Activity 1: LET’S DANCE

Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. I know that you are already bored at home. But hey, break
the ice by dancing to the music of your choice. You want Budots or TikTok? Let all the family
members take turn in dancing your hearts away. With this activity, you will not only forget the
boredom you experienced the whole long vacation but unknowingly, you have stretched your
muscles. It’s a good bonding with the whole family, too!

What Is It?

It’s been months that you are staying at home. It was a longer vacation that you
experienced because of the threat of the COVID-19. You may be bored but don’t worry. You
can turn the things around you into something that gives you selfgratification. There are many
recreational activities you can do to relax and to enjoy.
Any activity that takes place during your free time is referred to as recreation. It does
not follow standard rules; it can be done anywhere; and most of all, it gives enjoyment and self-
satisfaction. Recreation is derived from the Latin word, “recreare” which means to be refreshed
(mapasigla), to relax or to enjoy. Participation in recreational activities varies from one person to
another depending on one’s intention, reason or belief.
How do you spend your free time? Recreation is categorized into active recreation and
passive recreation. Active recreational activities include jogging, swimming, hiking, biking or
gardening while passive recreational activities include watching television, listening to music or
reading books. Moreover, active recreational activities can be done indoor or outdoor. Where
do you prefer to do recreational activities? It depends on you. Whether indoor or outdoor,
what matters most is its holistic impact on you as a person.
Having in touch with nature can give so much relaxation. Walking on green grass by the
woods or just watching birds early in the morning while holding hands with your loved ones
(family) is a unique bonding time away from the day-to-day routine. Others love to do these
activities in water while those adventurers would prefer more on air. Our country has many
places to explore and to start many recreational activities, whether on land, in air or on water.
In your community, what activities can you offer? Have you tried it before?
