Fun Activities to do on Easter while Quarentined

Christina Marino, Senior

This year, COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, has prevented us from gathering around family and other loved ones, which means no Easter mass or gathering around the table to have an amazing lunch or dinner. Here is a list of activities to do during this quarantined Easter celebration and some very easy baking ideas. Easter Egg Hunts are always a fun activity to do even while quarantined. Since everyone can still go outside, doing an Easter Egg Hunt can be a fun activity to do while spending family time together, and the winner can get a free roll of toilet paper. Baking is another great idea to do, especially with kids. Making cake pop Easter eggs is always fun, and since cake pops are so easy to make, the decorating part can be so much fun. Dying Easter eggs can still be fun and a good way to laugh during a hard time. Zoom has been a big thing recently with teachers using it to connect with students, but also you can use Zoom to keep in contact with family members on Easter. Every year, most families are together; they still can be while having a Zoom chat during the dinner table or just catching up on life. It is never not a great time to have a dance party; since most of the time we are going to be spent on the sofa watching TV or a movie, getting up to dance to your favorite songs with your family will just bring so much joy.

Baking Easter cookies is another fun baking activity to do since cookies are very easy to make and at home cookie recipes are all over the web;. When they are done cooling, everyone can decorate with bright colors making it still feel like Easter day. Playing a family board game is never not a good idea. We have all this time, and what is not fun about playing monopoly, or even some good card games you could get off Amazon? Gathering together to make an amazing dinner for your family is quality family time, and it will help out a lot with everyone working together to either set the table or help make a salad. Tie dying has been a big trend recently, and it is super easy to do, and since you can get dye off of Amazon or other websites that are shipped to your house, younger kids would love to tie dye anything. Coloring and painting is one of the easiest ways to entertain anyone older and younger. Having a painting contest with your family is one of the best ways to have fun. Planting or even painting planting pots is a good way to still be around nature and have fun since plants are a really big thing right now painting a pot would be a fun way to have fun.
