The Coronavirus pandemic has caused us all to adapt and find creative new ways to spend quality time together. And unfortunately, Mother’s Day is no exception. That’s why we’re sharing 10 unique activity ideas for celebrating the important woman (or women) in your life. These suggestions allow you to spend quality time together whether you’re in the same household or at a distance for safety.
1. Share a lovely meal Even though we can’t go out to restaurants right now, you can still share a special meal with the special woman in your life. You could find a recipe online and make their favourite meal if you live with them or drop it off if you live near them. Then, on Mother’s Day, you could eat together virtually via video call or on the phone together.
2. Say hello from a distance If you live in the same area, a fun thing to do is to make some big Mother’s Day signs or giant cards and make a festive, but “distanced,” visit their house. Stand on their sidewalk, outside their closed window, or in the yard and display your lovely, festive signs. You could call them from your mobile phone to speak with them or simply speak loudly through the window glass.
3. Enjoy nature together Getting some fresh air feels especially refreshing right now. Sit together on the porch or in front of an open window and just enjoy nature together. If you’re not in the same household, do this virtually via video call or telephone.
4. Attend a virtual concert or show Another experience you could enjoy together is to attend a virtual concert. Many musicians, orchestras, and broadway musicals are making shows available online for free.
5. Tour a museum, virtually Art lovers may enjoy visiting a museum. This year, you can visit museums around the world and even hop from one museum to another. 6. Relax with casual activities Another relaxing way to spend time together, virtually or in person, is to watch a favourite movie or TV show. You could also do a jigsaw puzzle, sudoku, or crossword puzzle together. If you’re not in the same household, it doesn’t have to be the same puzzle. The goal is to enjoy an activity together.
7. Create a custom photo album
If you are crafty, you can attempt a handmade photo album, you can showcase special photos or events so your mom can reminisce anytime.
8. Bake or cook together If you’re in the same household, you could bake cookies or cook a favourite dish together. Depending on their abilities and interests, they could work side-by-side with you, prep a few simple ingredients, or observe and be your taste tester.
9. Relax with music Another activity that can be enjoyed in person together or via video call or telephone is to listen to music together. If you both play the same song, you can sing along together or even dance it out!
10. Read a book together Whether in person or on a call, you can read aloud from a book of their choice. You can download a variety of books online or revisit a very special book from your personal library.
Whatever you do, chances are Mom is going to love it! Have fun and we wish all Moms a Happy Mother's Day!
