Adapting to our new way of life hasn’t been easy. For some, it’s been impossible. So the US government came up with some Pandemic Approved Indoor Summer Activities.

  1. Sit by the window with a giant magnifying glass and pretend you’re getting a tan at the beach. Don’t forget the sunscreen! Melanoma is real!
  2. Fill the bathtub with fish and pretend you’re snorkeling in Hawaii. Aloha!
  3. Draw a person on the wall and play tennis with it as though it’s your opponent.
  4. Build a blanket fort and pretend to go spelunking.
  5. Paddle-board or surf in an indoor Kiddy Pool and pretend you’re on the set of Jaws! Who needs Universal Studios? Not You!
  6. Drill holes in random spots on the floor and play mini-golf. Don’t forget nailing down miniature fans. They make great windmill traps!
  7. Mute the TV, fill in for your favorite character’s voice, & have a conversation with yourself. Be careful not to talk to yourself about religion or politics!
  8. Put a fishtail on your hamster and pretend it’s a mermaid or dress it in a toga, and pretend you’re traveling back in time to ancient Rome.
