Hello everyone, and welcome to the last post of this week. I don’t have many friends, but what I will mention below doesn’t require you that many friends. I’m going to share self-development and something different. Let’s see what you can do and what fun things to do at home with friends. And there is a good part of this that I will mention below.

I’ve always wanted ideas for to do lists when inviting friends or even when my cousins come to visit. Well, these ideas from my mind and what we did.

Maybe you haven’t seen them on the internet before. Because when I was looking, I couldn’t find them and these are fun activities. You will have a great time with your friends.

Fun things to do at home with friends

Before sharing the ideas, how about I discuss some important things about the list and this post? It will help you with choosing ideas. Something about me is that I like to explain at least a little bit about what I write. So, stick with me, and hopefully, you will find everything interesting in the end. And share the good part I mentioned earlier.

I’m sure we have all been in situations where we are looking for fun things to do with friends. And that is normal. Looking on the internet, you would find reading a book, a scavenger hunt with friends, solving a puzzle, and watching a movie can be on the list. But that’s not what I will mention in this post. You can do these with your friends, but I’ve got something different.

Q: Is the list below for everyone or specific friends?

A: You can do them with any, but they should be interested in them. This can be done with family as well. And it can be fun and great memories as well. So, as long as they are interested in making a list below. I’m sure they would be interested in one, at least.

Life learned lessons: change my life for the better

Something you should know is that you need to know the best time for doing it, whether it’s night or day. When you are bored, it does not mean that you can’t do anything.

Please talk with your friends and see which one they like to do. The good part of this is the variety of it. Some of them can help you to get creative and not just fun things.

What can you get from the Fun things to do at home with friends

  • Get creative with your friends.
  • Have great memories to remember
  • Enjoy a good laugh with each other
  • Learn something new together

There are many things to do at home with your friends. Spend time with everyone but also get something, whether it’s a fun moment or put together something to remember in the future.

I just mentioned some of the good things you can get from doing what is on the list below with your friends. But you can get more when doing other things.

Everyone is interested in something, and you must prepare a long list of stuff today. I’m going to start with five things for now. If you want to host a party, that would also be good.

Let me know what you think of the Fun things to do at home with friends below. And have you done any of them with your friends or family?

1-Dance challenge together

I’m going to start with one of my favorite things to do with my partner. Although we are still a long distance, I love doing this. Which is a dance challenge, and we use the dance app to see the score.

We start a dance using the app and connect it to our laptops to dance. Maybe one of you has already done it before.

If you have friends coming over, this can be a fun idea to do with them. Not just any dance like at the party. But it’s challenging each other to see who will do better.

You don’t need to spend money, but each person gets three daily attempts. My partner and I used “Just dance now,” but I’m sure there are many options on the internet.

Q: How can this be one of the Fun things to do at home with friends?

  • You will have a great time with your friends dancing.
  • It will be fun while dancing.
  • Great memories to remember
  • Develop new skills for dancing as well and maybe a passion for it

Even when friends aren’t dancers, this should be fun because you don’t have to perform like a pro dancer. The point of it is just having fun with friends.

One of the fun things to do at home with friends. So, no need to make it difficult for you to dance. Start the app connect it and enjoy your time dancing.

2-Share and talk with each other about favorite things

While thinking of doing too much with your friends, you will enjoy just talking with each other and sharing favorites and something about each other. Why not spend time getting to know both for a little bit? No need to get crazy all the time and party from the start to the last minute. This is something I love doing with my cousins as well.

Q: How to not make it boring talking about each other and sharing favorite things?

A: This is a good question, and it depends on what you are talking about. Try adding funny moments and stuff. Not just the favorite things. Humor while sharing is good. Maybe make hot drinks since it’s winter and enjoy sipping something while talking. Make the environment better for it.

Can social media cause anxiety, ways to deal with it?

This is one of the fun things to do. You can do this even with your long-distance BFF. While chatting on the video call, you can get to know each other. It might seem boring to some people. But it’s enjoyable, and my partner and I always love to do this from time to time. Also, it can be more fun to do this outside in your garden.

3-Play with friends geography guess game

Next, we tried something for the first time, and we loved it. I discovered this from a stream I watched. And I thought to try it, and it was so much fun.

If we weren’t forced to stop, I think we would do it all day. You might’ve tried it before as well. Which is playing guess the place. Using the famous app “Geoguessr” is what we used.

It’s fun and easy, and each person gets a turn to guess a place based on some pictures. You can also use the map to move around.

This is one of the fun activities, even for family. But it doesn’t end there because you will learn a lot about places and the world. So, why not spend time with your friends to enjoy and learn something new?

Even with your partner is so much fun. It doesn’t matter what person you do this to as long as the other person is willing to play.

No need for skills or talents because it’s just for fun. Some people might not do it because they don’t know. Remind your friends about this, and they can try it.

4-Practice new hobbies together

There are so many hobbies and fun things to do. What better thing to do at home than practicing a new hobby? Both of you decide on something to do and try it.

