Three rainy day activities for all the family

Summer is a distant memory and the rain has begun with little sign of letting up until Spring. So what is there to do on a rainy day that doesn’t involve sitting in front of the television in silence until it is time for bed? Well, here are three ideas that will keep even the moodiest of teenagers and most hyperactive children (not to mention the adults) from getting cabin fever during these long wet months.

Sphero

The Sphero is a Bluetooth controlled robotic ball. It has an amazing 50 foot + range and can reach phenomenal speeds of up to 3 feet per second! It has a Internal guidance system that allows you to have complete control once you have mastered it.  Work together as a family to build an obstacle course out of household items, get the kids to design starting flags and take it in turns to maneuver the clever little ball around the course while timing it. The person with the fastest lap wins!

Appsing 

Appsing turns your smartphone into a portable karaoke machine. Take it in turns to bust out your favourite tunes and maybe even throw in a couple of duets. You and your family will be harmonizing like the Von Trapps in no time!
