Move, Play, Eat!
January 4, 2021 – February 28, 2021
For many households, the COVID-19 pandemic has meant an increased amount of time at home and an endless list of cancelled events and activities. To start out 2021 on the right foot, we are encouraging you to set aside time each week to Move, Play, and Eat with your household using our activity, game, and recipe suggestions!
Each week we will share a new idea for an activity, game, and recipe. These will be posted on our Move, Play, Eat webpage and shared on social media. On Saturday, January 9th and Saturday, February 6th we will have take home activity bags, a scavenger hunt, and live activities.
