5. Game On
For those days when leaving the house (or your pajamas) seems impossible but you still have to keep the kids busy, make it a game day. Haul out a stack of board games or puzzles and start playing. Even sulky kids can't resist a cutthroat game of UNO. Board games, not bored games, at your house.
