Wake County has cancelled school at least until May 15th, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which means students get to stay home and de-stress, while also navigating the new waters of online instruction. But what do you do when you’re bored out of your mind after the first couple days of break? Here are a few fun activities you can do while practicing safe social-distancing:
- Draw or paint the view from your window
- Learn a magic trick and perfect it
- Reorganize your room
- Write and send a letter to a family member
- Sort through your clothes and make a donation pile
- Read a book series
- Listen to a new genre of music
- Find a recipe with the ingredients you already have at home
- Deep clean a room in your house
- Knit a scarf
- Write a short story
- Learn a new language
- Treat yourself to a day of self-care and relaxation
- Complete a 15-minute stretch every day
- Dye your hair!
