Things To Do - March Break 2026

March Break Family Fun

 Make Every Day an Adventure

March Break is the perfect chance to spend time together as a family, try new things, and make memories that last long after the snow melts. Whether you want to embrace the crisp winter air or stay cozy indoors, we have ideas that will keep everyone entertained.

Even when it is cold outside, there are exciting ways to enjoy the outdoors. Layer up, grab warm drinks, and step outside for fresh air and fun! 

Winter Scavenger Hunt

Turn your yard or local trails into an adventure. Look for pinecones, animal tracks, frozen puddles, or other winter treasures. Turn it into a game with prizes or a points system to keep it exciting.

Sledding and Snow Fun

Find a nearby hill and race sleds or toboggans. Even cardboard boxes work for some extra fun. End the day with a warm drink and cozy blankets to recharge.

Ice Sculpting Challenge

Make ice blocks using balloons or containers, and let the kids create sculptures using safe tools. Adding food coloring makes their creations even more magical.

Nature Walks and Birdwatching

Bundle up and explore local trails. Bring binoculars to spot winter birds or watch for signs of wildlife. A simple walk can feel like a real adventure with the right attitude and curiosity.

Backyard Camping

Set up a tent with plenty of blankets and spend the evening storytelling under the winter sky. Roast marshmallows over a safe fire pit and enjoy the quiet beauty of the season.

When it gets too cold outside, there are still ways to make each day exciting, hands-on, and full of laughter.

DIY Craft Workshop

Set up a craft table with supplies for snow globes, painted rocks, or homemade bird feeders. Kids will love making something to display or give as gifts.

Family Movie Marathon

Pick a theme like adventure, animation, or classics. Build a blanket fort, prepare snacks, and settle in for a cozy movie day. Make it special with popcorn or hot chocolate.

Indoor Obstacle Course

Use cushions, furniture, and household items to create an obstacle course. It’s a fun way to burn energy and challenge each other safely inside.

Cooking and Baking Together

Try new recipes together, from pizza to cookies. Kids can get hands-on with decorating and taste-testing, making meals and treats part of the fun.

Game Day

Board games, card games, charades, or trivia challenges are all ways to spark friendly competition and laughter. Rotate games so everyone gets a chance to pick favorites.

Tips for Staying Warm and Mixing Activities

Dress in layers, including hats, gloves, and warm footwear.

Alternate between indoor and outdoor activities to keep energy up and avoid cabin fever. 

Take short breaks outside with warm drinks or snacks to make cold weather fun.

Let kids help plan the day so everyone has something to look forward to.

Make This March Break Unforgettable

With a mix of outdoor adventure and indoor fun, March Break is the perfect opportunity to create memories together. Explore, play, craft, and laugh - this is a week your family will remember for years.
