Happy Hip Day! I don't want to talk about it.

Because I have beaten a dead horse about the Hip, so we'll move on

You could do things like "team-building" games -- like the one where you have two long 2x4s and four lengths of rope to cross a space much wider than the 2x4s are long. Kind of like The Floor Is Lava, but more so. The solution is to set the 2x4s parallel to each other, loop one piece of rope under the front of the board and one piece of rope under the back of the board, then the kids put one foot on one board and the other on the other -- you coordinate lifting the board and scooting it forward while lifting your feet, and then you do it with the other board/feet. Kooky snowshoeing, really!

Have them do the human knot game. They either figure out how to get out of it, or they stay tied together for hours giving you a break.

Science experiment: mixing hot milk and vinegar to isolate the casein. It ends up rubbery-like. It's kinda cool. Maybe?

Isn't that how you make cottage cheese?

[gnail_19]

I have no idea about cottage cheese. I just remember doing the experiment and having this yellow rubbery blob to play with.

Looked it up. Yup, it's basically cottage cheese. If you're not a fan now, this may turn you off completely :P

Happy Hip Day!

If we ever have a sunny day again, how about a solar oven? You can make s'mores, or grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch or something.
