Spring break is finally here! However, if you're not planning on a tropical getaway or a skiing trip up the Swiss Alps, don't worry—we've got you covered. Just because you don't have to fly across the country or hit the mountains doesn't mean you can't have an adventure.
Jumbo blocks from Biggo Blocks can transform your living room, your yard, or even your driveway into the ultimate playground. It just takes a bit of creativity (and maybe some snacks), and you've got yourself an unforgettably awesome week of playtime!
Here are some easy, screen-free, and fun Biggo Block staycation activities the entire family can participate in without needing a passport.
1. Build the Tallest Tower Challenge
A classic for a reason! Set the timer and have your kids (or you!) create the tallest tower possible before it falls over. Want to make it even better? Introduce rules like only using one hand or building without talking. Trust us, the laughter will be non-stop.
2. Backyard Block Hunt
Easter egg hunt, but supersize it! Scatter extra large building blocks in your yard, create a list of what colors to search for, and the adventure is on! This activity uses up a lot of that excess spring break energy that your kids will need to expend.
3. Sort & Stack
Try this one with younger kids. Spread out jumbo building blocks and have them sort them out in color, size, or shape. It may be easy, but it’s quietly teaching them about math, about thinking logically, and about fine motor skills. Sneaky learning through play!
4. Animal Build-Off
Pick your favorite animal—a duck, a cat, or even a dinosaur—and see if you can build it out of jumbo blocks. Let the kids unleash their imaginations! Want to make things more social? Have each member of the family build an animal and then bring them out like a tour at the zoo.
5. Outdoor Obstacle Course Mayhem
Use jumbo blocks as tunnels that kids can crawl through, as obstacles to jump over, or as walls for zig-zagging about. Next, let the kids (and the big kids, too!) race through it. See who finished with the fastest time or who has the craziest run!
6. Block Characters
What's cooler than building with jumbo blocks? Adding personality to those builds! Try making your favorite book or cartoon character using Biggo Blocks. Add accessories or even faces with paper, stickers, or markers. This activity is great for promoting storytelling and imaginative play.
7. Biggo Bowling
Arrange some extra large building blocks as bowling pins, take out a soft ball, and let the games begin. Compete for the highest score or just have fun with the mayhem.
8. Homemade Fort or Playhouse
Transform your Biggo Blocks into a reading nook or mini castle. Line the interior with pillows and blankets for the ultimate spring break retreat. Don’t be surprised if the kids spend the whole afternoon in their new fort (snacks are a bonus too).
9. Build A Rainbow Wall
Challenge the children to construct a block wall out of the colors of the rainbow. This is an excellent way of introducing patterns and color theory without making it feel like a lesson. It also creates some great photo opportunities, too!
10. Memory Match-Up Game
Put extra large building blocks of different colors in sequence, have your kids look at it for a few seconds and have them turn their backs while you rearrange the sequence. Challenge them to rebuild it from memory. This is an easy but engaging activity that’s fun and educational too.
