Bad weather activities: Play pirates
Average rating:
7. Go on a treasure hunt
This one takes a bit of time and effort on your part, but your kids will really appreciate it. The treasure needs to be hidden somewhere in the house, preferably where it cannot be found by accident.
Then you just have to write some clues and hide them around the house - they will lead from one to the other, until the final one shows you the location of the prize.
The age of your kids will depend on how difficult or easy your clues are and be careful of any clues near valuable or dangerous items.
If you're being really inventive, you could always make pretend pirate maps, get your kids to dress up and make it a realistic hunt for 'buried' treasure
