- Build a fort out of the pillows from our living room furniture.
- Dig out some board games and try to remember the rules.
- Create a treasure hunt, hiding poetic clues in various locations around the house, leading to a treasure (usually cookies and cocoa).
- Watch old Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoons and repeat those familiar phrases like, “I taut I taw a puddy tat”.
- Light a fireplace fire and read aloud from your favorite book.
- Make up your own, totally inappropriate Mad Libs story and have your unsuspecting sibling help you complete it with gross nouns, verbs and adjectives.
