Opposite Day

January 25th is Opposite Day! Frankie and the team here at JumpStart have thought of some fun things for you and your kids to do to celebrate. Try some of them out and then tell us about it!

1. Say everything in opposites. For example, when your family wakes up in the morning say, “Goodnight” to each other.
2. Wear your clothes backwards or inside out. This is sure to make your family and friends laugh.
3. Eat your family’s meals backwards, beginning with dinner food for breakfast. Or, start your meal with dessert—we bet your kids will love that!
4. Play this game: Describe something to your kids and have them guess what the opposite of that word is. For example, “This is the season that is very cold and sometimes brings snow.” (Answer: summer)
5. Play this game: Say an action and your children have to do the opposite. For example, when you say, “Stand up,” your kids sit down.

What if everything was opposite on Opposite Day?

Can your kids think of any more things to do on Opposite Day? Let us know how your family will be celebrating this fun day!
