Let's face it, since we are all staying home waiting for this third wave to pass, cabin fever is sure to set in at some point. So, why not scratch around in your storage and
pull out those old board games you don't really play anymore. There's bound to be something for the entire family to enjoy. And if you don't have any, luckily you can order a few online and have them delivered right to your home.
Here's a few suggestions if you're wondering what games there are available.
Now, we know that it's a little chilly outside considering it's winter and there's a cold front coming in, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy some fresh air and sunshine with your family. Other than the usual – gardening, walking, and working out if you don't want to head to the gyms just yet – you and the kids can host a fun-filled tea party, play a few backyard games to get them running about and blowing off some energy with some outdoor exercise.
Here's a few things you can do out in your garden.
Once the kids have blown off some steam in the garden, why not get them comfortable on the couch with movies that can them understand and get through the pandemic. There are some goodies that's not only entertaining, but will teach the little ones about viruses and how they effect the body (think the oldie,
Osmosis Jones) and how to handle their emotions during this challenging and unpredictable time (
Inside Out).
