5 Indoor Bonding Activities to Do with the Family

These days, we spend most of our time indoors due to the pandemic and the cold. For this reason, many people wonder what they can do with their time while trying to bond with other family members.

You do not need complicated or expensive plans for your family to have fun and reconnect. With just a little imagination, everyone can have a good time working on building a strong family relationship.

The child’s most important relationship is the one with their parents. It allows them to express themselves and feel important. Parents are the ones who teach the child basic manners, problem-solving skills, and how to act towards other people. So, spending time with your children and nourishing a good parent-child relationship is crucial.

Getting out of your daily routine and relaxing a bit together will help you strengthen your bond and feel good. In the following article, we have put together a small list of our five best tips on fun activities you can do with your loved ones at home.

Puzzles are one of the classic activities

For those who want to find playful activities to do with the whole family, putting together jigsaw puzzles is a great tip. You can choose to put together exciting jigsaw puzzles for adults, and there are also a great variety of puzzles with different themes and motifs for children.

It is one of the classic home pastimes that is popular with all ages. Not only is it a fantastic way of spending time together, but it also teaches your children to think and create.

Solving jigsaw puzzles is an activity that we all benefit from, big or small. It keeps the brains of adults healthy, and children practice fine motor and problem-solving skills. Memory and hand-eye coordination are also practiced when children assemble puzzles.

You do not have to search online for very long to find research reports proving that activities such as crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, and the like are good for our mental health.

Spend Quality Time in the Kitchen


Trying out new recipes and preparing exciting dishes or baking something delicious for a cozy Sunday afternoon is an excellent activity for the whole family.

If your child goes to school, this is a perfect opportunity to practice all the different measurements and conversions we use when baking and cooking. Tablespoons, cups, and conversions from deciliters to grams are just terms and tools that help us reinforce our mathematical skills.

When baking and cooking, the child also learns about different ingredients and how things are cooked. The result is something that the whole family can then enjoy at the kitchen table.

If you want to make the cooking project even more fun, you can take photos of what you are preparing and the finished result. Together you can then make your very own cookbook! This is a unique way to create memories and bond with your family.

Paint a Mandala Together


The word mandala comes from Sanskrit, and it signifies a “perfect circle.” Mandalas are symbolic spiritual forms used in Hinduism and Buddhism. They consist of a set of figures and concentric geometric shapes that symbolize the universe.

Their main goal is to promote calm, reflection, and concentration of energy. Therefore, there are so many positive benefits of painting mandalas for both adults and children.

It is not only fun to paint a mandala, but also it can be very relaxing. All you need is to print some mandalas (you can download and print them from the internet) and bring out different colored pencils or crayons.

The whole family can then sit at the table and spend a few hours coloring and getting creative. This also creates an opportunity to talk to each other while being entertained.

Exercise or Do a Sport Together

Even if you are indoors, the whole family can set aside a certain amount of time during the day for physical activity. It not only helps to compensate for not moving as much but it can also help keep the mood up.

You can find an infinite amount of content on the internet, where fitness, athletes, and specialists offer interesting training videos. There are exercises for both beginners and those that consider themselves experts.

Aerobics, Zumba, cardio exercises, yoga and training with weights, etc., are all activities that can be done at home or in a group. Try new forms of exercise together, encourage each other, and have fun while doing it.

Do one of these family bonding activities for an emergency dose of connection. You’ll reset the collective mood and immediately reconnect as a family!Click To Tweet

Decorate the Balcony or Patio and Use it as a Place for Activities

Do not underestimate the balcony or patio, if you have one. Such places are not always used as much as they should, but they can be a great place to spend quality time.

You can get fresh air and sun, and also, it will be the little change you need from staying indoors.

Here you can, for example, take the opportunity and decorate the balcony or patio together with the entire family. Furnish, display things you want there, buy flowers and place them, and don’t forget to decorate with textiles. With the help of, for example, chair cushions, pillows, and blankets, you can make it a very cozy place where you can spend more time together.

If no makeover is needed, there are, of course, many other things you can do on the balcony or patio. Why not have lunch there, or plan a little picnic get-together? You can also sit there, talk and play, do crafts or draw.

Final Thoughts

Having time for each other is an essential aspect of a fulfilling life. Children feel safe when they get to spend more time with their parents and do things together.

For family members not to get used to doing things separately, it is vital to plan small but valuable experiences together. This does not have to mean long, expensive trips. It is enough to do something fun together at home on the weekends or one evening a week, which ultimately ends up being a precious memory for life.

With the abovementioned ideas, we are sure that the time you spend together laughing and talking will make your family grow closer and stronger.
