KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Many students are feeling the freedom of spring break this week, while others have it marked on their calendars in anticipation of time off from homework, time off from the classroom routine.

So, we thought we’d help our FOX 4 readers and viewers find some fun, family things to do during the week off. Click on the links below for the ideas, compiled by kcmetromoms.com and Examiner.com.

Good luck, enjoy the temperatures and have fun during spring break!
