Fun Social Distancing Activities
March is on the horizon and yet it’s no doubt been a long winter. If you’re like me and searching for ways to stave off the boredom, look no further! Our SMAs have pulled together some tips and activities for how to stay engaged while staying safe…
Being bored at home during the pandemic has happened to everyone, but there is one activity you can do that doesn't involve you being in front of a screen, which is sledding down a mountain with your family! Hiking up is slower when you are wearing snow pants and walking through the snow, but sledding down makes everything worth it. Find a mountain, I recommend Mt. Philo because there is a road so you can sled straight down. You can wear a helmet too, but if you look forward and steer you will be fine. Another activity you can do at home is to watch a new movie with your family- Hamilton anyone? Watching a good movie at the end of the day can help limit time spent on your phone throughout the day by giving you something to look forward to.

4 Social Distancing Activities to Eliminate Boredom
Covid-19 has severely impacted the way we interact with others. Here are four fun ways that you can continue to socialize safely!
Houseparty
“Houseparty is a social networking app that allows up to eight people to video chat at once in a “room.” Users can have infinite rooms and easily float between rooms. Users receive a notification when friends open the app and can join chats with friends (and friends of friends).”
Houseparty even allows you to play virtual games with people anywhere in the world! Download here.
DIY Mask Designing
I don’t know about you, but I am getting pretty bored of my plain mask. One activity you can do with the whole family is mask designing! Get your own designable mask here.
Takeout Night!
Pick your favorite places and get some takeout! This is a great way to support local businesses and enjoy a new restaurant with your family!
Build a Luge Course in Your Backyard
Okay, we have all built snowmen, but have you ever built a luge course? The process is quite simple. First, begin to shovel out a pathway down a hill. Then, continuously sled down the same path. If you want to get even fancier, you can build up the side of your luge course to create barriers! You could even use food coloring to design your course. If you feel it is safe to do so, you could invite a friend over to test it out!
