Families For Life | Indoor family activities for rainy days
Singapore is known for its sunny weather, but when the skies open up, it's time to close the windows and get creative inside. We've got you covered (like an umbrella) with some fun activities that'll keep your family entertained indoors no matter what the weather is doing outdoors. Let's go!
“Make” It Fun
Can’t make plans because it’s raining? Make something at home together as a family with these activities, which will give your kids a creative boost while boosting the fun factor indoors!
Build A Fort - Not with bricks, but with pillows, towels, blankets, and chairs to create a cosy place to play games, read, or relax together.
Get Crafty - Unleash your children’s creativity by painting or crafting together (possibly in the fort you just built). You can also save the earth by upcycling household items for your arts and crafts projects.
Game On!
Who says staying indoors can’t be fun when it’s pouring outside? In fact, it can be even more so when you bring out the games and play together as a family. Here’s how you can instantly transform your home into a place of entertainment!
Plug Out - There’s nothing like the laughs (and sometimes silly arguments) accompanying board and card when the family is bored. From Monopoly to Clue and even Scrabble, introduce the classics to the kids, and they might introduce you to some new Trading Card Games like Pokémon!
Plug In - With a maximum of four controllers on a PlayStation and a whopping eight on a Nintendo Switch, video games are not just fun but accessible for the whole family. You don’t need to go outdoors to play football or tennis. You can have a game or ten in the living room and even sweat it out together with motion controllers. For starters, try out our very own Bunny Town Adventures!
Chill Out, In
From streaming services to a good book or even a home spa experience, stay-home weather is a great excuse for the whole family to indulge in some well-deserved relaxation time.
Binge-Watch Something - From Netflix To Disney+, there are literally hundreds of movies and series to watch together at home. So transform your home into a cinema by preparing some healthy (or not so healthy) snacks and cosy up to some relaxing all-day entertainment.
Have a Spa-cial Time - Bring out all the face masks you bought from your trip to Korea, prepare your very own foot soak, and if you have daughters, you can have a nail painting session together, too.
Read A Good Book – Watch your four walls disappear when you cosy up to good books together. Reading not only boosts your family’s vocabulary, language skills and comprehension, but it also opens up new worlds in your minds through imagination, bringing your family further than you would have gone outside if it was sunny.
Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and spend quality time together as a family. With a little creativity and imagination, you can turn any rainy day into a memorable one.
