5 Fun Indoor activities for A Rainy Day

It is very frustrating to wake up on a weekend and realise that all your plans with your friends have gone down the drain with heavy showers of rain. But few realise how well you can utilise this time. With work, school, and the generally hectic life in Dhaka city, it is difficult to give your family some time. Why not use the rainy days to bring yourselves closer to each other and strengthen that family bond with these fun activities? 

1.
Have kids in the house? You can make a treasure hunt for your little ones to keep busy. This not only enhances their searching skills but is also a great way to have some quality family fun. 

2.
Make your own bubble bath. For man, woman or child a bubble bath is the perfect way to relax and ease your body and mind. This can not only fix your mood that was ruined by the rain, but also keep you in peace and harmony for the rest of your day. 

3.
Create a family recipe book. There are many families who have secret recipes. Sometimes these recipes become a strong piece of their heritage. Compiling your grandmother's amazing pickle recipe, with your mother's sweet 'korma' recipe, and more, is a fantastic way to not only connect together the chefs in everyone but can turn into a fun 'adda' full of flavours of reminiscence. 

4.
Invent a game. There are so many word games out there already. You can tweak it your own way and make a whole family game yourself. Out of ideas? How about a story that is made up of lines from everyone? For example you start with 'Once upon a time', and the next person say 'there was a kingdom in a far away land', and so on.

5.
Bake! There is no better way to spend an idle evening, afternoon or any time of day! Baking can not only keep you busy with all the sugar, flour, this and that, it gives you an opportunity to make something special for your family. Cookies, brownies, or even soufflé, get your oven mitts on and make your own wonders! 

So here you have it. With these five tips, a whole day of rain can pass by without it affecting your mood at all. Gather your family members and make sunshine indoors, even if it's dull and pouring outside.
