1. Online Games Night

Why not host an online games night for your friends and family. Zoom is a great tool, and you can play charades, bingo, or host a murder mystery.

2. Binge on Disney+

While you might not be able to get to the cinema, there are plenty of streaming services like Disney+ or Netflix, so spend the afternoon chilling.

3. Carpet Picnic

A carpet picnic is excellent because it doesn’t depend on the weather and the kitchen is always close by! Throwdown a blanket and make sandwiches and other picnic delights.

4. Watch a Live Stream 

If you are really missing the beach, you can always log on to one of the many live streams from beaches worldwide.

5. Visit a Zoo

During the lockdown, many zoos have been able to keep visitors entertained with webcams in various exhibits. Watch monkeys, lions, tigers and more in their habitats.

6. Karaoke Night 

Have your own family version of The Voice or Britain’s Got Talent with a sing-off via karaoke. You may want to apologise to the neighbours in advance.

7. Bake Off

You might not get Pru Leith to judge, but you could host a home bake-off, and the winner gets out of the washing up. 

8. Wine Tasting

Strictly for the adults of the house, of course. Supermarkets offer home delivery, so order a few bottles to taste. 

9. Virtual Come Dine 

Another way to have a great night on Zoom is to have a Come Dine Night with some friends. Cook your favourite dishes and pick a winner.

10. Camp Out 

Depending on the weather, you could pitch a tent in the garden or camp out in the living room.

11. The Floor is Lava

This is a hilarious game where someone can suddenly shout ‘The Floor is Lava’, and everyone must get off the floor fast. 

12. Pizza Night 

Make homemade pizzas; you can get ready-made bases or make your own and add loads of toppings; the only limit is your imagination.  

13. Escape Rooms

Virtual escape rooms are great fun and can be played remotely with other households. There are lots you can book online. 

14. Themed Movies 

Plan to watch the Harry Potter series in full fancy dress and create some appropriate snacks like chocolate frogs. 

15. Pamper Party 

From painting your nails to a hair mask, there are plenty of ways to recreate a spa experience from the comfort of your own home. 

16. Virtual Beach Party 

If funds allow, turn the central heating up high and lounge around in your swimming cossie with a cocktail in hand. 

17. Ice Cream Smoothies

Make some ice cream smoothies and pretend you are on the seafront as you drink them—stock up on bananas, cherries, sprinkles and of course, ice cream.

18. Jigsaws

Jigsaws have seen an enormous surge in popularity during lockdown, so why not join the trend and do a jigsaw?

19. Make a Bucket List 

Although you may not be able to travel at the moment, it doesn’t stop you making plans for the future. Create a bucket list for when things unlock. 

20. Garden 

Why not create an indoor herb garden or get outside and start preparing for spring? This could be the year you grow some veggies.

21. Art Competition

If you fancy yourself as a budding Picasso – or just want to have a bit of fun, have an art competition with other members of your household.

22. Write a Family Book 

Everyone can get involved with creating characters and planning what adventures they will get up to. 

23. Find a YouTube Channel to Follow

YouTube has loads of great videos that you can stream for free, so why not take your time to find a new YouTube channel to enjoy regularly. 

24. Random Acts of Kindness

Why not order a few packets of sweets from your online shopping and leave them around the neighbourhood for people to find, with a note saying ‘this is a random act of kindness?

25. Enjoy the Peace

Of course, you may just want to spend an afternoon enjoying the peace and doing nothing but lounging on the sofa with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
