1. Indoor treasure hunt: Keep your kids' day lively by creating a treasure hunt right in your house! Make a set of clues for each player, leading them to each item and eventually, the "treasure"–which could be anything from a small new toy to candy or even a couple singles, if you're feeling generous.

4. Hide and seek: This classic game is a favorite for a reason. It's simple, requires no extra tools, and one the whole family can enjoy.
5. Family dance party: Burn some energy by turning your living room into your very own dance floor. Just put on some of you and your kid's favorite upbeat tunes and jam out!
