The 7 Alternative Family Activities For Leisure Time During At Home. Working from home, studying from home and so many activities that we usually do outside, must be done from home. What a surprise, the house, which is usually "only" busy in the morning and evening, suddenly became the center of the whole family's activities.

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim, Many activities have had to be reorganized and social interaction have been limited since the Covid-19 pandemic to prevent the spread of the corona virus. Children also feel different sensations. All routines related to school and college must be carried out at home, carrying out “mandatory” activities only from home, followed by a series of routine activities at home: cleaning the house and various kinds of household chores and trying to be productive during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Doing various routine activities at home, rarely traveling for long periods of time, leaving the house only as needed, we vaguely start to feel bored because most of the time at home. They began to express their longing to go around, just like before the pandemic. It cannot be deny if the child starts to feel bored every day at home, which can trigger stress.

Therefore, ice breaking activities are needed so that the boredom that arises does not accumulate into stress. Some of the following activities can be an alternative to fill your spare time and hopefully become an ice breaking that can get rid of boredom while at home. 

Here are the 7 Alternative Family Activities For Leisure Time During At Home:

  • Take a light picnic by enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere (nature) around the house. This activity is considered the easiest and cheapest thing to do, but it can raise a good mood. It is enough to visit the rice fields that spread green or yellowish rice plants when the harvest season arrives, the sensation of leisure time is not inferior to traveling to Raja Ampat Island
  • Explore new hobbies such as growing flowers and various ornamental plants. Or keep freshwater ornamental fish such as betta fish, koi fish, louhan fish, molly fish, guppy fish or other types of freshwater ornamental fish that are not difficult to care for because they are types of freshwater fish that do not die easily.
  • Learn to make cake, pizza, cake, or other types of simple cakes. When at home, you like snacking and your appetite increases, right? Therefore, the choice of making various types of cakes can be an activity that has two benefits, namely utilizing free time productively and also producing food stocks for us. Even though most of the results are not what we expected, we have had a lot of fun together because of the mutual cooperation process. We learned a lot and found out tricks and tips on how to test failure-safe recipes.
  • Sorting clothes that no longer fit anymore. Dress-sorting sessions are a really fun and enjoyable alternative. Unpacking the contents of the wardrobe, sorting out which clothes do not fit. Usually, when sorting through, scenes of haggling between brothers and sisters will appear. Actually this is one of the best moments to build bonds between siblings.
  • Facial skin care at home. The idea to do this facial treatment initially arose because the youngest who entered puberty had acne syndrome on his face. Imagine, a man who doesn't care about appearance but two sisters is the type of woman who really cares about appearance. Then the eldest daughter provoked her younger sister to buy anti-acne products, one of which was a face mask. It's so funny, every time I see a boy with a mask on his face. The atmosphere around us is getting more exciting. Hehehehe… ..
  • Redecorating a room or family room can be a choice of activities with children that are guaranteed to provide a lot of fun. Changing interior paint colors is one of the easiest and cheapest ways when compared to completely renovating the shape and layout or adding new furniture. Changing the color of the walls will bring a new dimension into the room, it offers a significant effect on your mood, feelings at home or even on your psychology.
  • Playing free online games. What is no less fun to reduce boredom at home is to playing online games that are very popular with children and adults. Every adult still has a childish side, and one thing that is presented by almost all ages is doing fun activities, even if only to accompany children.

I am sure there are many activities to reduce stress and to enjoy all the time at home, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic. The 7 Alternative Family Activities for Free Time at Home that I mentioned above are only part of it. Of course, there are still many other exciting and interesting activities that bring excitement to every family.

Playing online games with parents is one of the activities that we can enjoy. Especially nowadays getting many types of online games available, we only need to filter and choose the best educational games that are not addictive or choose games that can be played with the whole of family.


In simple terms, I think a good game will be the right game for how old you are. We just need to choose quality and useful games, do limit reasonable time online. Then let's look at the benefits of playing online games for kids, also for us as parents and adults.

Like or not, the digital era can't possibly separate children from playing online games, this is an integral part of the growth in the digital era. Parents should engage and spend time with children when they play online games. Although it could be that playing the game is against their nature. This is a wise way for parents who regularly engage with children's online activities to accompany them to minimize the effects of addiction and find out who their child is playing online with.

From that point of view, all activities can be beneficial and have a positive impact, as long as they are used wisely and apply a fairness standard (not excessive). By minimizing the negative effects of playing online games, hopefully we get good benefits from playing online games to fill our spare time, relieve stress / relax, enjoy quality time with family by playing online games?

  2. Game design that is easy to understand and play, fun and not addictive

 My opinion about Free Games at the plays.org 

Well, here is my opinion after I tried some free games from plays dot org. Currently there are more than 150 games available and every day a new game is published, at least 1 or 2 additional games. Accessing it is very easy, just by clicking on the "free games" on the top header, automatically linked to the new free games menu every day. 
We can also find a catalog of online game menus in the footer section of the plays.org site, there is a category - based navigation for the available game collections. No need to worry about how to use this game because in each type of game there are clear and easy instructions for playing it, including the strategy.
Free Game Catalog 

So far, I have tried some of the game menus available on the dot org game. One of them is TypeShift game. TypeShift has 50-level word spelling puzzle game where players move letter tiles up and down to spell a word.

TypeShift is like a puzzle game, so we are asked to arrange the available letters to form the right word, marked with a blue box. Although this game is actually for children, it is also suitable for those of us who want to enrich English vocabulary. 
Beside the TypeShift game, I also enjoy playing ball in the cup which is very fun for refreshing. And for those who want to motivate their children to love math, you can try the MATH GAMES category. 
This game for learning, which contains a variety of math-based games, can be a fun learning tool for teaching children about correct math concepts. With this game you can also avoid math fears from the start, helping children learn math naturally through fun play activities.

TypeShift of Free Games
Overall,
Plays.org is a great Free Games platform for kids, adults, and anyone who wants to spend more time on challenges. We can find many interesting free game items because this website has a very large variety of games, as well as various game categories to choose. 
For any one who still curious about other games on the platform plays.org, feel free to explore other games, and discover the beauty of playing online games designed for all ages and available for free.

Well, does anyone still curious about "What are the advantages of playing online games"? Or there are any request kind  game? No worry, just please comment or leave your feedback on that website. Who knows your dream of game online will come true ?
