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.

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.
