Prepare Your Family for Coronavirus Summertime Activities

Prepare Your Family for Coronavirus Summertime Activities.

With the growing coronavirus pandemic and the recommendations of practicing social distancing, now it’s a good time to prepare your family for Coronavirus summertime activities.

It’s becoming obvious that this summer won’t be like any other. If you have children, it might be challenging to keep them and yourself entertained.

I know many of us have concerns about video games, but they might be just one of the methods we can use for entertainment, especially with games that the family can play together. Of course, we should always exercise good video gaming practices, especially when it comes to kids.

Other family activities could include playing board games and watching movies together. If your fortunate enough to have a backyard, perhaps a family camp out could be lots of fun.

Devices like the Amazon Echo have Skills that are like apps that help you do more with Alexa. Use them to play games like Jeopardy or song quiz, listen to your favorite podcast or music, relax with Thunderstorm Sounds, Family time: “Alexa, open Amazon Storytime.” “Alexa, open Kids Court.”, and more.

I know we’re all going through stressful times with this horrible Coronavirus pandemic, but for the sake of our children and ourselves, perhaps some of these suggestions may help.

I wish everyone a happy and safe summer.
