Indoor Activities to Try with Your Loved Ones

Reconnect with Your Friends and Loved Ones

Talking about being an introvert or an extrovert? You don’t need to choose between these two. If you want to keep yourself busy, try taking some time to talk to people online. Rekindle your relationship with your friends and loved ones whom you stopped having conversations with even before the quarantine started. This is the moment to make friends and spread love to everyone. 

 

Karaoke at Home

As Filipinos are known for their great talent in singing and their solid love for music, spend your time with your family through a karaoke session at home. Set it up in your living room, but don’t forget to leave some spaces between. If entertaining ourselves for a few hours is the problem, input all your favorite songs and voila, this will definitely take a lot of your hours.

Sew Face Masks

Today, face masks are one of the basic needs of people, especially for frontliners. If you are the type of person who can’t just stand doing nothing to help, then this can be your way. You don’t need to worry if you have no idea on how to make one as there are a lot of online tutorials that you can watch as your guide. Ask help from your friends and family if they’re nearby so you can produce more, but never forget the physical distancing rule. The best part here is you get to create remarkable memories while helping. When done, you can hand it to people at an affordable price, but if you can, it’s always better to hand it for free at times like this.

 

Try and Create New Recipes

It’s your moment to be resourceful based on what you got there in your food storage area!

To add spice, do it with the help of the person dear to you as food is always best when made with love.

Complete a Jigsaw Puzzle

Get some rest staring at the screen of your gadgets. It’s definitely unhealthy for your eyes or even to your mind. Instead of spending time on video games and such, do an offline activity or indoor games like board games or solving a jigsaw puzzle. Just a tip, the bigger the puzzle with smaller pieces, the more challenging and interesting it can be. Ask the help of the people you’re with to give it a thrill.

Set Up a Movie Night

Search for the movie or series that everyone in your family is interested in. Next, check your stock of food and prepare snacks for everyone out of what you have there so you don’t need to go out. Remember that there is no place like home and no feeling is better than being with the people you love, but practice physical distancing even at your own house.

Maybe it’s time to breathe freely and let go of the things you don’t use anymore. Organize your stuff or if you’re allowed to, do it all around your house. Through this, you get to kill some hours while doing something significant. Swear, after this, you’ll feel like you’re in a different house.

Read Books

With a lot of negativity surrounding us now, don’t lose the battle of staying sane. Reading books that can inspire and help you be a better person is just one of the things you can do to fight it.

Take Some Time with Your Pet

Life is never boring when you have someone to take care of, especially if it’s a pet.

Some only need to be fed, but get ready to face the real life of being a fur parent when you have a needy and clingy one. They’re surely glad right now because of you being at home.

Volunteer from Home

It is at this moment when even the littlest and simplest things are appreciated. Make sense of every minute of your life while following the rules of staying indoors by volunteering from your home.
