7 Ways to Celebrate Memorial Day With Kids and Family at Home

By Jacquie Cadorette, Audacy

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and while many of us are stuck at home and unable to visit our favorite beaches and vacation spots, there are still ways to keep everyone entertained on your days off.

If you've got kids at home, it's likely the options for keeping everyone busy have been exhausted. Luckily, there are still some ways to celebrate the holiday from the comfort of your property, according to AJC.

Here are the best ways to celebrate Memorial Day from home:

Make chalk art

There's nothing like some sidewalk chalk to brighten your day - and everyone else's when they walk by. Grab your chalk and get to drawing!

Donate flowers

Memorial Day Flowers is an organization that lets you donate flowers to a national cemetery, contact-free. Check it out.

Decorate your space

Maybe you can't have the backyard barbecue of your dreams, but you can still decorate for the occasion. Gather your streamers and string lights, and start decorating.

Watch the National Memorial Day Concert

While people won't be gathering at the U.S. Capitol this year, you can still stream this year's unique events on PBS at 8 pm ET on Sunday.

Post on social media

There's nothing like social media to fill your downtime. Take to the 'gram with your best tribute moment.

Listen to veterans' stories

Military Voices Initiative through StoryCorps lets you learn about being in service from the veterans themselves.

Fly a flag

Perhaps one of the most simple things you can do is grab your flag and fly it high for everyone to see.
