Activity 1: LET’S DANCE

Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. I know that you are already bored at

home. But hey, break the ice by dancing to the music of your choice. You
want Budots or Tik-Tok? Let all the family members take turn in dancing
your hearts away. With this activity, you will not only forget the boredom
you experienced the whole long vacation but unknowingly, you have
stretched your muscles. It’s a good bonding with the whole family, too!

What Is It?
It’s been months that you are staying at home. It was a longer
vacation that you experienced because of the threat of the COVID-19. You
may be bored but don’t worry. You can turn the things around you into
something that gives you self-gratification. There are many recreational
activities you can do to relax and to enjoy.

Any activity that takes place during your free time is referred to as
recreation. It does not follow standard rules; it can be done anywhere; and
SHS Department |2
most of all, it gives enjoyment and self-satisfaction. Recreation is derived
from the Latin word, “recreare” which means to be refreshed (mapasigla),
to relax or to enjoy. Participation in recreational activities varies from one
person to another depending on one’s intention, reason or belief.

How do you spend your free time? Recreation is categorized into

active recreation and passive recreation. Active recreational activities
include jogging, swimming, hiking, biking or gardening while passive
recreational activities include watching television, listening to music or
reading books. Moreover, active recreational activities can be done indoor
or outdoor. Where do you prefer to do recreational activities? It depends
on you. Whether indoor or outdoor, what matters most is its holistic impact
on you as a person.

Having in touch with nature can give so much relaxation. Walking

on green grass by the woods or just watching birds early in the morning
while holding hands with your loved ones (family) is a unique bonding time
away from the day-to-day routine. Others love to do these activities in water
while those adventurers would prefer more on air. Our country has many
places to explore and to start many recreational activities, whether on land,
in air or on water. In your community, what activities can you offer? Have
you tried it before?

bucket of water in taking a bath or you just had a very relaxing time while

 Consider some outdoor recreational activities that bring you closer
to nature. It is very relaxing to hear the sound of singing birds and bubbling
brooks; very soothing when you feel the breath of fresh air on your face and
smell the divine fragrance of flowers. A line in an energy beverage
commercial says, “Great things start from small beginning.” So, start your
recreational activities with hiking and/or jogging even within your compound
this season.

To fully understand, the following terms related to mountaineering

are defined below.

You can always make your own version of these recreational

activities at home. Just be creative and innovative. Even a simple

What I Can Do?

1. In times of crisis, food is our most essential basic need. Considering
the many challenges, to include finances, faced by your breadwinners,
you can always help them bring nutritious food on the table to eat.
How? Cultivate your vacant lot into a vegetable garden. If you are
living in an urban community, make an innovation by cultivating an
urban garden using recyclable materials as your pots/plots. In your
little ways, you can bring joy to their hearts and at the same time, keep
yourself fit through this physical activity.
