Pro tip: Get everyone to agree to follow whoever wins #1 or #2 ahead of time without fussing.

#1 - Flip A Coin.

#2 - Rock, Paper, Scissors

#3 - Share.  Pete the Cat says sharing is cool!

#4 - Take Turns. 

#5 - Take a Deep Breath and Count to 10.  A great tool to use when you feel yourself starting to lose control of your feelings.

#6 - Walk Away. Is someone getting on your nerves? Leave the room.

#7 - Ignore. You don't have to engage with someone annoying.

#1 - Cooking. Get out that pumpkin spice cookie mix from the back of your newly organized pantry.

#2 - Read a Book. Read a chapter book aloud as a family or have everyone read together quietly. We're reading the first Harry Potter and then plan to watch the movie after we finish the book.

#3 - Do a Puzzle.  1000 piece Beatles puzzle from Pop-pop is our favorite.

#4 - Draw a Picture.  Get out those crayons and markers and get creative.  Maybe some sidewalk chalk outside.

#5 - Have a Dance Party.  Ask Alexa to play some classic 90s. Kidzbop Kidz is a fan favorite.

#6 - Play a Game.  Need to kill a few hours? Monopoly is the best choice.  So many card games too- war, solitaire, black jack, go fish, rummy, 7 card stud.

#7 - Play Hide and Seek In The House.  Never telling my kids my super secret hiding spot.  (In the shower with the curtain drawn hahaha)

#8 - Make Slime.  Make your own or play with glittery mermaid slime.

#9 - Meditation.  Great way to relax when you need a break throughout the day or to wind down before bed.

#10 - Work Out With Household Items.  Get out those cans and sacks of rice.

#11 - Play Dress Up. Get out your Halloween costumes!  What are you doing to be for this coming Halloween?

#12 - Legos. Have a lego contest: biggest tower, strongest bridge, most creative.

#13 - Play With Paper. Make a paper football, a fortune teller or a paper airplane.
