Sometimes it rains, sometimes plans fall through, and sometimes, we just do not want to go out. But being stuck in the house all the time can drive you crazy! Need something to get you away from your indoor blues? Try doing something active indoors. Not only will it pass the time, but it will boost your oxytocin (those good feeling hormones). Need an idea? Here are a few to get you started:
- Have a pillow fight
- Play musical chairs
- Throw a family dance party
- Put together a scavenger hunt (works the body and the brain!)
- Build a fort
- Make an indoor obstacle course
- Play hide and seek
- Have a hallway race
- Blow off the dust off and play a game of Twister
- Play Charades
- Learn a Dance Routine: put on Thriller, Single Ladies, or Uptown Funk and learn some moves.
- Have the family put on a show
- Make a human pyramid
- Play Simon Says
- Do some chores
- Do a work out video
- Play balloon volleyball
- Act out story time
- Hula Hoop
- Jump on the bed
Remember be safe and have fun! Find your inner kid, and turn your bleh day into a hooray day.
