THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO – Fun Home Activities While on Lockdown!

Another weekend is upon us and we’re still in lockdown. So, until we’re able to get out and socialize again, the entertainment blog will provide you with fun things you can try at home!

One of my favorites is Family Game Time. In fact, my family has game time on holidays and other times throughout the year. Our favorite game is Bingo. Anyone who wishes to play must bring a wrapped gift of $5 or less. Players are allowed a max of two Bingo cards, and when you have a Bingo, you can continue to play but can’t win another prize until everyone else has! We also play classic board games such as Monopoly, Life, Candy Land, and Chutes & Ladders (remember these?). You can even change the rules to make these games harder. You might also try the game Scattergories. 

It’s amazing how many new words our family has created! Remember, you can purchase board games online and have them delivered to your home, or just create one of your own!!

Another favorite of mine is Watching Movies. For me, it’s more fun watching movies with my family rather than alone. Have each family member pick out their favorite movie then select which day the entire family will watch it. Then, set-up your kitchen as a movie theatre lobby with popcorn, drinks, and candy! Bring the movie theatre to the comfort of your own home!!

How about having an Indoor Picnic. It could actually be more fun than a formal dinner and is perfect for feeding a family, or even ideal for a romantic date night option. And kids love it just as much as adults. Plus, there’s an added bonus: no bugs or sunburns to worry about! So, bring out your blankets, choose suitable food like hot dogs for the kids and skewers for the adults, and have yourself a great picnic!!

Whether you have kids or not, everyone loves Disney – right? So, good vocals or not, get those endorphins flowing by belting out your favorite musical hits from Disney movies! Why not turn it into a talent show while you’re at it!!

Be Well Everyone!!
