Activities to Keep up Spirits While Being Indoors

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

The activities children or people of all ages can do while being indoors are numerous, all people have to do is be creative.

One of the ways is to participate in a dictionary draw. People randomly look up different words and then they draw a realistic, fantasy, and fun picture of the word they picked out.

People can also write a diary or do some journaling. Scrapbooking is also a fun and interesting activity to do; or just look at old pictures from a photo album and reflect on the stories each one holds from the past.

Also, families and friends could write a story together where each person writes a paragraph from the other person’s paragraph and they can continue the story together.

Children can make their own book by drawing and colouring their own pictures. If they don’t feel creative, an adult can draw pictures for them. Store brought colouring books or activity books are also a good way to spend time.

Another idea is parents or adults can teach children how to make God’s eyes or how to do finger knitting.

Nowadays, families usually don’t have time to cook together, so being indoors gives everyone a chance to cook from

scratch and invent recipes together or find a cook book in the house and try out the different recipes in there.

It’s also fun to make magazine beads which are done by cutting long triangle paper from magazine and then wrap it around a knitting needle or tooth pick. These beads can be varnish if people want to make it more durable and give it an interesting touch.

Another idea is to draw a self-portrait; it doesn’t have to be perfect.

There are also activities that are low cost and can consist of playing board games families already own or if there are none of these around, families can play tic tac toe with a sheet of paper and a pencil.

Most of all, it is important to have fun as every moment of a person life is precious.
