I finally got the screen time down to something that both mom and kids can work with, now that the weather has been improving (still way too much for my liking, but I have to be realistic). But today is so dreary out. What can I do to keep my young teen and preteen busy? My son keeps busy with diamond art for some of the day (I owe a huge thanks to the mother who posted about it before pesach!), but what else can he do? My daughter isn’t so interested in crafts...
All ideas welcome and appreciated!

Exercise or learn to dance videos are fun. Most evenings after my kids are in bed I'm doing about 30 minutes.

Excersize videos
We found 2 good ‘kosher’ options
Fitness blender - filter for men only - free
Eli Goodman excersize video - purchased
Biking.
Jumping rope.
Jogging.
My kids have been setting goals for themselves. Like bike in x amount of time or do x amount of jumping ropes. One of my sons bikes during each recess break. Another every day setting another jogging goal by house. It’s been amazing for them.
(My boys are pretty husky and they have lost a TON of weight during the quarantine)
