Quarantine is not an obstacle to fun: how to spend the weekend actively

Although many city fairs are closed this year, you won’t have to stay at home during the holidays.

To prevent the spread of coronavirus infection, the authorities decided to cancel mass events on New Year’s Eve and during the vacations. However, during the holidays it is simply impossible to stay at home. What to do during this period without risking your health? Here are some tips to start the year in a good mood.

Take a walk in the woods

Snow-covered trees, sunshine, frosty air… The winter landscape will not leave anyone indifferent. Just breathe fresh air, escape from the bustle of the city – already a good activity. But you can diversify the walk and make it more useful for your health: for example, take skis or Nordic walking poles. A couple of hours will fly by in no time.

No skis? No problem, you can build a bird feeder and install it on a tree in the forest or park – this will be a reason to return to it periodically and get out into nature more often.

Remember your childhood

A wonderful time that many people have fond memories of. Why not try to repeat those happy times by playing winter games? Call your friends, have a snowball fight or make a snowman, build an ice fortress or dress up together in the yard, ride down the slide. Now you can find a lot of alternatives to the classic sledding: water trampolines, ice skates, snowcats or the familiar from childhood cardboard.

Go to a ski resort

If you like extreme sports, you can try yourself as a racer on the slopes and finally decide whether you are on the side of skiers or snowboarders. The ski resort is also suitable for those who spend their free time with the family: riding down the snowy slopes on a huge snowboard is no less fun.

Arrange a photo shoot

It’s not hard to find a photographer – there are both beginners and professionals in every city, just search Instagram. And the studio is easily replaced by New Year signs and decorations that can be found on the streets and in storefronts.

New Year’s Eve is a family holiday, so you can organize a photo session with your family at home or in the nearest park. Revisiting these photos years later and returning to warm memories is a reason to smile and think about your nearest and dearest.

Try something new

Learn a new language, learn to knit, start going to the gym, plan a long-awaited vacation – you can start doing all of these things today. Don’t put off what you can do now.

Have another holiday party

Why limit yourself to New Year’s Eve? Get your friends and family together for the vacations: play board games, fireworks, bake cookies together or make delicious drinks. The main thing is good memories. And you can finish the evening by watching New Year’s movies: “The Irony of Fate”, “Home Alone”, “Harry Potter” – a perfect day in the circle of relatives.
