The current pandemic conditions make everyone always stay at home. Doing activities and spending a lot of time at home in the midst of a pandemic makes school/work days and holidays feel no different. Given the current pandemic, having a vacation outside the home is undoubtedly risky.
Even though some tourist attractions have returned to operation, the risk of being exposed to the Coronavirus will still exist if we face the health protocols that have been determined. Therefore, vacationing at home is the best solution at this time. Vacations at home can be fun with the following ideas:
- Cook
Not all food has to be bought because we can make it at home. Besides being more efficient, cooking your own food at home will be more hygienic and can be created according to taste. Cooking can also foster curiosity in children, therefore we can invite children to cook together. Choose an easy-to-follow recipe and make it with your children.
- Making tie-dye clothes
Tie-dye clothes have been in trend for a long time, but since the pandemic, this trend has resurfaced. We can invite children to be creative and make tie-dye clothes with colors and motifs according to their imagination and creativity.
- Looking for treasure
Toys, books, accessories, or children's favorite items can be used as treasures. We can hide these objects in the area around the house or in the rooms in the house. Then, make a small, easy-to-understand map as a guide to finding these objects.
- Try virtual travel
In an increasingly sophisticated world, traveling can be done virtually via gadgets without having to come to the tourist spot directly. Some tourist destinations/places even have technology that supports virtual travel.
- Movie marathon
Watching movies with family is certainly much more fun. Choose a film they have never seen together and invite the children to watch the film together. Also, prepare snacks and drinks that can be enjoyed together while watching a movie.
- Play games together
Not only video games are fun and exciting, but board games such as Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, etc. can also be an option as exciting and fun games. In addition, this game can also hone children's intelligence and how they make decisions while playing.
Those are some ideas that can be used as inspiration for those of us who are on vacation at home so that our children or we don't get bored even though they are only on vacation at home. The above activities can also be varied with other activities that can hone the motor skills and imagination of the child. Happy holidays and happy spending time with your beloved family.
