I am supposed to be entertaining 7 boys ages 8-10 this week and the forecast looks like it's supposed to rain.

Any good ideas of activities we can do indoors???

Getting really nervous..

Thank you! I like bowling (excet that won't be more than an hour or two. I would love to do woodworking but so not creative. Are you there any kits I can get online?

Cooking/baking is great except I feel like I will have to be too involved. I would love things that they can do more on their own - just had a great idea - we can do a cooking/baking contest! Maybe I'll try that...

Thanks for these ideas so far. Would love more about wood working..

Lowes has some kid sets. Put kids woodworking in the search bar on their website

Amazon has wood stem building kits my boys that age like.

Checkers tournament

I don’t know how you feel about it but you can play OLYMPICS and give out gold silver and bronze medal out at the end of the week

You can do a carnival day - team up in groups if 2.
Each group needs to make a booth with a sign.
Find pennies in flour
Which one am I drinking - coke or Pepsi…
Pop the balloon.
Race with a tangerine on a spoon…
And then have the carnival.

Also can do a tounament.
