Holy TWOS Batman! This year it's all about that TWO ~ February 22, '22 falls on a TUESDAY and that makes it a perfect day to honor our second number, the number 2. We know we've had fun days, but this one is TOO much ;-) 

If, like me, you are also looking to make it a fun day at home, or in school (for you teachers), here are 22 ways to make an ordinary Tuesday into a SPECTACULAR TWOSDAY.

  1. Wear “tutus”
  2. Dress up as famous pairs
  3. Write up all the funny sayings about twos (two peas in a pod, double trouble, etc,) 
  4. Draw or write about what you’ll be doing in 22 years
  5. Grab your rackets and play some DOUBLES
  6. Read aloud the book Tuesday by David Weisner
  7. Chew on Double Bubble Gum 
  8. Shoot 2-Pointers in the driveway
  9. Go volunteer at a retirement home in pairs
  10. Eat a Twix
  11. Make a playlist of songs that include the number two 
  12. Take the stairs 2 at a time
  13. Do exercises in sets of 22 (jumping jacks, squats, pushups)
  14. Share “2 great things that happened today” at dinner or bedtime
  15. Create a scavenger hunt for items found in twos
  16. Send in (or do at-home) noisemakers and streamers for a dance party at 2:22PM
  17. Stock up on snacks like Little Debbies or Hostess Twinkies
  18. Have a Taco TWOsday with two kinds of tacos - one savory and one sweet
  19. Hide $2 bills around the house and send them out hunting
  20. Send in "pears" (get it ~ PAIRS) for lunch
  21. Give your kiddos new #2 Pencils
  22. Twin with your kiddo

The next opportunity for a fun day like this is 11 years away - 3/3/33 - so go ahead and have some fun.
