Indoor Activities

Walk (hold off on the shopping) in a mall.
Use the stairs every chance you get.
Dance to holiday (or not) tunes.
Play Musical Chairs. Follow the usual rules, except when a chair is taken away, players have to sit on someone elses lap. This way, no one loses and everyone laughs a lot.
Play Santa Says. Play like Simon Says.
Play Rudolph Dash. Cut red noses out of construction paper and attach one to each players nose with double stick tape. Divide players into teams. Relay race to the finish line. If the nose falls off, the racer must return to the starting line to put it on again.

Outdoor Activities

Ice skate at the Holiday on Ice skating rink at The Green between Tryon and College streets.
Walk through Uptown Charlotte to see the holiday decorations.
Walk to Polk Park at The Square to see colorful lights flash to holiday music.
Locate a nearby park or greenway and look for signs of winter.
Play Candy Cane Relay. Set a course - around the outside of home, around the block, or somewhere in the neighborhood. Each team member must complete the course holding a candy cane which is passed to the next team member who then runs the course. The first team to get all players across the finish line without dropping (or nibbling) the candy cane wins.
