Every year has its bag of goodies and surprises. 2020 is no difference, the surprise is indeed surprising. It all started with fire outbreaks, to lockdown, to wearing of nose and face covering, to social distancing, to no social gathering and to protests. Is there more to come? The world is always really not prepared for anything, debatable, but, we always cope and live with it.
If this year has taught me anything, it’s to cherish the moment we spend together with our loved ones and live life to the fullest. All I hope for is things getting back to normal. Do not forget to follow all social protocols put in place to keep you and others safe. If you are not stepping out for the weekend but staying indoors like myself, here are seven (7) interesting things to do to make your weekend extra fun and relaxing.
- INDOOR GAMES
Ready for some competition and rib hurting laughter? indoor games got you covered.
This is the moment all phones are laid away to strengthen the bond you share with your loved ones at home.You can indulge in Ghanaian games like ‘oware’, ‘ludo’, ‘spar’ and others played in groups to make the atmosphere interesting and relaxing for all. Enjoy these games with friends, family or your lover.
No worries if you live alone, keep reading to find something more exciting for the weekend.Because there is always something for everyone.
- TRY NEW RECIPES
This is the time to try something new and make use of your unused recipe books and kitchenware. The time to rejuvenate your cooking skills. Preferably you can do this alone or with your loved ones. Use those left overs in the fridge, mix them and enjoy. Just don’t make poison.
- MOVIE NIGHT
Find an interesting movie, get yourself an ice-cream or popcorn and dim the lights, get comfortable and cozy with a loved one. Relax and enjoy the movie.
- CALL LONG-DISTANCE FRIENDS OR FAMILY
This is the best time to catch up with your friends and family, have that long conversation and rebuild relationships. You don’t know whom you will save from boredom. All the fun talks, advise, jokes and reminiscing memories will do you good.
- CLEAN AND REORGANIZE THE HOUSE
Time to play loud music, dance and make magic happen. Turn the house upside down and clean the entire house whiles dancing and singing along. You will be surprised how fun this can be for you. Give the house a new vibe by changing the positions of items around the house. This activity is very necessary.
6 READ A BOOK
You don’t need to have a hardcopy book to get your reading party started, you can download them online and enjoy. Now find an interesting book and get yourself a cup of tea or juice and have fun. Try and complete the book.
7 CLEAR YOUR PHONE AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Now is the time to delete contacts from your phone that you will definitely won’t ever use again and unfollow accounts that are no longer active or needed. Delete unwanted, unnecessary and duplicate stuff from your phone and social media pages. Backup your phone if possible.
I hope you try any or all of these seven activities, have an idyllic weekend.
