Activities to do while enjoying the weekend

Weekends – a time where we need to chill and relax. Yet, most people get bored and do not know what to do in their precious free time. After you’ve rested a bit, you crave for something interesting to do. Whether you want to stay at home or go out, there are plenty of activities that you can do to make the most of your weekends. Here are our top ten interesting ideas for you to do during the weekends.

Have a picnic

A picnic is a simple and enjoyable way to spend a weekend especially in late spring and the summer. You can pack some food and drinks, grab a blanket and a basket, and head to a park, a beach, or a backyard. And you get the best of it – fresh air, the scenery, and the company of your family or friends. You can also play some social games, read some books, make BBQ or listen to some music while you are enjoying the sun.

Walkin’

Yes, – walking! In an age where we use vehicles to get from one point to another, we sometimes forget to get exercise. And when we speak about exercise, walking is the best one. It won’t get you super tired, it is good for your health and your mood. Additionally, it can help you burn some calories, improve your circulation, and reduce your stress. Where you walk it all depends on you – walk in your neighbourhood, in the park, or around in your home city. You can admire the beauty of nature, the architecture, or the people. You can also use the time to reflect, meditate, or chat with your walking partner.

Plan a hike

If you need some more extra burning activities, you can always take the next step – hiking. It is challenging but so rewarding especially during the weekend. Hiking is a great way to exercise, breathe some fresh air, and see some amazing views. You can also gear up for hiking with special equipment depending on your level of fitness, your interest, and your location. And, you can always bring some healthy snacks and water so you feel fed and hydrated with you and your dog (pets). Also, don’t forget to take some pictures and enjoy the adventure (making memories is always extra good when you have a memento from them!).

Go to the library

The library is a treasure trove of knowledge, entertainment, inspiration and history. Yes, the internet offers all of that plus more, but the exploration and the history of these books can add a different level to your intellectual evolution. Going through old magazines and newspapers can make you relive the past of your parents. Books and other materials that are not so known, can become familiar to you and help you unlock another philosophical point-of-view. Also you can borrow some items and take them home for free. 

Cleaning the home

Cleaning the house may not sound like a fun activity, but it can be liberating if you have old stuff that needs to be sorted out. You can open more space in your home, discover a forgotten memory and a trinket that can really make you weekend full. Do not forget to reward yourself with some treats, such as ice cream, pizza, or a movie, after you are done. Cleaning your house will make your home more comfortable, organised, and inviting.

Make a plan for the next upcoming holiday

While we talked on how to avoid going broke on your holiday before, now it is time on how to plan it. Planning your next adventure can be exciting and fun. You can make a plan for the next upcoming holiday, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or your next trip. You can decide what you want to do, where you want to go, and who you want to invite. Also, you can start preparations, such as buying or making some decorations, gifts, or buying a new swimsuit! Planning for a holiday can give you something to look forward to and to work towards.

Play games on the phone/tablet

Playing games on the phone/tablet is a fun and easy way to pass the time and have some fun. You can play games that you like, whether they are puzzles, strategy, action, or trivia games.

Go bowling or participate in another group activity

Bowling is a fun and social activity that you can do with your family or friends. You can rent some shoes and a lane, and try to knock down as many pins as you can. Furthermore you can keep score, cheer each other, or tease each other – and make the loser buy lunch/dinner. Bowling can improve your coordination, balance, and strength. It can also foster your teamwork, friendship, and sportsmanship.
