this spring break and travel around the town like a tourist. Visit the historic farm, local art gallery, and public gardens with live music in your own town. Spend time in your own backyard, establish a positive connection to the place you live in and teach children all about appreciating where they live.
Take time out.
Spend this break dedicating time to others. Is there a food bank that needs reorganizing? A local park that needs weeding? Call your community board, or even local officials to find out an area of need that best suits your family. Spending time giving back to the community is a great way to build character and understand the importance of helping others.
