Being socially distant doesn’t mean you cannot have family time, as, we all know there are some precautionary governmental directives because of the COVID-19 situation, which directs us to stay home as much as we can and avoid social conventions. Things are different now, we cannot have the fun hour with our family outside at the nearest parks and restaurants, and there are no picnics and no camping. People around the world are missing the quality time they used to have with their families.
Well, celebrations are not stopped, they have become digitalized and technology is playing a prominent role here. But, parents are concerned about their kids when they see the children being bored of staying home all day. There are no as such activities, but parents are just looking for ways to make things more functional for their kids.
Your routines are already changed as the schools, businesses, and offices are already closed; there is a powerful effect of this all to spend time together. If you are seeking the activities that vanish the boredom, here are some ideas that keep all the family members active at home together.
Dance Party
Replace the white lights with some multi-colored bulbs and have the disco vibes. Set the floor and get ready to have a dance party with all the family members. Play the favorite tunes, give chance to each member to perform, and teach each other new moves. Workout till your sweat and have fun all night.
Camping at Backyard
You may have planned the camping on vacations, and that is already canceled due to corona. But now you have a chance to have backyard camping. Plan a trip to the yard, check the suitable forecast, and get a tent. It is the best time to make your children learn how to pitch a tent if they don’t know. If your kids already know-how, then let them do it. Have a bonfire, cook the food outside and play games.
Fitness Challenges
Another way to have fun with all the family members is fitness challenges. Set fitness goals and challenge each other such as for weightlifting, pushups, and sit-ups. Set 30 minutes of exercise each day and try to make it fun. At the end of the week, give prizes and have a celebration together.
Musical Chores
