Quarantine and self-isolation forces you to spend the whole day at home, and if you still have children, it becomes torture. What can you do to diversify your leisure time?
1. Learning foreign languages. This will not only diversify your speech with new beautiful expressions in foreign languages, but will improve memory, open up new horizons when immersed in the language environment. And also if you are an avid traveler, then it will also be useful for you in practice.
Start by learning a language that has always been close to you. Or where you plan to travel after the end of the pandemic. Or where you have already traveled and heard a couple of words or expressions.
2. Board games. Fortunately, there are a huge number of them now, including games with children. You can easily order online with courier delivery to your home. Which game to choose is only at your discretion. Now there are many amateurs, so you can easily find reviews. Perhaps the most popular game is Monopoly. But chess / checkers can also be attracted here.
3. Dancing. You have dreamed of dancing for a long time, but there was still not enough time. So now is the time. You can start dancing from the comfort of your home. With or without a partner. Even with kids. Also, now there are many online resources that have opened their spaces and teach dance online and for free. Take advantage of the moment.
4. Sports, fitness. So that kilograms do not accumulate, online coaches conduct a lot of classes, and are also in the records in open sources. You can also exercise without weights if there is no dumbbell at home. But you can take bottles of water. For women, yoga and Pilates are ideal - only you and desire are needed here. Well, and a rug.
5. Watching TV shows and films. You often watch TV shows, but time does not always come to films. So it is worth revisiting the good old films, or new ones. But try to choose only comedic ones. In this difficult time, you should not wind yourself up even more. Sitcoms are ideal: Friends, Fraser, The Big Bang Theory, Miranda, etc. With movies it's even easier, revisit what has always lifted your spirits: Route 60, Poliana, Diary of Memory "," Pretty Woman ".
6. Online courses and trainings. There is a huge variety: from personal growth to university courses. Many online sites have made free test access during quarantine, so that those who are interested can continue to study. Nobody will take money from you for trial lessons / courses, but it's worth getting interesting information.
7. Reading books. Well, this is a very popular activity, although many are trying to reduce the interest in reading to zero. But this is not the case. Many famous people read a lot. Maybe you should overcome the dislike for reading instilled in school by starting in the classics, which made you sick. For example, you can discover a lot for yourself that you did not notice before in War and Peace, Anna Karenina, Crime and Punishment. Or read the favorite of schoolchildren, J. K. Rowling.
8. Team online games. You can play sea battle online with your girlfriend. And for those who are especially advanced, there are online quizzes. It's almost the same, only online. Your team is registered on the site, of which there are a lot. You can even play a free test game, but later they become paid, on average 500-1000 rubles. from the team. Communication takes place through any messenger, the answers, as usual, are submitted by the captain in a special form. The winner is who has more points in total. A good alternative for the quarantine period is to shake your brains.
9. Needlework, modeling, any kind of creativity. This is very suitable for children, and if you sew dolls together, do beading, design or sculpting, then it will take you and the children at least for the whole day. Painting by numbers is very popular - this is a coloring book for adults. Numbers are printed on a special canvas, which correspond to a certain color. No less popular are paintings that are embroidered, laid out with diamond mosaics, using the quilling technique, and burning. We also advise you to try: modeling from mastic, soap making, beadwork and sequins, dry felting.
10. Dismantle the house. You probably have a lot of unnecessary things accumulated: clothes that no one has worn for years, old broken dishes, unnecessary appliances, furniture. You need to get rid of all this, but you always had an excuse - later. And this "later" has come now.
11. Minor repairs. To repair the whole apartment and knock on the floor with a hammer, and with a puncher on the wall all day, until it's worth it. Everyone is at home, you want peace, not rattling from all sides from neighbors. But here are minor breakdowns, shortcomings can and should be eliminated. Your door has long been askew, until you put it straight on its hinges. The cat tore off some of the wallpaper in the corridor - glue it on. Wash the windows after winter, clean up the balcony where the debris is most.
12. Disassemble the first aid kit and cosmetic bag. Expired medications are unlikely to benefit you. Rather harm. Cosmetics also have an expiration date. If you have had ink for six months, it's time to replace it.
13. Puzzles and constructors. As a child, we all loved puzzles very much. But now there is a huge selection of puzzles for adults, so complex that it will be enough for the entire season of self-isolation. Arrange a competition with children - who is faster. Designers also develop fine motor skills, which is beneficial for a very young age, but only under your supervision. But this activity is not only for children, because there are constructors for adults and their choice is no less than for children.
14. Learn new programs. If you are working and you have gaps in some program, take advantage of the moment: 1C, Photoshop or CorelDRAW, etc. - what needs your attention.
