My tween daughter is on Christmas School Break for 19 days and needs activities to keep her free from boredom. Even though she got a lot of new gifts for Christmas and her birthday it seems that after a few days of playing them non-stop she needs other things to do. Even talking to her friends on the phone for hours has gotten old.

Here are some Christmas School Break Activities for Tweens:

• Movies – You probably thought of this one already, but going to the movies with your tween is a great way to break the ice and get her talking. You have the subject of the film that you just saw to get the ball rolling, so take save some time after for chatting.
• Play Dates – Get to know his friends and his friends parents too.
• Visit A Museum – There are so many different types of museums. Find something your tween enjoys and see if there’s a museum that has a section on that subject. Trains, weather, comic books? You’re likely to find a museum that has a display or something pertaining to that subject.
• The Library – It’s not just for books any more. But, even looking for books together can be fun. Check out the DVD and CD collection. See if they have any special displays or events going on. Research something your tween has always asked you about, but you haven’t had the time to learn about.
• Play Games – Get out the board games, some snacks and turn off the TV. You’ll be surprised how much fun you can have together.
• Visit Family – Is there family that lives a short distance away? Why not drive over and spend a couple of days there?
• Go To A Concert – It may hurt your ears, or make you want to hide under your seat, but didn’t your parents feel the same way about “your” music? Be the cool parent who lets their kids see the Jonas Brothers and sat two rows behind them.
