15 things to do when bored during Quarantine !

Today when the world including our country is engulfed with the panic attack of corona virus , we are all staying at home for our safety .

So , I assume that you get bored at home . Keeping this in mind , I have made a list of things that you can do at home when you are bored during quarantine .

Here it is :

1. Make finger puppets 

This is a very interesting way of entertaining yourself and your family . Make some fun finger puppets and make them dance on your tunes. Use them as props for storytelling with your family as audience .

2. Have movie nights with family 

As you cannot go to the theaters to watch movies , the only option left is to bring the theater home !
Pick a movie that you want to watch on Amazon etc . or a movie to be telecasted on TV . Make some popcorn , turn off all the lights and have a fun family movie night .

3. Workout at home

During quarantine , as you cannot go to work or school , your body is not exerting as much as it should be . And you all know how important it is to remain healthy especially during these days . So to keep your body fit , try to workout or exercise at home . Youtube can help you to find workout sessions . Dance is also a very good form of exercise , you might want to try it .

4. Play games with family

You like playing games with your friends . Don't you ? But this quarantine , spend some quality time with your family by playing board games or games that you can play inside the house like Hide and Seek , Polo etc.

5. Have talks with nature and teddy bears 

This might  sound weird to you . Right ? Well , this is something I do and I think it is a great time pass . All you have to do is assume that your teddy bear / nature is your friend and talk to them about your feelings , present situations etc . Although you are not going to receive replies , it is still quite fun !

6. Learn a new language

We all watch so many videos on You tube . So this time , let us use it for something productive. You can easily find many videos on You tube about learning languages like French , Spanish etc. Learning a different language is so much fun and it feels amazing when you greet your friends with a different language and they get puzzled .
Well , I have learnt French in my school and would like to give you a hint . 'Hi' in english is ' Salut'  in French.

7. Spend time with family

Entertaining yourself is equally important as spending time with family . Sit next to your parents / siblings and have a fun chat with them . Try cracking jokes and ask them riddles for fun !

8. Try some new recipes 

You might find it boring to help your mother in house cleaning  So  rather than doing that , head towards  the kitchen and try to make a dish that you have been longing to eat . Trust me it is a lot of fun to have a dish that you have made yourself.

9.  Develop a new skill 

There is at least one thing in each of our minds that we want to learn but we do not have the time for it . Well , what are you thinking ? This is the time . Go ahead and learn the skill that you have been longing to learn . In my free time , I also learnt a new skill - Calligraphy ! I always wanted to learn calligraphy to make my school projects look more attractive and now  I have taken my first step to be a Calligrapher . Here is one of my calligraphy art :

10. Reconnect with your old friends

Friends are a very important part of human life and how can we forget our friends ? So , pick up your phone and chat with your old friends . Talking to them makes you recall some old and fun memories and it feels amazing.

11. Start writing a journal 

Writing a journal is very fun and a great way of expressing your feelings. Journals are not to be shown to anyone else. So you can write down all your feelings without any worries of someone else reading it . Writing journals daily also helps in personality development.

12. Prank your family

April fools day is almost here and there is no harm in celebrating it a bit early or  a bit late . So gather all your mischevious plans together and pull pranks on your family . I have not pranked anybody yet but I am planning to do that soon !☺️

13. Do crafts 

I am a very crafty person and like to create many DIYs . Recently , I created an explosion birthday box for my dad whose birthday is approaching very soon ..... It is a lot of fun . You can try out origami , doodling and making puns . For some people it might act as a stress reliever also .

14. Reading 

Start reading story books , novels , comics etc . (even my blog) and you can make a fantasy world of stories that you have created on your own .

15. Healthcare 

 Last but not the least , in these difficult times it is very important to take care of our health . So , wash your hands frequently and also do not forget to drink and gargle with warm water .  Stay strong and remember :

"These times are hard but they will pass "

Stay at home , have fun and stay safe .

Bye !
