When you think about Labor Day, you probably imagine barbecues with neighbors gathering in a backyard, pool parties with friends, and block parties. However, as COVID-19 continues to be a major health concern, these activities can pose a serious risk to you and your family’s health. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate Labor Day, though! Instead, try out some of our COVID-19-friendly celebrations.
Enjoy the summer sun with a family field day competition — just don’t forget the sunscreen! Choose a variety of fun activities, and compete to see who will be the Labor Day Champion. Some games to consider include:
While sitting in a regular movie theater can increase your risk of catching COVID-19, hosting a backyard movie screening for members of your household can be a fun way to get out of the house. Use a portable movie screen or a sheet, and project a movie of your choice. Set up blankets, pillows, and string lights for a fun and beautiful experience, and don’t forget the snacks!
If being out in the heat doesn’t sound like fun, consider holding a board game tournament with your family. Grab some of your favorite games, cook up some nutritious and delicious snacks, and spend the day rolling the dice.
Whether it’s in your backyard or at a local park, having a picnic is a great way to get some fresh air and spend time with your family. If you do go to a park, bring masks and hand sanitizer, and set up your picnic blanket far away from any other visitors.
