Rainy Day Fun
Fun Things To Do On a Rainy Day...
It's raining outside, and the ball game has been cancelled. Not sure what to do with the kids? Try one of these ideas:
Paint a picture of a rainbow.
# True or False: A rainbow has 6 colors.
If you said false, you are correct! A rainbow is made up of a whole continuum of colors.
Have an indoor picnic.
Throw a blanket on the floor and break out the sandwiches and cheese.
Make a bird feeder.
# Materials needed: plastic milk jug, yarn, scissors, birdseed
Get an empty milk jug and cut it all the way around, about 2-3 inches from the bottom.
Discard the top piece in a recycling bin.
Take the bottom piece and punch holes in each of the 4 sides with the scissors.
Cut 4 long strands of yarn--at least 3 feet long.
Tie and knot one strand through each hole.
Knot all 4 strands together about 1 foot from the top.
Tie the top of the strands to a tree limb to hang the feeder from a tree.
Fill with birdseed.
Jump over mud puddles.
Play a rainfall trivia game.
See who can guess the average number of inches of precipitation that Seattle gets for each month of the year. Use our Averages & Records to find the answers.
Continue playing with other cities in the U.S.
Act out a play.
Do a rain dance.
Make a list of all the things that make you smile, laugh, and cry.
# Things that make me smile: Sunshine and rain at the same time; Pizza for breakfast; Waking up on a Friday.
# Things that make me laugh: Tickling my feet; The dog licking my face.
# Things that make me cry: Sad movies, like Old Yeller; Dropping a bowling ball on my foot.
Compare lists with other family members.
Make a fort out of the kitchen table.
# Cover the table with a sheet and get out the flashlights.
