As we are all being told to stay inside to protect ourselves and our loved ones from Covid 19 I’m sure you are looking for things to do to keep from going crazy. I’m right there with ya. So I decided to put together the ultimate and living list of things to do during your quarantine. I’ll be adding to this list as I find more activities. So be sure to check back for new additions.

Garth Brooks has announced that he will play a concert on his weekly “Inside Studio G” Facebook series on Monday (March 23) at 7 p.m. ET. The show will be just Brooks and a guitar (and possibly wife Trisha Yearwood) taking requests for up to an hour.
Netflix Party
Watch Netflix with your friends with this Chrome Extension that synchronizes what you are watching and lets you chat with your friends during the show or movie.
Play Video Games with Friends
Video games aren’t just for your kids. Kick them off of Fortnite for a bit so that you can play games with your friends. You need socialization just as much as your kids. Jump online and play a round of video games with your buddies. Act like a kid again and enjoy your free time.
Teleconferencing with friends and community
Set up Zoom, Facebook or Skype chats with your friends and community. I’m seeing people from a lot of my communities including church, school and meditation groups get together with online chats. This is a great way to keep from being socially isolated. Keep your friends and loved ones close, but not too close during this time.
Keep checking back to more updates. I’ll keep adding more ideas as I see them. Stay well my friends!
As a mom who homeschools on a regular basis, I hope these organizations continue these great offers throughout the year.
Thank you so very much for these amazing tips. I can’t wait to try a few of them.
Thanks for putting these together! I’m so glad there are lots of organizations/places working on providing these things while we’re under shelter in place/self-quarantining!
I love the idea of virtual field trips. What a neat idea! We will be utilizing this post a lot over the next weeks. Thank you!
We have been participating in the different virtual field trips and live streams provided by museums and libraries. We are regular homeschoolers and never used a “screen” this much, but it is a nice change to our day!
These are great suggestions. I never thought about taking a tour virtually…you have me thinking about using an app with our virtual reality glasses. Thanks for the inspiration! 👓🚢🍕
Really interesiting list. I didn’t know we could do some of these. I really enjoy seeing all the online community and friends bringing forth resources for parents.
Great resource list! I have a list on my blog as well, and a few of these are on my list too. Great minds think alike! I love love love the virtual field trips.

Awesome list and several great ideas. We’ve been having a blast watching family movies in our backyard with an outdoor projector and screen. Costs less than you think and provides hours of family fun!
