While New Jersey students have the November school break to look forward to, parents are left to figure out things to do to fill those days off. The first holiday falls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, followed by the NJEA Convention on Thursday, November 6, and Friday, November 7. Some school districts have gone a step further, giving students that entire week off!

Of course, don't forget about Thanksgiving at month's end, when kids have off both Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28; some even have a half-day or no school the Wednesday prior, too. Yikes!

With that in mind, we've pulled together this list of 25 things to do to keep your kids busy during November's New Jersey school holidays, so read on for our picks for the best staycation ideas this November.

If you are looking for more activities this season, take a peek at our New Jersey Fall Fun Guide. It might also be a good time to check off one or two items on our list of 100 things to do in New Jersey with kids before they grow up.
