The weather is warming up which means that it is finally time to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

Group activities like bonfires with friends and pool parties aren’t an option right now but students can still find ways to enjoy the outdoors and take a break from online schooling.

Read a book outside

Students probably have more time on their hands now, so it’s the perfect time to read a book or two. Cozy up on a porch swing, under a tree or in a lawn chair and discover a new favorite.

Evening stroll

Taking a walk around the neighborhood is a good way to get some fresh air and exercise while practicing social distancing. Whether it’s bright and early in the morning or after dinner, a leisurely stroll can help students destress and get their muscles moving.

Picnic

Make a nice lunch, turn on some music, grab a pair of sunglasses and eat in the backyard. Picnics are common in movies but rarely seen in real life; choosing to eat lunch outside for a change can help students relax and feel refreshed.

Bike or roller skate

Look through the garage and find the old bicycle, roller skates, skateboard or razor scooter that hasn’t seen the light of day in years. This is another great way for students to move their muscles and get some exercise in between classwork.

Wash the car

This one might not sound like fun, but it’s a good multitasking activity. Students can get a little bit of fresh air and feel productive by cleaning up their car. If students want to feel really productive, they can vacuum out their cars too.

Walk the dog

Dogs might be happy because their human friends are home more, but they need to stretch their muscles too. Students can combine walking their dog with biking or roller skating and get even more exercise and fun.
