  1. Create an indoor treasure hunt with your kids
    If your children are also stuck at home with you, playing outdoors will be a no-no. And that’s especially so if there are showers outside! One fun indoors activity you can involve them with is an indoor treasure hunt. You can devise a set of clues for them solve and find things like treats, toys, and movies.
  1. Have a yoga session
    If you’ve got the place to yourself, why not de-stress yourself with some yoga? The brilliant thing about yoga is that you can do it anywhere. All you need is some comfortable clothing and a yoga mat for the floor. Just make sure you’ve got some space to stretch out!
  1. Try your luck at roulette
    Are you a fan of casino games? If so, why don’t you have some fun playing online roulette? Sites like mariacasino.co.uk let you play from a computer or mobile device. Plus, it’s something you can do in bed if you’re not feeling too well, for instance.
  1. Bake some delicious treats
    When it’s cold and raining outside, you need a bit of cheering up. Now, you might think that chocolate is the answer here. Well, it is in a sense.Instead of eating some chocolates, why not bake something from scratch? Chocolate chip cookies are always a quick and fun treat to make. Plus, you can share them with others in your household too (or not, if you’re feeling greedy)!

  1. Have a DVD day
    Sometimes you just don’t know what to do with yourself if you’re stuck at home. One thing you could do is immerse yourself in all the movies you’ve been meaning to watch! Pick out a selection of DVDs from your video library and make a day of it!
  1. Build a robot
