If you're a sports-minded family, suit up and head for your local indoor pool or tennis court. Call ahead to check. Trek down to your community indoor ice or roller rink, or bowling alley. Again call ahead to check. Weather permitting, put the bikes on the van and go to the park for a family fun-fit bike ride.
Cost is free.
If you prefer to stay at home and catch up on relaxation, the kids can rent their favorite videos. Break out the board games, i.e., Scrabble, Chutes and Ladders, Monopoly or checkers. Invite classmates or friends over for a play date. Spring break is also a great time to take the kids to visit grandparents or seldom seen relatives. Get your family involved in volunteering by working at a soup kitchen or elderly care home, or cleaning up the local park.
