May 15, 2020During this very sad time, people are isolated and also very bored. To fix this boredom and to feel more connected, there are always some games you can play or do with your family or whoever you are quarantining with!
One thing you can do with your family is exercise! You are at home, so why not stay fit? I exercise every day or almost every day and the exercises are fun but very tiring! There are a lot of exercises you can do at home, such as push-ups, sit-ups, mountain climbers, wall sits, jumping jacks and skipping. You guys can also ride a bike, play soccer or even play volleyball in the backyard.
You should go outside when it's sunny and not when it is rainy to enjoy the outdoors! You can also do exercise challenges at home. How long can you do the plank? How long can you do a wall-sit? How fast can you run in one spot without stopping? I've done a lot of exercise challenges at home and I advise you guys to do exercise challenges as well. Exercising with your family creates new bonds and my family has created a lot of memories since the pandemic. It is also a way to stay healthy!
Another thing you can do with your family are the challenges on TikTok and playing board games. I've played board games like Snakes and Ladders and Guess Who? You can also play games like Monopoly or Candyland. Board games are fun because you can do them with your family. You can get competitive with each of the people you are quarantining with.
Whenever I play board games with my family, I feel like we get closer all the time. If you guys play board games with your family, you will feel a sense of closeness with your family as well.
TikTok is the most downloaded app on the web. There are many challenges on this app, but the challenge that stands out the most to me is the #toiletpaperchallenge. The toilet paper challenge is when you get a stand and a toilet paper roll and try to toss it on the stand. Many people have tried it and it's a lot harder than it looks. You and your family should go on TikTok and find challenges like these because it is lots of fun. Try it!
Even though people are sad, bored and are feeling isolated during the pandemic, there are still lots of things you can do with your family or whoever you are quarantined with. Take my advice, guys!
