Winter break is nearly upon us. While a hiatus from waking up groggy kids and packing school lunches is welcome, unscheduled kids, rainy weather, early darkness and everyone cooped up inside can be a challenge. But never fear! We’ve gathered a few dozen family-focused activities to get you and your crew out of the house — and off the screens. One of our recent favorites could have you strapping on helmets and knee pads to visit Skate Like a Girl. Plus, take the kids for a romp on the inviting playground of the week.
