If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful.

We're in quarantine over Yom Tov and instead of enjoying Chol Hamoed, my 9 yo DS is sitting and crying from boredom.

Please help me with exciting Chol Hamoed ideas as well as ideas for how to make Simchas Torah fun at home. I have teen boys as well.

TIA.

Do they speak yiddish? There will be an Interen Play live streaming today.

We did diamond painting. Plaster mold painting. Acrylic painting on canvases. Find a beginner's YouTube video to follow. We started family Succos decoration projects for next year.

Watched videos. Streamed concerts.

You can order supplies and kits from the Plaster Spot, Scribbles, Amazon. Utilize Uber to pickup and deliver local supplies.

Make slime from ingredients available at the supermarket. Play dough.

Thanks for all the ideas. We had a fabulous time during Chol Hamoed Pesach but the key difference is that I'm ill with Covid-19 right now so it needs to be something they can do without my input. And the kids are really sad about it.

Just find the YouTube how-to videos for them. They can follow along and won't need your input. Refuah Shelaima!!

There are some virtual chol hamoed trips. I think a zoo, and chazaq has something for a few hrs every day (magician, singers..)

Do you have a yard? Maybe they can do a soccer tournament or something of the sort? Crafts? Cooking competition? ( can you handle the mess) chess tournament? Computer games?

For simchas torah... family hakafos? Lots of treats?

Good luck to you. I hope you all have a wonderful yom tov, and if anyone is sick - refuah shelaima!
