The car is packed up to the roof, the route – marked on the map, backpacks are ready and suddenly... rain, downpour! What’s more, it seems that the bad weather is not going to end soon. Can a rainy day with kids turn out to be fun? We say – you will work your socks off, but it’s definitely worth it.

A rainy day with kids – let’s hack it! With the early spring, our efforts, as parents, are doubled – all this time at home, oh my! When the outside world is really not welcoming and even at home your children are wrapped up in a thick jumper and long cotton socks, the only thing that may cheer everybody up is imagination. Play with it, and you won't even notice how enjoyably this rainy day will pass!

Come to your feet, it’s showtime! Home theatre for a rainy day with kids.

“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” – stated Robin Williams. A rainy day with kids is a perfect time to allow yourself for a little magic… How about creating a real stage at your home, where you and your children could perform? Playing „family theatre” not only teaches kids how to express and interpret emotions, but also helps them to dare to… dare, by which we mean getting courage and charisma, so vital for public speaking. Even if your kids are already keen on acting, they will be delighted to have a real audience and a chance to shine!

Your kid is too shy to even spit out a word or tw on stage? Be a good example and perform for them – a monodrama, a fairy tale at least! If you are looking for something genuine, check our article Taste the world on foot.

Rainy day activities with kids can be a quality family time, as worthy as any other outdoor adventure – just take your time to prepare or… improvise!

Rainy day family games – a little something for everyone!

Board games? Booring… But wait – really? Remember that the times when we had to choose between chess and Monopoly are long gone. Nowadays, the market of offline kids entertainment has a lot to offer – from fantastic RPG narratives to the short logic games and puzzles. You can literally spend a day or two exploring the magical realms of imaginary lands or working on a mysterious riddle. Save it for a rainy day – kids will be delighted!

If you do not own a board game that would do, create one! Pick a crayon or two and doodle along with your kids – see what will come of it! Then cut the drawing into pieces and voilà – there is a jigsaw puzzle! Will your kids be able to put it back together? We are not sure... but it will definitely take a while. ;)
