Fun Things to do at Home with Family

In this ongoing situation of self-quarantine, it’s very hard to pass time at home. Especially when it’s a compulsion, we all want to go out, isn’t it?
We have made it easy for you. Here are some fun things to do at home with your family.

1. Try a New Recipe

Browse on the internet to find new recipes you think your family might enjoy. Decide, and start cooking. Pick one which is easy and made through available ingredients.

2. Read a Book Together

Reading takes a backseat in today’s busy lifestyles. Reconnect with your family, ask them to read a book for an hour and after that sit together and share whatever they read by taking turns.
You can also listen to an audiobook like that.

3. Play a Board Game

Take out your board games which you used to play in childhood. Find one which is age-appropriate so everyone can participate. Ludo, Snakes and ladders, Cards, UNO, Business and so on.
The family that plays games together stays together.

4. Yoga
YouTube offers many free beginner yoga classes that walk you through poses and proper postures.

5. Create a Scrapbook

Remember those old family photos tucked away in shoeboxes in the closet?

Take them out and create a scrapbook that’s worthy of being displayed. You’ll get some good laughs sharing old memories and creating new ones.

6. Have a Self-Care Evening

You can paint your nails together, try out new facial products, and enjoy some aromatherapy.

7. Arrange an Indoor Picnic

Layout a blanket and eat dinner picnic-style in a new setting. Put on an old movie or your favourite Netflix drama and enjoy an evening eating in front of the TV.

9. Take an Online Class

Take an online course to hone or develop a new skill. You can find a wide variety of courses online, from language learning to learning how to write code or maybe how to cook!

10. Make a Family Video

Grab your smartphone and take turns filming with your spouse as you share the top reasons why you fell in love with one another or let your children use the phone to interview every family member to create a “documentary” of your family life together.

11. Call an Old Friend or Family Member

Forget texting or social media. Pick up the phone and reach out to a friend or family member you haven’t chatted with in a while.

12. Clean Out Your Closet

Gather your family and start going through the things you no longer use or wear. Take out to donate them to the Salvation Army or wrap them as holiday gift donations for families in need.

Staying at home doesn’t have to be solitary, lonely, or boring. With a little creative thinking and pre-planning, you’ll be longing to spend more time at home with the people you love.
