Winter Break in Carroll County GA: Easy At-Home Ideas for Families
Heads up, friends! 👋
If you’ve got kiddos in Carroll County or Bremen City Schools, mark your calendar—Winter Break runs from Monday, Feb 16 through Friday, Feb 20 this year!
That means a full week of slower mornings, snack requests, and all the “I’m bored” declarations on repeat.
And let’s be honest… with these warmer-than-usual temps, winter break is feeling a whole lot more like spring break showed up early. I’m already seeing shorts, open windows, and kids asking if they can ride bikes before breakfast. 😅
Even if your kids aren’t in those systems, you probably know someone who’s home with a houseful next week… and might be looking for creative ways to pass the time (without losing their ever-loving minds).
So, I wanted to share a few of my favorite winter break ideas that don’t require fancy trips or Pinterest-level prep—just a little imagination and maybe a roll of paper towels:
Chopped: Kids’ Snack Edition
Pick three random pantry items and let the kids create their best (or weirdest) treat. Bonus points for a dramatic presentation!
📞 Interview-a-Relative Game
Give the kids some sweet or silly questions and have them call Grandma, Uncle Mike, or an older cousin. You never know what stories will come up.
❄️ Indoor Snowball Fight
No snow? No problem. Use cotton balls, crumpled paper, or soft toys. Add ski goggles or oven mitts for extra flair.
🔦 Hallway Campout
Flashlights, sleeping bags, and a good ghost story—or a snack picnic. Instant memories.
Breaks like these are a great excuse to hit pause, get a little silly, and maybe even discover a new family tradition—whether it feels like winter or spring outside. So if you’re planning ahead for the week—or just want to tuck away some boredom busters—feel free to steal these!
