Like most people, I’m quarantining at home and I get bored pretty easily. So, I thought of some ideas for you guys to do when you’re at home. Some of these, you have to do with a parent, but others you can do by yourself.
01. Start a Craft:
When you’re quarantined, you have all the time in the world to start a craft(and finish it😀). I recently finished a sewing project and now I’m making a pom-pom garland. These crafts are fun and you can do most of them when your parent is busy.
02. Take a Walk or Bike:
Just because you have to be at least 6 feet away from someone, that doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors. Go outside and get some fresh air, but don’t be too close to anyone. A breath of fresh air feels so good after being cooped up in your house
03. Play Some Games:
After your parents are done working, play a game with them. They will be happy (it’s a break after their stressful and crazy day) and you will be too (you can spend time with them, laughing and having fun).
04. Do Some Work:
This is an odd suggestion, but you can’t just sit around all day doing nothing. Working puts your brain to use and you are still developing your skills. At home, I usually do math, reading/writing, and science. This is a great time to practice/ learn something new like a new language or a skill. I’m learning geography, the periodic table, and some new recipes.
05. Chat or video call with your friends and family:
Your friends and family are in the same situation as you are. When you talk to them, they’ll feel happy and you might learn more. You can text them or video chat them. I talk with my family and some of my best friends regularly.
I also like having a to-do list which I consult to see what I can do. This is really useful, because it helps me keep track of the day and what I’m doing.
Stay safe!
