With the current economic situation, going on vacation this summer seems impossible for some people. Who says summer has to be boring because you can’t afford to travel? There are fun activities you can engage in to keep boredom at bay. Here’s a list of activities.
Movie Night
You can transform your living room into a theatre with a projector, a white sheet or screen, and a selection of your favourite movies. You can decide to take it up a notch by taking it outdoors to your backyard. Don’t forget the popcorn and snacks for the full cinema experience.
DIY Water Park
Slip ‘n slide but this time at your house. This is a great way to keep cool and entertained. Be careful while doing this because there might be a few head bumps and falls.
Picnic in the Park
Having a picnic is one of the most pocket-friendly fun things to do. With a mat, a basket of food, and a sound system, you are good to go. Find the nearest park and enjoy some quality time with food and games while the summer breeze blows on your skin.
Cooking Challenge
Channel your inner Hilda Baci by hosting a cooking challenge with friends or family. Pick a theme or a set of ingredients and see who can create the most delicious dish. It’s a fun way to experiment in the kitchen and enjoy some tasty results.
Host a Fun Quiz
Invite your friends to come learn and have a good laugh by hosting a quiz night. You can add some refreshments to the mix to make it more entertaining. These can serve as rewards for getting the questions right. If you are worried about the cost of catering, you can make it a potluck. For some inspiration, go on social media. There are tonnes of such videos there.
Capture Away
Whip out your camera or smartphone and capture every bit of summer. The more spontaneous, the more exciting and memorable it would be. On your way to work, going to the beach, or paying for stuff at a store, every image captured will make for great memories when summer is over. Capturing moments could even get better when you get rewarded for simply doing what you enjoy. This summer share your activities on your social media clearly showing you making payments with a UBA card using the hashtag #UBASummerMemories and you could be on your way to an exclusive weekend staycation at a luxury resort.
