12 Fun Activities To Do With Covid
12 Fun Activities To Do With Covid
There’s no denying that there is a lot to worry about right now. However, in the spirit of “let’s make the most of a bad situation”, we’ve collected the best activities you can do while you’re stuck inside.
Some of them will get you off your phone, some will get you out into nature, and others will give you a chance to spend quality time with your family. Here are some fun things to try:
Go for a walk
This is one of the most popular activities on Covid because it’s so simple. All you have to do is go for a walk. But where should you walk? Well, there are so many different places in which to walk that it would be impossible to list them all here!
The options are endless.
The park – You could stroll through your local park and admire the trees, flowers, ponds, and other wildlife. If you’re lucky enough to live near an urban area with large parks or even nature reserves, then there’s no shortage of things to see and do while on a walk there!
The woods – If possible, try going for walks in forests rather than dense urban areas (unless this is where you live). Forests offer cooler temperatures than cities during hot summer days; they also offer shade from harsh sunlight during winter months when temperatures drop below freezing point (Celsius) at night time hours which may lead to snowfall if not properly prepared beforehand with adequate clothing such as sweaters/jackets etcetera—
Go Outside And Enjoy The Weather
In the city: The exciting, fast-paced lifestyle of a city can often leave you feeling like you’re missing out on some of nature’s best offerings. But if you slow down, look around, and take a deep breath, it’s easy to find beauty in something as simple as a tree or plant growing in an abandoned lot. When you see things from this perspective, everything starts looking better—and that includes yourself!
In the country: Whether it’s hiking through mountains or strolling along a beach at sunset with your loved ones by your side (or even just enjoying them from afar), there are plenty of ways to enjoy nature. You don’t have to go too far out of town before finding yourself surrounded by natural beauty—so why not take some time for it? Your body will thank you later!
On a boat: Nothing beats being on the water when it comes down to relaxing with friends and family members while also getting some fresh air on board an old fishing vessel. Try looking into renting one right now!
Make a scrapbook of your favorite memories of your friends.
Here’s what you’ll need.
- A photo album or scrapbook, or just some paper and a pen.
- Some pictures of the best times you’ve had with your friends. You can use these as inspiration for writing about the memories.
- A glue stick or tape if you want to put your favorite photos onto a page in your album/scrapbook.
Make A Fort
You can make a fort with pillows, blankets, and cardboard boxes. You can make it as big or small as you like, but if you’re planning on having a secret party in your fort, then keep it small so that no one will notice.
If, on the other hand, you want to share your fort with others, then make it big enough for several people at once!
Once your fort is complete with all the items needed to build a haven from all outside forces (and potential invaders), sit back and enjoy what we hope is an epic moment of triumph! Afterward, let’s take a look at some alternate uses for covers.
Have A Picnic In Your Backyard And InviteYour Neighbors.
One of the best ways to get to know your neighbors is by inviting them over for a picnic in your backyard.
Then, you can do other fun activities together! You can plan a game of croquet or horseshoes, or maybe you could go on a hike together.
You can even ask your neighbor if they’ve ever heard of Covid before and tell them about how it helps people connect. The more friendly connections we make with our neighbors, the better off we all are!
It’s easy too: Here’s how.
- Call up one of your neighbors and ask if she’d like to come over for some food by the pool this weekend (with plenty of room for all).
- Cook up some yummy dips and snacks at home so that everything is ready when she arrives (and wear something comfortable).
- Get creative with flowers from around town—they’ll make an excellent welcome mat once guests arrive! Add some fresh-cut blooms next time you buy groceries at Whole Foods Market…or check out these ideas here!
Have a picnic
When it comes to picnics, you have your pick of the litter. You can go for a day-long excursion or a quick afternoon snack. There are so many different types of picnics and locations that you could combine into one!
Picnic food ideas.
Packing snacks and sandwiches are always easy, but if you want something more elaborate, consider bringing along some appetizers or finger foods. A few international cuisines lend themselves well to picnic fares such as Indian samosas, Middle Eastern baklava, or Spanish tapas (small plates). Don’t forget the drinks! Beverage options include everything from water bottles to wine bottles and champagne flutes—and don’t forget about nonalcoholic options like fruit juice boxes and sparkling water bottles.
Picnic preparation tips.
Food prep doesn’t always happen at home; think outside the box when it comes to where your feast will be prepared as well! Try grilling up your main course at home then finishing off with dessert in the car on your way out of town.
or take advantage of local restaurants’ outdoor seating areas during lunch hour on Friday so that everyone can enjoy their meal together while listening to live music playing nearby.
or prepare all ingredients ahead online using Covid’s “Cook” feature so that all dishes are ready before leaving for the vacation spot without worrying about time constraints imposed by traditional cooking methods!
Write a poem about how much you love your family
Think about each person in the family and what they mean to you, then write a poem
that describes their personality, interests, or anything else that makes them special.
You can write one for each member of the family or just one for all of them as a group.
Collect old newspaper articles and hang them on your bedroom walls
You can also use a bulletin board, corkboard, pin board, magnet board, or magnetic wall to display your collected articles.
If you want something more permanent than paper and pins and don’t mind spending money on a big purchase (but not as big as the one above),
take a look at the options available for magnetic boards and notice boards in stores like Target or Walmart—they’re generally cheaper than buying an entire new dry erase board.
Make A Cake
Bake a cake.
Decorate the cake.
Eat the cake!
Have a party with your friends and family, or host a sleepover at your house.
Make a birthday cake with your family, or make one for someone else’s birthday. You can even make it as something special as their favorite ice cream flavor!
