A quarter of the world's humans are at home right now. If you're reading this, chances are that you're one of them. Yes, it's important to stay safe indoors to protect ourselves and others, but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time. We will create an endless list of things to do indoors. Stick with us and we promise you won't be bored for a second.

Catch up on literary classics

You know that pile of books that you haven't ever quite managed to get into? There'll never be a better time to conquer it. And if you've already exhausted your library, you can now access more than a million books for free online as part of the 'National Emergency Library'. Usually, you'd have to join a queue before being able to borrow anything. But now you can just dip into whatever you want, whenever.

Join a virtual choir

If the videos of cities in lockdown coming together to sing on their balconies left you with a lump in your throat, here's your chance to add your sound to one of several online choirs popping up around the world. The Sofa Singers is a free online singing event that aims to‘bring people together from around the world to promote joy and human connection'. It involves hundreds of singers joining a Zoom call and learning a new song together.

Form new bonds with your neighbours

In normal times, you might not be the type to actually talk to your neighbours. But let's be honest: your social life's a wreck right now, and you're going to make friends with the people next door, no matter what. So why not take inspiration from Balcony Parties In Miami, or the Londoner Hosting Athletic Classes On His Doorstep? Go on, get social-in a distant kind of way, of course.
