Welcome to the land of chaos! Somehow us kids have to get through it

You have entered the land of chaos! So, because most of us are stuck inside, or all of us in some places, this is totally different from our usual. The complete opposite of the schedules we used to follow. Many of us are struggling to find ways to keep ourselves busy. So am I. Not many of us have come up with a routine, and if you have then congrats! You’ve found a way to make use of all this time. Now your job is to help others who live with you to do so.

I’d say about 20% have come up with routines, 30% have started making a routine but haven’t finished (like me, hee hee hee), and 50% that haven’t started making a routine or just haven’t tried yet. There is a possibility that my estimates are wrong. I may not have a full routine but I have the start of one. I basically start my day how I would normally start my day for school, but instead of going to school, I go to my room and just do my own thing. I draw, listen to music or do crafts. I would love to do more reading, but I only have one or two more books that I haven’t read yet.

I am currently working on a project that I think is a good use of my time. I can probably improve my “routine” by doing a variety of different things. During the week, we don’t really get to spend much time together as a family because both my parents are usually working. On some occasions, my parents have to work during the weekends so we don’t get much time to play things like board games, or cards.

We usually call family when we get the chance. Not being able to go and see family at their house or having them come over when they usually would, is one of the many changes that affect close families. You probably have your friend’s contacts so call them whenever you want. It is the only way to talk to them right now.

At home there are many games you can play alone or with a family member. Games like: Solitaire, Jenga, Chain Solitaire, March Same Rank, Napoleon at St.Helena, Devil’s Grip, Klondike, Spider Solitaire, Beleaguered Castle, Seahaven Towers, and Pyramid/Pile of 28 are one player card games. If you aren’t a fan of any of those games there are other games you can play that don’t require a device.

If you want play the funniest games, family games, family reunion games, games for family game night, or game ideas for game night then press on one of the choices that I just listed and you will be brought to a site filled with fun games to do with family and friends. Hope you all have fun and enjoy playing games together! We have to get through this, and why not have fun doing it.
