Family is everything to us. With the movement control order (MCO) ensuring that everyone is home, we now have more time than before with them at home. While the bread-earners continue to work from home, family time is equally as important.
Many people wonder if they will eventually run out of things to do together and start grinding on each other's nerves. Family time should be fun, not tedious. So here are a few good ideas:
Watching movies together
Watching movies is one of the things that everyone enjoys. A variety of interesting films or shows are readily available on television. What's more fun than watching a movie? That's watching a movie together as a family.

Cooking and baking
Making biscuits and cakes or cooking lunch and dinner can be fun activities for the family. This is the time that you can show your cooking skills in the kitchen or try out new recipes for your whole family. At the same time, you can teach your kids how to cook as well as prioritise healthy menus.

House cleaning
A clean and tidy home ensures a healthy and cheerful family. With the family all together, maintaining the cleanliness of a home can be more challenging. But on the flip side, more hands make light work. Turn it into a game, see who can clean the rooms the best and the winner gets a prize. For example, an extra helping of ice cream,
