10 Things to do while you Stay away from the Corona Virus


Family Travel Go Stay

We are living in quite unique times right now with the Corona Virus spreading and people staying home.

But, don’t let these times prevent you from adventuring. There are many adventures you can take without leaving your house (or your home town if you aren’t under forced quarantine.)

Here I will share our ideas to stay entertained and adventurous while at home.

10. Travel Virtually

Throw on a VR Headset and immerse yourself in a different location.

I personally have created and uploaded many 360 VR videos on YouTube.

Here are a few of our favorite VR videos.


Need helping figuring out how to watch a 360 video? Check out our how to video below.

 

Many museums and zoos have also been uploading content for virtual experiences.

Don’t have a VR a headset?

Buy one on amazon or you could even make one to use with your phone.

I just use my phone with a inexpensive VR headset.

9. Explore your own Backyard

As in now many US State and National Parks and city and local parks have not been closed.

So you can get out and hike and explore in your own area.

If the local parks are closed or you are quarantined it’s a great time to start a garden, or play in your own yard.

8. Play Games

Games are a great way to experience adventures from home. Whether you’re into Board Games or videos games it’s a fun way to explore.

We love playing board games and retro video games from my childhood.

Don’t have an old console? No worries. There’s many free educational and fun games online right now.

Don’t have many board games? Make your own.

7. Create Games

There are many games you can make from your house without any supplies even.

We have played a spin on hide and seek game with my brother in law many times that is a blast.

I also remember hiding toys and having people find them when I was little. It’s kind of like an Easter egg hunt but with toys.

Let us know what kind of games you created as a kid or even as an adult.

6. Watch Movies

Many movies are moving from theatrical release straight to streaming platforms.

You can now watch many movies from home. Trolls 2 is set to be released for digital streaming on its theatrical release date and Frozen 2 has been uploaded to Disney plus earlier than originally planned.

5. Get your Groove On

Many of us have some kind of musical instrument laying around thats collecting dust. I have a guitar I haven’t played in months.

No instrument no worries. There are many free music apps. You can easily learn to play piano with the free Garage Band App on iPhones or iPads.

4. Create A Masterpiece

Get creative and make something. We love trying our best to draw and be creative.

Get out some art supplies or even a pen or pencil and doodle. When’s the last time you drew or created art?

3. Read

Get lost in a book. Reading is a great way to go on adventures and explore. I read to my boys almost every night and it’s such a fun thing to do.

2. Exercise

Just because the gyms have closed it doesn’t mean you have to stop working out. Beachbody and many workout videos are now free for a limited time.

I’ve started the Insanity workout and it is intense but I love it!

1. Cook

Now that most of the world has stocked up on groceries and many restaurants are closed its time to try cooking.

We have one article about some delicious camping recipes but you can make them at home as well!
