If You Can’t Bear To Head Outside In This Heat, These Activities Are Perfect For Having Some Fun Indoors
While the summer is the most popular season for outdoor activities, it’s a bit ironic, considering that sometimes the heat gets so bad that we’re forced to stay inside as if we were hunkering down for the winter.
Heat waves have been affecting many people’s summer plans worldwide, and now, they’ve had to get creative on how to spend their time indoors.
Some heat advisories are so serious that we’re told to spend most of our day inside.
If you’re a little thrown off by extreme heat levels this summer and aren’t sure how to spend your free time indoors, here are some fun ideas for you.
Have a video game tournament
If you have a gaming system, invite a friend over and please your inner child by having some kind of video game competition with them.
You can play games like “Mario Kart” and race each other, or do some fun battle-based games to keep your competitive spirit alive without melting in the heat.
Follow an online workout course
If you’re someone who loves working out outside, don’t let the heat kill your vibe. Take things indoors and get your daily exercise in by following an online workout class. You can do yoga, zumba, pilates, and more!

Start a book club
One of the best and cheapest indoor activities is reading a good book, but if you want a more social experience, you can start a book club! Call up a few friends and see if they’d like to read the same story, and then you can take turns hosting weekly club meetings to discuss what you’ve read.
It’s a great way to check a book off your summer reading list and have fun.
Hit up a happy hour
A fun way to enjoy a few drinks with loved ones on a summer evening without cramming yourself into a sweaty club is to find some cute local, air-conditioned bars that offer great happy hour deals.
Choose some places you’ve never been to before and see what kind of tasty, cold cocktails and snacks you can get for a fraction of the price.
Clean out your home
Being crammed inside for heat reasons is a great excuse to put your energy into deep cleaning your home. If there’s a day that’s too hot to do anything fun outside, use it as a reason to organize your closet, deep clean your kitchen, or pick up your room. You’ll be glad you did it at the end of the day!
Go to the movies
You know how movie theaters are often chilly? This makes them the perfect place for an extremely hot summer day. Treat yourself to seeing a film that’s been on your list and enjoy some classic theater snacks in a cold, dark space.
Hopefully, this has inspired you to plan your next indoor day and has proven that you can still have a great rest of your summer, even if it’s too hot to be outside.
