Winters can become dull and boring if the weather gets too harsh to step outside. Easy winter activities like building a snowman or making snow angels on the ground would not be possible during these times. But that does not mean your family should get bummed out indoors waiting for the weather to clear. Here are four fun activities that you can do inside during the peak of the winter season.

Play board games
If the weather forecast is not in your favor, then the most fun activity to do indoors is playing board and card games. There is no better bonding activity than a game of monopoly, checkers, clue, candyland, uno, or even scrabble. Just picture yourself with the family all snuggled next to the mantle, soaking in the warmth of the birchwood and sipping hot cocoa with marshmallows. Roll the dice and see who you can buy or sell property from in the next round of monopoly. Or reverse and skip the next player’s turn in a friendly bout of uno. We guarantee time will simply fly!

Movie binge
Tired of playing board games and can’t think of other easy winter activities to explore? Well, nothing beats boredom better than a family-friendly movie binge featuring all your favorites. You can plan a fun weekend of re-watching classics and enjoying your favorites (everyone gets to pick one and all must watch). Your binge will be even more lively with active participation when you discuss and ponder over the plots, argue who your favorite casting choice was, and even take a poll at the end to see which movie wins the binge marathon.

Build a fort
What can you do with a bunch of old sheets and some unused blinky lights? Build an impressive fort if you ask us! Take your cozy indoor family slumber party to the next level to see who can build the best fort in the house. The rules are simple, find whatever you can to create an artistic rendition of those fancy tents they keep showing on teleshopping ads. Beat the weather blues and plan this fun indoor easy winter activity for all to enjoy.

Have a jam session
Discover the next Beethoven or even Mariah Carey of the house with this fun family singing activity. Take turns to perform your favorites and watch your family members’ hearts simply melt with joy. If you have musical instruments, why not create something new spontaneously. You can even make this a tradition to follow on Christmas alongside other easy winter activities and keep jamming on other days as well.
