Gardening is a great activity to do while at home, but still getting out of the house. Instead of kids being inside on their electronics get them outside doing a physical activity, while being out in the sunshine. Gardening is a great way to encourage kids to eat healthy; it gives them a sense of purpose and responsibility, while learning and bonding with family.

For those homeschooling, create a lesson that brings kids outside and teaches them the basics of growing their own flowers.
