You have just spent the whole week working and now its time to have some fun on the weekend. You make plans, dress up and the moment you step outside, you feel that chilling wind cutting you down to the bone.
Cold and rainy weather can be a real drag when you want to just go outside and live your life. Fortunately time spent by yourself or with friends and family can easily be done at the comfort of your own home. Stay warm and stay happy!
Below is a list of 5 fun activities you can do along with some suggestions:
Board game
Good old board games!
Who could ever forget the old past times of enjoying a fun board game all within the comfort of your home. Preferable with a group of others, you can enjoy the thrill and satisfaction of besting your peers. How about the Game Of Life? Where the goal is have the most assets to win. Or perhaps the infamous game of Monopoly? Sure to ensure headaches and frustration.
- Monopoly
- Cluedo
- Pictionary
- Trivial Pursuit.
Video games
Age doesn’t matter when it comes to video games.
Young or old there are video games for everyone. Hop into any store and you can find a vast array of games of all different genres. Want to spend some alone time? Grab yourself an immersive single player game like Zelda Breath of the Wild, where you travel and hunt how ever you please. Looking for a multiplayer experience? Try out Crash Team Racing and race your friends for the 1st place cup. There are so many games to be played either on PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch.

Movie Night
Who doesn’t love a good movie?
Grab your pillows, popcorn and blankets because a movie night is the perfect idea for bad weather. Suitable for yourself or with a group of people (Just make sure there’s enough food for everyone to enjoy). For younger audiences, there’s a wide plethora of Disney and Marvel film. For a mature audience any film will do such as comedies or dramas. I myself am personally a fan of the Harry Potter film series.
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Avengers
- Forrest Gump
- Toy Story
Read a book
Immersive, entertaining and at your own pace.
A nice book is always handy when you want some time away from technology. Just picture it; a nice mug of hot coffee or tea, a comfy chair, suitable lightning and one amazing novel to read. Fancy some fantasy? Try reading The Dragon Republic by R. F. Kuang. Wanting some slice of life fiction? Try City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert.
- To Kill a Mocking Bird
- The Fault in Our Stars
- The Cellar
- Things Fall Apart
Dinner
Why go out when you can save money by cooking yourself.
Cooking dinner especially with a new recipe can be a fun and exciting experience. Whether alone or with co chef to help you out, you can create truly delicious and beautiful dishes. Make it more fun by inviting others over to share, then make a night of it with fun activities planned. Its that easy, just google up any old recipe and you are good to go!
- Mustard stuffed chicken
- Pavlova dessert

There’s lots to do indoors by yourself or with others. Make it fun, exciting and most of all; comfortable to how you feel best.
