Despite 2020’s best efforts, fall has arrived. While the global situation is different from previous years, there are still many fun fall activities you can enjoy within the bounds of social distancing and safety measures. Whether it’s inside activities like cooking with your kids, or finding alternatives to trick-or-treating, even the pandemic cannot spoil these activities the whole family can enjoy.
Note: During COVID-19, guidelines for celebrating the holidays may be changing due to new studies and information. Please check with your doctor and your local state, county, and city laws to make sure you’re following the current health and safety protocols.
How to do fall activities safely during COVID
Safe fall activities to do at home
If you’re more of a homebody (or are just leery of going to public spaces), you can still have fun at home.
7. Raking leaves
It’s no secret that raking fallen leaves into a pile might secretly be a chore masquerading as an activity. However, can anything beat the satisfaction that comes from jumping into the pile afterward?
8. Making crafts
Whether you’re doing Halloween crafts, Thanksgiving crafts, or just something vaguely autumnal, there are so many fun fall crafts to do at home with your children. There are also fall crafts for the adults, too, like these gorgeous fall home decor projects.
9. Backyard party
For parents of teens, they might be missing their friends most of all. Tomika Bryant is getting together with two families to host a spooky backyard adventure followed by a movie for their teens. “All activities will be socially distanced and require a mask,” Bryant assured us. “Last week we hired an artist to host a painting class over zoom.”
