Create your own snow day game plan with 8 snow day activities for kids!

Snow days always throw me for a loop. What to do with the kids… make them a day to remember with these 8 indoor activities for kids to do on a snow day!

After having so, so many of snow days this year, I’m finding a few types of indoor activities that are my go-to snow day activities for kids on these kinds of days.

You’ll help to make them fun snow days that the kids will remember!

8 sure-fire snow day activities for kids!

Simple, easy to do, and quick indoor snow day activities for kids! Plus there’s always 32 snow theme activities for kids to do too.

1. Games, puzzles, coloring books

All very good. My kids are on a game kick right now, so snow days are a perfect time to really get some game action in.

2. Tape

Getting the kids moving…. and being stuck inside… usually makes it difficult, but I have found tape to be a lifesaver. Yep. Tape. I love tape activities. From the sticky spider web to mazes on the floor to just a simple line of tape, all work wonders. But my favorite – a bunch of lines of tape on the floor to see how far they can jump (the day will fly by!).

3. Couch cushions

Fort building and ‘island’ jumping or walking along all the cushions. Let them find a challenge for the day!

4. Scavenger hunts

Find anything and everything with a scavenger hunt. A simple ‘can you find…?’ as you think them up, or a more thought out one that has clues placed around the house for them to solve and find.

5. Bring the sandbox inside

With rice, flour, oatmeal, or whatever you have. Let them drive their cars and trucks in it in a small tub or tray. Or add measuring tools and cups to measure and pour or mix things up.

6. A Box

I couldn’t leave out a box. If you’re lucky to have a huge one, go dumpster diving for treasures! Or see what they can make from any kind of box you may have (even a cereal box can lead to something)!

7. Crafty stuff

Crafts are a great way to spend a snow day. Threading anything is a great calming ‘busy’ activity. Thread a necklace with straws, or a bird feeder with cereal, or use beads to make something special for someone.

8. Let them get creative!

Lay out a big sheet of paper and see what they come up with! Bonus for putting it in an odd spot – they’ll think its fun! Try the coffee table, the floor, or underneath the table even.
