directions

Popsicle Stick Activity Bucket

  • Give everyone in your family 5 craft sticks
  • Ask each person to write a different activity on each of their sticks
  • Help dictate for younger children
  • The only rule is that the activities have to be specific. Example- instead of writing “Watch a movie”, you have say the name of the movie you want to watch..
  • After everyone is finished place all the sticks in a jar or bucket.
  • Whenever your family is looking for something to do simply pick an activity!
  • Everyone has to participate in whatever activity is picked from the bucket-no exceptions!
  • After an activity has been picked keep it out so it doesn’t get picked the next time.
