Is your entire family home due to COVID-19? Do you need some fun ideas of what you can do with your entire family without needing to leave your home? here are some easy family fun activities.


1. Take a walk as a family

As the weather is getting nicer it is important to get you and your family outside. Get some fresh air and enjoy a walk together. Make sure to stay 6ft away from anyone who is not in your immediate family.


2. Movie night

You know that movie that you and your family have been dying to see? Well now is the time for you and your family to spend some quality time together. Grab your favorite snack!


Some fun family friendly movies are:

-The Lion King

- Peter Rabbit

- The Hunger Games

- Toy Story


3. Have a dance party!!

Who doesn't love music and dancing around the house. Put on some of your favorite music and have a dance party in your living room. Have your entire family join in. If you want to make it more interesting turn it into a freeze dance part!


4. Bake or Cook together

Is there a new recipe that you wanted to try, or are you interested in learning how to cook? Now is your chance to learn family recipes. The whole family can help and then you can have dinner together.


5. Play a game together

Break out the cards or those old board games and gather around the table to enjoy a game together.


6. Learn a new skills

Have you ever wanted to learn a new language, learn how to draw, cook, or even perfect yoga skills. Now that you have time look online for ways to develop these skills. Make it a family affair and learn it together.
