News: Living Better During COVID - Activity Guide Part Four - Entertainment

What do having fun and staying healthy have in common?  A lot more than you might think.  Laughing with friends and family, throwing a ball for the dog, watching your favorite TV show, or reading a book might be called “leisure activities” but the health benefits associated with some good old-fashioned fun are nothing short of incredible. 

 Therefore, we are offering you some entertainment options – a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  Go for it!

 Now if you are just looking for yourself, something new to explore, something out of this world try the Adler Planetarium. They have a Skywatch Weekly (new every Wednesday) and it is fascinating; learning can be entertaining!

 If out of this world is not your thing, you can try staying on the ground and watch the livecams from Explore.org.  They have 65 camera streams allowing you to experience nature up close.

 How about a family Zoom cooking class?  The recipe can be sent to everyone, groceries get purchased and the family member in charge of the class can talk everyone through the recipe, so each house makes their own food. It is a wonderful interaction of cooking, learning, laughter and of course eating.  Wonderful camaraderie among family and friends.

 Miss going to that favorite Pub.  Try a Zoom Pub Crawl in your own home.    Each room can have a different décor and drink to compliment!
