These days when there's so much time to pass, you might get tired of watching the same movies or TV shows over and over again.
There are some good ways to pass the time. Brynn Marr Hospital in Jacksonville sent us 20 different family activities to help pass the time during this pandemic.
Tatianna Brooks-Johnson says parents can enjoy these with their families, while practicing social distancing.
1.) Create a vision board. Use magazines and celebrate various celebrations such as vacations or birthdays.
2.) Write heartfelt letters to your family or friends (pen and paper). Your children will be excited to get mail in return.
3.) Email an old friend you've been meaning to re-connect with. This helps teach your child how to write a formal letter too.
4.) Read a great book!
5.) Listen to an audio book
6.) The floor is lava -- start on one side of the house and use pillows or rugs to get from one part to another without touching the floor.
7.) Dance!
8.) Kids yoga
9.) Put on a play or skit
10.) Create a poster or magazine cover
11.) Write a poem or story
