Madlibs are short stories with missing words. Below is a story in both Spanish and English. Choose one to play with a partner-either a family member or a friend.
Look at what part of speech is asked for in each blank and ask your partner to supply a that type of word for each blank.
Keep track of their words and read the paragraph with the words your partner chose in each blank.
The story should turn out to be funny!
Number Line Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger Number Line Hunts are fun for those hiding numbers and those finding the numbers. This game can be played with a parent or a sibling or anyone else in your home.
Using sticky notes or small pieces of paper, cut out numbers from 1-20 or fractions from ½ to202, or decimals from 0.1 to 2.0...you choose.
Have a parent or sibling randomly hide numbers throughout your home.
Next, go on a hunt to find all the numbers.
Once you have found all the numbers, place them in a number line.

It’s a Street Maze
On a sunny day, it is nice to play a big outside board game, such as Street Maze.

Then jump 1 space in any direction (Forward, Backward, Left or Right) but NOT diagonal.
You can choose to jump in any direction the number of squares indicated by the square you're standing on.
Your aim is to reach the heart on the last jump of any given turn.
See how many different pathways to the heart center you can find.
