How to Celebrate Memorial Day at Home with Kids

You were planning a fun-in-the-sun, social-distancing type of Memorial Day, but the forecast calls for rain beginning at noon. Need a new plan? Try these ideas:
 
Watch the PBS Video of the Arlington National Cemetery.  Explore the history, mission, and daily operations of this final resting place for 40,000 Americans.

 
Have a family feast. Too wet outside for firing up the grill? Try this delicious recipe for Mom's Oven-BBQ Ribs by Taste of Home.
Craft patriotic desserts: Strawberry Shortcake, flag cookie & berries fruit pizza, patriotic gelatin bars...
 
Play a family game for prizes: BINGO, Connect Four, Memory / matching, charades...
 
Catch up on your movie-watching: Scoob, Dora and the Lost City of GOld, Addams Family, Spies in Disguise, SONIC the Hedgehog
 
Listen to patriotic music, and then turn up the volume on some popular dance favorites. Play freeze dance, make a Soul Train line, and just get jiggy with it.
 
Hang a flag, and learn the proper care and keeping of one.
