  • 1.  Indoor Nature Bingo Challenge

    Posted 02-02-2023 05:23 PM


    We're challenging you to prioritize connecting with your family, friends, and community this month. Check out the bingo card we created alongside Alliance for a Healthier Generation! Drop a note in the discussion thread with each square you finish and how you completed it. Here are some ideas to get you started:

    • Engineer It: Use found and recycled materials and work with your family to create a Rube Goldberg machine 
    • Puzzling Pictures: Draw a picture and cut it into puzzle pieces for a family member or friend to solve
    • Family Game Night: Share healthy snacks and healthy competition with family-fun games

    We are extremely fortunate to be stationed somewhere that stays relatively warm year-round. Since it isn't the holiday season anymore, we decided to look for "twinkling" trails that had blooming flowers instead of lights! Look at this beautiful poppy!

    No photo BUT we did family game night this past weekend with Charades! I found the Chuckle and Roar brand on sale at Target during the holidays. It's perfect for different ages and has photos instead of words for younger players. Though interpretation of those photos is always an entertaining bonus.

    We're well past the bingo stage over here, but I have my eyes open for new spring blooms every time I walk. It's so exciting to find the new "twinkles" as they emerge! Love your seasonal spin on the activity!
