The Grace in the Race Staycation Survival Kit

You are here: Home / Uncategorized / The Grace in the Race Staycation Survival Kit

Grace in the Race has compiled a list of ideas for you, for your kids and for your whole family to partake in during your next staycation. We are currently in the middle of a ‘staycation’ due to COVID-19. Let us know what you think and if you have other ideas, please add them to the comments below.

For the family:

  • Get out the old photo albums and reminisce (do you have your baby album to show the kids, mom?)
  • Have a read-a-thon!
  • Read a book aloud and then watch the movie (Holes by Louis Sachar is a great start)
  • Watch all the Marvel movies in chronological order
  • Make s’mores in the fireplace
  • Host a Top Chef-style cooking contest
  • As a family, attempt a 10-day plank challenge, building up to holding a 2:45 plank

For the kids:

  • Pop a tent in the living room for some indoor camping
  • Make shower melts
  • Stay in your PJs all day!
  • Break out the arts & crafts
  • Write a letter to grandparents or other friends & relatives
  • See if there’s anything you can get ahead of: boy scout requirements, homework, school projects, etc.
  • Make your own movies on a favorite app like iMovie
  • Learn a new skill like Origami
  • Create your own board game and play it as a family

For the mom:

  • Organize/delete photos on your phone
  • Sort old papers in your file cabinet. Have the kids help shred!
  • Organize your email inbox! Take 5-15 minutes a day to sort, delete & archive
  • 20 Item Purge: Go through your house and throw out/donate 20 things
  • Use one of those shower melts the kids made!
  • Binge season 1 of Dead to Me on Netflix. What are your favorites? Add them in the comments below.
  • Read a book
  • Spend time with your headphones on!
  • Download a meditation app. Rachel likes Insight Timer