Invite all of your neighbors over to join in on making cakes together! This is also a great way to get acquainted with everyone in your neighborhood if you’re new in town or just want friends that live close by so that you have people near you when it comes time for emergencies (like water main breaks). Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse for some delicious treats?
Play Tag
You can play tag with anything that has two ends, like a football, or a broomstick.
You could also use a pillowcase filled with feathers and cotton (preferably old ones from your own house). If you want to get playful, use another person’s pillowcase instead!
Go To The Park
You can do this activity with your friends, or you can take your family.
The first thing you should do is find a park in your neighborhood and go there. The second thing you should do is bring things to eat and drink. You may want to bring some toys also so that they will be happy while they are waiting for dinner time. Once everyone has arrived at the park, it’s time to play! First off, if there’s a playground in sight, go play on it! Everyone loves playing on playgrounds because those things have all kinds of fun stuff like slides and swings and teeter-tots! If there isn’t any playground nearby then try these other ideas:
- Go on a picnic (this could be very fun with Covid)
- Play games like tag or hide-and-seek (if someone doesn’t mind being it)
Play Catch
Play catch with a friend.
Play catch with a pet.
Play catch with yourself.
Play catch with a ball, or frisbee or football or baseball or soccer ball, or whatever else you can get your hands on!
Have A Water Balloon Fight
- Fill up some water balloons and have a water balloon fight in the park, backyard, or with your friends or family.
- Aim for your friend’s faces as they try and dodge them by moving around the playground!
- If you’re good at throwing, try catching their balloon on the rebound and hitting their face again!
- Repeat until everyone has gotten hit in the face enough times to call it quits for the day (or until it rains).
Ride Bikes
Ride bikes. It’s a simple activity, but it can be fun and informative. Ride bikes in the park with your family or friends. Use this time to chat about what has been happening lately, share your thoughts about something you’ve read recently,
or just enjoy each other’s company while enjoying some fresh air and sunlight.
Ride bikes through your neighborhood at night after dinner when it’s too dark out to see anything clearly (you’ll have to use flashlights). This is a good way to get closer with others who live near you because they will most likely feel more comfortable talking than they would on other days when they’re not riding their bike around aimlessly in the dark looking for clues that lead them away from home.*
Ride bikes over to someone else’s house where there might be snacks or drinks waiting for you! If no one is home then hop onto their couch and watch TV until someone does come back home—which should still give them plenty of time if these activities don’t interest them too much anyway! Don’t forget about all those interesting shows airing right now on HBO Go And Cable Tv On-Demand Services (HBO Now)!
Roller Blade
Rollerblade is an exciting sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It’s fast, fun, and great for your health.
Rollerblading is a great way to get around, travel, and exercise.
If you’ve never tried it before, this sport is easy to pick up and extremely easy to master with practice.
Go To The Beach
You can go to the beach and do all of the following.
- Go swimming in the ocean or a lake.
- Build a sand castle.
- Make sand angels on your stomach while laying on your back, with arms and legs outstretched.
- Build a sand sculpture (like an elephant, crocodile, or turtle) with your hands only—without using tools like shovels or buckets of water! Invent your own rules for this game if you want to make it even more challenging! You could also try making sculptures out of larger objects like wood scraps or sticks instead of using just fine grains of sand as material. The possibilities are endless!
- Make other types of art with the beach materials at hand such as drawing pictures in wet sand with sticks before they dry out completely; creating new designs by adding shells or pebbles around existing artwork; drawing faces on rocks then giving those rocks away as gifts for friends who come along later (or keep them yourself if there aren’t any other people nearby).
Make A Homemade Pizza
You can make your pizza dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings! Making these things from scratch is very satisfying and the process of making them will take you through several steps of cooking.
Start by making your pizza pan. To do this, get 2 pieces of cardboard that are about 8 inches in diameter. You can use a real pizza pan or just use cardboard as long as you have 2 even circles with about 3-4 inches between them for the crust to rise on (the center should look like a donut). Next cut some holes in each piece of cardboard to make handles so it’s easy to carry around when it gets hot while baking.
Now let’s focus on making our very own homemade pizza cutter! All you need is a wooden ruler and an old pair of scissors or any sharp object that has been sharpened by filing down one side until it becomes thin enough where one could easily slide over paper but not so thin that only partway through cutting does anything get sliced off (if this happens then just file down more till both sides meet evenly).
You need something long enough so that there aren’t any gaps between slices; keep filing away until each slice comes out cleanly without having any loose ends sticking out afterward.”
Build A Gingerbread House
Building a gingerbread house is a fun activity to do with your family, friends, or even your boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s also a great idea if you want to take some time for yourself this holiday season.
You can start by baking the gingerbread mix according to the instructions on the packet and then cool it down before you start building your house.
You can decorate your house however you like but make sure it looks good enough so Santa will be impressed by what he sees when he arrives on Christmas Eve!
It doesn’t matter what you do, just get creative!
You can do anything you want with covid. Whether you’re doing it with friends, family, or a new friend, there are lots of different ways to use covid.
There’s no right or wrong way to play!
If you’re feeling creative and want to take the game in your direction, then go for it! The great thing about games is that they allow us to express ourselves through play.
Conclusion
The important thing is that you use this time to do something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the opportunity. There are many great activities out there that can help keep your mind off of everything else happening right now in our world. And if you’re worried about getting bored with them, just remember: YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING NEW TO DO! You may even find yourself wishing there were more hours in each day so you could enjoy even more things than possible before.
