March is a bit like November—except that the kids are home from school for a week. But that’s no excuse to wish this soggy month away. Make the most of it with these tips on how to have fun while you’re dreaming of warmer weather. Remember, spring will be here soon (read and repeat often).
DO
Plan an Oscar Party, a St. Patrick’s Day Party or a Dinner Party
Why? Because parties are fun, they break up the month and our party plans make it so much easier.
GO
To Potted Potter at the NAC
Why? Because this parody of our favourite wizarding series condenses all seven books—and one Quidditch game—into 70 minutes of hilarity that all fans will love.
GET
Rain boots for the kids and some for you, too
Why? Because if you’re wearing boots you can jump in puddles. That’s fun.
PLAY
One of these Six Classic Party Games for Kids
Why? Because these six games don’t require screens or special equipment. They’re good old-fashioned ways to have fun.
READ
Boredom Busters, a book of over 50 awesome activities for children aged seven years and up, by our friend Caroline Fernandez
Why? We think the title of the book speaks for itself.
SURF
evolvefunctionalfitness.com
Why? Because bathing suit season is around the corner. This awesome new fitness site is offering free trial memberships and all you need is a 9 foot space. No equipment required. Try it with a friend, just for fun.
APP IT
hubapp.com
Why? Because everything’s easier when you’re organized. Available for iOS and Android, Hub allows everyone in the family to share calendars, lists, tasks and sporting event info. Everyone will know what’s going on and where to be. Then you will have more time to have fun.
MAKE
This spring pasta recipe
Why? We’re tired of the slow cooker and eating brightly coloured veggies is well, more fun than eating brown stuff.
GREEN IT
Wear the team colours on March 17 and go green for St. Patrick’s Day. Make something festive.
Why? Because even if you’re not Irish, it’s still fun to celebrate the way they do.
HELP
Spin4Kids
Why? Because this great fitness-focused event will benefit initiatives that help kids develop healthy habits. You can join a team or support the cyclists by donating online until the end of March.
