Mental Stimulating Activities To Do With Your Children During COVID-19

What was life like before the birth of technology, the internet, and COVID-19? How were people able to still interact without having a cellphone, luxury movie theaters, fancy bowling alleys, etc.? Families made due with tangible items around the house or yard to create memories (i.e. Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, or Pick -up Sticks).

Presently, we have found ourselves experiencing a time where we are having to revert to finding ways to create memories and stay active with our families while not leaving the comfort of our homes. What is there to do when the family room is our "getaway"?  Finding activities to stimulate your mind is an easy way to stay active, engaged, and focused with your family.  Check out the list of mentally stimulating activities below:
