1. No Hands Meal
Serve a meal of your choice…. with
no silverware! Choose silly dance moves and call
“HOPPERS” to collect your meal from the kitchen:
“H-H-HOP! P-P-PER! H-O-P, P-E-R, HOPPERS!”
2. Create Your Turtle Shell
Go on a scavenger hunt around your home to look for objects and
supplies to construct your TPT turtle shell or camper cabin.
Channel your inner artist and let the creativity flow!
3. Camp Dance Marathon
Get moving! Dance to some of your
favorite camp dances.
Follow us on Spotify or find these songs on YouTube!
4. Random Act of Kindness
Do something to brighten someone’s day: make someone a piece of
art, call a friend or family member, help someone with something.
Make someone smile!
5. Spark Boxes
Have each member of the family
create their own “spark box,” or mailbox. Write warm and
fuzzy notes for each other using supplies from your home!
6. Adventures of the Flat Turtle
Print out a flat turtle and take it on your adventures at your home. Decorate
however you choose! Have the turtle(s) join your family for any
of the listed activities or whatever else you think of!
7. Family Campfire
Create a campfire space: real,
pretend, virtual, whatever you choose! Gather around the
“campfire” as a family and sing songs, do skits, read a
story together, and more! Download the TPT song book here!
8. Family Game Night
Break out your favorite board games! Make bets with your family
on what happens if they lose. Game on!
9. Cabin Clean Up
Have a competition of who can clean the best each day. Pick a
“trophy” and let the games begin!
10. Host a Cabin Chat
Cabin chat is a time to reflect
about the day, learn about others and share different experiences
with your friends and family. Turn down the lights, get
comfortable, have some soft music playing in the background and
start talking with one another. Download the Cabin Chat rules and questions here!
