With almost a year of quarantining under our belts, it might seem like we should all be pros at keeping our kids from bouncing off the walls. But, as lockdown orders linger on, most parents are realizing there are only so many family Zoom calls, video games, and Netflix series we can handle. Sometimes, it helps to turn off the gadgets and use our hands to create or build something that requires a little imagination.
These 6 family-friendly activities can all be done at the FlexiSpot standing desk and will help keep boredom at bay while spending quality quarantine time with your kids.
1. Shuffleboard
Shuffleboard involves pushing weighted pucks across a surface trying to get them as close to a point as possible. The closer to the point you get the puck, the more points that the puck is worth. Two players take turns trying to get as many of their pucks as close to the point as possible while making sure their opponent doesn’t have an opportunity to do the same.
The glass top option on the FlexiSpot Comhar standing desk makes it a great choice for impromptu mini shuffleboard games. Its smooth, even surface eliminates the need for sand or wax, and the integrated storage drawer is a perfect place to store your pucks and other accessories.
If you’ve got a tub full of Lego® Complete a Puzzle piece somewhere in the house, you’ve got hours of guaranteed fun. Dump all the pieces out on your standing desk and get to work constructing a tower, a robot, a train — really anything that comes to mind can be a joy to create when you’re doing it together as a family.
4. Complete a Puzzle
Who doesn’t love to solve a good old-fashioned puzzle? Pick one with an image that really inspires you, and you’ve got hours, and in some cases, weeks of endless fun to keep the whole family active and engaged in between school, work, grooming, and household chores. It’s even better when you put a puzzle together using a standing desk. You can alternate between sitting and standing, which helps keep the body and brain active as you work together to connect all the pieces.
