Real cup stacking. Online tutorial. It's fun. Most of you won't have the equipment shown in the video on youtube below but you can be creative and try it with other plastic cups you have at home. If you have disposable ones, reuse them, tape them up to protect them and see how they work.

Target Games via video projection. A projector helps but if you have one, this is great for all students especially those in the primary grades (1-3).

If you have room in your house/apartment or even outside (if you are able to be outside) you can project this on a wall or a large sheet. Have your kids throw a object (i.e. rolled up socks for inside use) to try to hit the various objects moving on the screen. Here’s one to start you off.
