There are so many activities that you can do with your family or friends, each one unique and special.

So whether you’re a true homebody or someone who is taking your summer plans one day at a time (hey, maybe you’re both), here is a list of 5 things you can do to unwind in our shortlet apartments. 

Paint and sip

This is a great way to relax and spend some quality time with friends. This creates a buzzing but peaceful atmosphere, where glasses of wine are accompanied by paint brushes, canvas, and reference picture all coming together in perfect harmony. It gives off relaxed vibes where you can have a heart-to-heart ‘gist’, catch up on each other or just enjoy the moment in silence while enjoying artwork created by yourself!

Movie marathon

There’s no better way to enjoy a day or night in than with a fun movie. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, having a rainy day, or just looking for a way to relax and soak in every moment before you go back to your regular schedule, a movie marathon is the perfect opportunity! No matter what mood you’re in there will be something out there that appeals to everyone so it can make for an enjoyable evening of laughter, tears or simply watching how creative storytellers display their craft onscreen. Gather some popcorn and family members or friends and experience those special moments together.

Play childhood games

What’s a better way to spend your time than to take a trip down memory lane? Playing childhood games with your buddies is a great way to bond and have fun when everyone in the group is bored. Whether it’s playing hide and seek, or alphabet games,  it’s easy to get everyone involved since most people already know how these types of game work so well. Not only are you able to reconnect with childhood memories and have a good laugh out loud together but it also helps remind us all that our friends/family are precious regardless of age! Playing these games come in handy for any group wanting an outlet for entertainment and joy.

Lip sync/Karaoke battle

Your favorite artist, your favorite song, and your perfectly lit stage. Blow everyone  away a with a captivating display of that ‘shower time’ voice and channel your inner Beyoncé or Michael Jackson. This activity can be a funny and engaging activity for friends and family. It’s quite simple, each of the participants takes turn to perform, imitate or lip sync songs and whoever does that best wins.

Charades

Charades remain one of the best games to play with company because it is challenging, fun and guaranteed to generate some laughs. It’s is a game of pantomimes: you have to “act out” a phrase without speaking, while the other members of your team try to guess what the phrase is. The objective is for your team to guess the phrase as quickly as possible.To play charades, split the group into several teams of between 2 to 4 players per team.

HOW TO PLAY:

• One player from one of the teams is chosen to start. That player thinks of a famous person, movie title, saying, song title, or book title and writes it on a piece of paper.

• They must then give their team clues to help them guess the name of whatever they are thinking of.

•  Teams have 60 seconds to guess the phrase or word that their teammate is thinking of.  

• They get one point if they successfully guess the answer. The next team then gets a turn. The first team to reach an arbitrary number of points wins the game.

The best and most effective way to bond is to host activities that will help everyone relax and enjoy themselves. Whether it’s watching a movie or playing games, these fun activities can be the perfect opportunity for quality time. These activities are more than just spending time together; they are about building memories and creating lasting bonds between your loved ones.
