Things to do with the kids (at home) this weekend

There are a lot of fun ways to make social distancing fun.


Since we have been advised to practice social distancing, it is wiser to find some fun activities to do at home with the family. This time is forcing us to stay in, shut down and spend some well deserved time with the family. Our lives are usually so hectic, so this time calls for some relaxation and bonding. 

Movie to watch

Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution

Where: Netflix

If there is a production that will most likely appeal to an older generation and the young, its Pokemon. The 22nd installment was released in January on Netflix and it is 97 minutes of absolute fun, and a bit of emotion.
