10 Free (or Cheap) Things to Do While You're Shut In by COVID-19

Many of us are on Day 9 or Day 16 or Day 22 of being locked down in our homes waiting for the coronavirus pandemic to ease. We're working from home all or much of the time, and we're lonely -- or starting to get a little stir crazy from being cooped up with our families so much. Fortunately, there are more options and opportunities than ever for people bored at home.
How To Make the Weekend Feel Special During COVID-19

Family Spa Day: Draw up a bubble bath, bust out the nail polish, and take some selfies with your sheet masks (and tag #a2kids). We all could use some extra pampering during this stressful time, plus we demonstrate to our kids the importance of self-care.

Family Game Night: Rediscover board games with the family! Don’t have any on hand? Some crowd-pleasing, all ages games that are easily accessible online or with everyday material include charades, pictionary, or the question game.

Take a Hike: Grab the stroller and/or some walking shoes and explore outside! This could be a walk around the neighborhood or a hike through one of our local parks (just make sure to maintain the 6 feet of social distancing!). Check out this cool coloring book the Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation Department has created.

Try Geocaching: Download any geocaching app of your choice, hop in the car and navigate from one spot to the next. Alternately, you could find a trail or neighborhood with a few hidden caches and start walking!

Virtually Tour an Art Museum: Some of the most famous art museums in the world–Guggenheim, Musee d’Orsay, Van Gogh Museum, and more–are offering FREE virtual tours. Make it seem like an event by drinking hot cocoa (and coffee) while the family peruses some of the most famous art in the world.
