    Play and movement 

    Published 2026-01-06

    When winter break approaches, many parents wonder how to fill the days with activities that are fun, simple and relaxing for the whole family. Luckily, there are plenty of things to do during winter break when outdoor play, at-home activities and a little adventure are mixed together. Even small ideas can turn into memorable moments when you do them together.

    Day 1 – Outdoor Play and a Mini Treasure Hunt

    Start the break with fresh air and a simple treasure hunt.

    Tips:

    • hide clues in the yard, park or along a nearby trail
    • mark the path with sticks or footprints
    • the “treasure” doesn’t need to be an object – it can be a fun activity you do together

    A perfect, energetic start to the week.

    Day 2 – At-Home Fun With Easy, Active Games

    A day at home can be surprisingly lively with just a few simple games.

    Fast or Slow
    You say an action, and the kids do it either super fast or very slow. The changing pace makes it extra fun.

    “Go to where…” game
    Give instructions like:

    “Go to where you see a round shape.”
    “Go to where something is blue.”
    Kids move around and practice observing while they play.

    Sound Bingo
    Record a few sounds on your phone – rustling, knocking, clapping – and let the kids guess which sound is playing. Great for all ages.

    Day 3 – A Day at Leo’s Adventure Park: Play, Energy and Big Smiles

    When you’re in the mood for more movement and excitement, Leo’s Adventure Park is the perfect destination.

    Kids can:

    • climb through the climbing labyrinth
    • jump into the ball pit
    • try the slides, including the volcano slide
    • bounce on trampolines

    The lively atmosphere brings joy to kids and adults alike. Snacks and meals are easily handled at Leo’s Bistro.Book a playtime in advance to jump straight into the fun.

    Day 4 – Cooking Together and Fun Taste Experiments

    Cooking with kids is playful and full of curiosity.

    Try:

    • fruit skewers
    • mini pizzas made with tortilla bases
    • a small “tasting station” where kids mix their own yogurt toppings

    Simple, tasty and a great way to connect.

    Day 5 – Family Outing and Your Own Mini Olympics

    Pack water and a small snack and head to the park or forest. Then it’s time for the family’s own mini Olympics.

    Possible events:

    • long jump
    • who finds the most pinecones
    • a quick lap around a tree
    • funniest movement contest

    The winner can choose the evening activity.

    Day 6 – Art Day and a Mini Home Studio Show

    A calm, creative day brings balance to the week.

    Ideas:

    • finger painting on a large sheet of paper
    • a small family show in your “home studio”
    • building with cardboard boxes or LEGO

    A relaxed day where imagination takes the lead.

    Day 7 – Cozy Day and Movie Time

    The last day of the break can be slow and comforting.
    A pajama morning, board games, reading together or a family movie make for a warm and gentle ending to the week.

    It’s also a nice moment to talk about the week’s highlights and what you’d like to do next time.

    Winter Break Feels Great With the Right Rhythm
    When outdoor moments, home activities and a bit of adventure are combined, the whole family stays happy and energized. The small ideas often become the biggest memories.
