For many the school year is coming to an end. Because Corona is still out there the summer fun activities might be limited or a little different. Here’s a list of fun things to do with your free time
- Workout- I like Pamela Reif’s HIIT workouts. They are only 20 minutes and they are great if you want to get in shape or tone those abs.
- Go to a Drive-In movie theater- The drive-ins are a great way to get outside and spend time with family while social distancing from others.
- Learn a new skill- I am learning how to do sign language in my free time. It is fun to learn and I can apply it to real life.
- Bake/Cook- If you follow social media sometimes you’ll see someone posted a really good looking cake or recipe. Now is the time to test your culinary skills and get in the kitchen.
- Read a Book- I recently read Little Fired Everywhere by Celeste Ng. It was a great book and I recommend it if you like drama, romance, and books that talk about social and racial issues. I also read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It was about a crazy dystopia that burns books(its a classic).
- Watch TV- If you aren’t a fan of reading the book Little Fires Everywhere is also a tv show on HULU. I recommend watching it and reading the book.
- Go on a walk or run- Taking a walk at the park or around your neighborhood is a great way to get some fresh air and look at the scenery.
- Draw/paint- I used some of my free time to go outside and paint. You can paint and draw whatever you want but you can just enjoy nature while doing it.
- Ride your bike- Riding bikes is super fun whether you do it with family and friends or by yourself. It’s a great way to be active and you get to feel the wind in your face while doing it(which is great because it’s very hot outside).
- Game Night- No matter how old you are everyone loves board games. Monopoly, Candy Land, Connect 4, Trivia. Game Night is sure to bring the family together for some friendly competition.