Doing it for the first time can be fun, and getting creative as well. So, why not ask your friends about what they want to try and you can enjoy a good time doing it together.

This is also something friends won’t do because they think skills or talents are required. But I said practice which means no need for any of that.

The main goal of doing these things is just for fun and to learn new things. Who knows? You might both develop a passion for it and try to practice and learn more about how to do it, which can be interesting.

5-Watch funny videos on social media together.

Spending time together doing something can be a great memory with friends, including doing this. Having some time to relax and sharing videos are good ideas as well.

The best time to do this is later in the day. You can share funny videos on social media when you have done everything but have more hours to burn together.

Whether being at home together or long distance friends. Watch something funny to laugh together if you want to take a break in the middle of the day.

You don’t need to make it boring without doing anything. So, this would be good during the break to keep doing things together and creating beautiful memories.

Cook a meal together

Cooking a meal together is an enjoyable and rewarding experience that can be shared with friends. It’s a great way to bond, learn new skills, and create delicious food.

To make the most of this experience, it’s important to choose a simple recipe that everyone can help with. This will ensure that everyone can participate and feel involved in the cooking process.

Once you’ve chosen a recipe, set up a cooking station in advance with all the necessary ingredients and utensils. This will help to streamline the cooking process and prevent any unnecessary delays.

Assign different tasks to each person, such as chopping vegetables, measuring ingredients, or stirring the pot. This will help to keep everyone engaged and involved in the cooking process.

As you’re cooking, enjoy the process and each other’s company. Cooking together is a great way to relax and have some fun. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the experience.

Once the meal is cooked, sit down and savor the delicious food you’ve created together. This is a great time to relax and chat with your friends. Cooking a meal together is a great way to spend time with friends and create lasting memories.

Get creative

Getting creative with your friends is a great way to express yourself, bond, and have some fun. There are many different ways to get creative, and the best part is that you don’t need any special skills or materials. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

– Make a vision board.

This is a great way to visualize your goals and dreams. All you need is a poster board, some magazines, and some glue. Cut out pictures and words that represent what you want to achieve.

And then arrange them on the poster board. You can make a vision board for anything, from your career to your personal life.

– Paint or draw.

Painting and drawing are both great ways to express yourself creatively. If you’re not sure what to paint or draw, try looking at some art books or online galleries for inspiration.

You can also use your own life as inspiration. Paint or draw something that represents your feelings, your experiences, or your dreams.

– Write a story or poem.

Writing is a great way to express your thoughts and feelings. If you’re not sure what to write about, try writing about something that’s happened to you recently. You can also write about your dreams, your fears, or your hopes.

– Play an instrument or sing.

Music is a powerful way to express yourself creatively. If you play an instrument, invite your friends over for a jam session. If you don’t play an instrument, you can always sing. Sing your favorite songs, or make up your own.

– Do some DIY projects.

DIY projects are a great way to get creative and make something useful. There are many different DIY projects that you can do, from simple crafts to more complex home improvement projects. Choose a project that’s right for your skill level and interests, and then get started!

Getting creative with your friends is a great way to have some fun, bond, and express yourself. So next time you’re looking for something to do, don’t be afraid to get creative!

Play board games or card games

Board games and card games are a great way to enjoy some friendly competition and have a lot of fun at home with friends. With so many different games to choose from, there’s sure to be something for everyone.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing game of Scrabble or a more challenging game of Monopoly, you’re sure to find a game that you and your friends will enjoy.

When choosing games to play with friends, it’s important to keep everyone’s skill level and interests in mind. If you’re playing with a group of friends who are new to board games, it’s a good idea to choose a game that is easy to learn and play. As your friends become more experienced, you can start to introduce more complex games.

In addition to choosing the right games, it’s also important to create a fun and inviting atmosphere for your game night. Make sure you have comfortable seating and plenty of snacks and drinks on hand. You can also set the mood by playing some music or lighting some candles.

With a little planning and creativity, you can have a blast playing board games or card games with friends at home. So next time you’re looking for a fun way to spend an evening, gather your friends and get ready for some friendly competition!

Have a movie marathon

One of the best ways to enjoy a night in with friends is to have a movie marathon. With a little planning, you can create a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

First, choose a theme for your marathon. This could be anything from a specific genre of film to a particular director or actor. Once you have a theme in mind, you can start selecting movies that fit the criteria. Make sure to choose a variety of movies so that there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Next, set up a comfortable viewing area. This could be your living room, a den, or even a backyard patio. Make sure there is plenty of seating and that everyone has a good view of the screen.

You may also want to put out some snacks and drinks to keep everyone energized throughout the marathon.

As you watch each movie, encourage your friends to discuss it and share their thoughts. This can lead to some great conversations and make the experience even more enjoyable.

You may also want to keep a journal of the movies you watch and your thoughts on them. This can be a fun way to look back on your marathon and remember all the great times you had.

Finally, don’t forget to have fun! A movie marathon is a great way to relax and spend time with friends. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show.
