David, I assume you are referring to the Championship Tournament in December. The regional tournaments are being held now. Since the Championship Tournament is spread out over two days, there will be time for teams to do things between events. The activities referred to are classes, demonstrations, and other events designed to both entertain and educate FLL team members during the times they're not competing. For example, some of my colleagues are presenting an introductory computer science activity. The activities are open to team members only. You'll be able to register team members for the activities beginning on the 19th. There are also local community activities that anyone can attend, and these will eventually be listed under the Activities for Teams and Family Members tab. For example, the City of Harrisonburg holiday parade takes place Friday night, Dec 7th.
