1. Living-room fort — Blankets + chairs + flashlight stories. Twenty quiet minutes.
2. Kitchen bakery — Mix a simple dough or decorate cookies you already have.
3. Walk and notice — Around the block; each person names three things they see.
4. Card-stack challenge — Build the tallest tower from a plain deck before it tips.
5. One-chapter couch — Pass a book around; each person reads a page out loud.
