Fun Day Ideas (Solo Or In Groups)
Life is too short to work, work, work, and never have fun. If you work hard, you should play harder. Life is all about having fun, letting your hair down, and spending time doing things you enjoy. As someone that works as a freelancer full-time, I try my best to also spend some time having fun. Because as someone who works from home online it’s easy to end up working long hours. If you want to have the ultimate fun day with your friends and family, or alone, then here are some great fun day ideas.
Escape room fun
If you love solving mysteries and have a partner in crime that does too, then you should consider pursuing a 2 person escape room. What better way to spend a morning or afternoon trying to solve a mystery? Not only are escape rooms adrenaline-filled, but they are also ideal for a rainy day and perfect for those that love to spend their time-solving problems. Fun fact, when I was living in Canada, we had an escape room quite close to us.
Pamper sessions
Whether you wish to have a fun day alone or with a group of your girlfriend, why not have a pamper session? Getting your hair and nails done is the ultimate way to relax and spend your time indulging in self-love and self-care. To make the fun day more indulgent, book yourself an appointment instead of pursuing the pamper session yourself. I went to a spa a while back with the bestie and I still remember how awesome it was for the both of us. Self-care is so vital and pamper sessions are best for it.
Host a games night
A great group activity for adults is to have a puzzle or games night. If you do not often find time during the week or during weekdays to have fun with your friends, then why not host a games night at your house at the weekend?
Your friends will likely have more time at the weekend to rest and relax. Therefore, it is the perfect opportunity to ask friends around and have a fun evening together. You could ask each guest to bring a game or puzzle of their choice, then everyone can host their gaming preference and ensure that they feel the evening is fulfilling and fun.
Get active
If you are someone that doesn’t enjoy sitting around too much, then why not fill your days with fun, active activities when you have time off? You could go off on a solo hiking day. Or you could get a group of your closest family and friends together to play squash, football, or any other activity that you all enjoyed doing.
Being active is a great and effective way of passing your time. You can guarantee to maintain your energy levels and feel that you have spent your time proactively. You really could spend a whole day being active alone or with your friends to ensure that you spend enough time on yourself outside of work and other challenging life commitments.
Conclusion
There really are so many fun day ideas that you can pursue alone or in groups. Never waste your life away when you have spare time. Ensure to utilise your free time proactively so that you can feel fulfilled and spend enough time doing things that you would love for the most.

Very interesting concept, Pooja! 👌👌👌
Thanks so much 😊
😊🙏🙏
This is one of the main reasons I am glad I go to a central office to get my days assignments. I don’t think I could handle working from home…
Yeah, working from home is tough and definitely not a good fit for everyone.
Great ideas for relaxing.
Thanks so much.
You’re most welcome.
Hey pooja. Hope you’re doing well, friend 🙂
Thanks so much, hope you’re doing well too 🙂
Interesting. I’m guessing somewhat extrovert?
Yes, selectively so.
A good thing to be able to be able to be. I tend to be introvert so more than one or two people is a group.
I was like that before but after university I became more extroverted.
For some reason University didn’t make me less introverted. I’m more verbal in writing than in real life 😀 I hardly say a word.
That’s interesting. I think writing helps a lot of introverts express themselves better which is nice.
Of course then there are all the conversations one has in their heads because the thoughts seem to come well enough 🙂
Yes, that too. I do enjoy my chats with myself as well.
All these are good fun days ideas and I think these are more enjoyable in groups of cousins or friends.
But the underlying idea is one must manage and enjoy free time, otherwise continuous work will take a heavy toll on our physical and mental health.
Thanks so much. True, it’s more fun with others and I generally do most with others. Although sometimes I do some alone.
Exactly, taking time to enjoy ourselves is vital in life. The first year I worked full time I didn’t take much time off and felt so burnt out. Now I take time off every week.
Agreed
Oh, so true. You have really said it. Nowadays we spend too much time staring at the screen for work or for after work entertainment. It is very much an addiction. I have not gone to a real cinema, casino, or a mahjong game for a while. It is all online nowadays.
That’s so true. And since I work online I feel like 90% of the time I’m staring at a screen. I play mahjong online too lol.
These are lovely tips PG!!
My idea of having fun is a workout session on my liking. Usually that is HIIT. For me that’s pure ecstasy.
I also sometimes likes to go shopping. It’s not necessary that I buy something everytime. But, trying new clothes have become my interest. Reason for that is, I’m losing weight and I get happy seeing myself in clothes I never thought I could wear someday. 😃
Thanks so much. That sounds great, keep doing what you enjoy.
Yeah, just going out and window shopping is also fun. I’m glad you’re liking yourself more now and are able to wear clothes you like. It was the same for me when I lost weight 😀
Oh speaking of that
I went for shopping today.
I bought some trousers. Not good as yours, but yeah.
Recently, I’ve become spendthrift. Maybe because I’m now in better shape and get ecstasy wearing clothes I never thought I would.
That’s great, it’s good to spoil yourself and try clothes you were never able to before. Celebrate your achievements 😊
Thanks dear 🙌🏻
Great ideas for relaxing. Good timing for your post too. One of the downsides of freelancing is sometimes too much work all arrives at once and you get snowed under (describes this month).
Thanks so much. I absolutely agree. One of the reasons I shared this post is because I’ve been busy too this month. It’s been one of my most busy months so far.
Good to hear!
all great ideas, Pooja.
… minimum efforts but rewarding too. 😉
Thanks for sharing 🤍
Thank you so much and yes sometimes the minimum stuff helps us feel good 😊
always a pleasure 🤍
You gave great ideas. It is essential for everyone to take care of themselves
Thanks so much, I agree we should all take good care of ourselves. Physically and mentally.
Great ideas. I enjoying playing a musical instrument which I have not done enough of lately. I am slowly becoming an internet hermit, so I really need to make more of an effort in getting out into the real world with friends.
Thanks so much. That’s wonderful. I’m learning guitar at the moment. I spend a lot of time online due to work but I try to take breaks as much as possible.
The introvert in me, tends to avoid crowds. But I grew up In a large family, so doing group activities are still enjoyable. But my idea of fun time is going for a run, a long hike, a video game night with the kids..
Great ideas in your post as well.. especially the Escape Room. 💙👏
Yeah, I get that. I like going out sometimes and group activities but I also really love my alone time.
Escape rooms are so great. Would totally recommend them 😊
Not sure about the pamper sessions!
Try it, they’re fun!
We have done escape rooms and loved them.
They’re so much fun when you do them with the right people. And it gets your mind active.
yes gupta
spin around three times
and scream
come forth
thanks to bobby
oh frig it!!!!!!!!!!!!
luv ya
Lol whatever works for you!
whatever is my middle name gupta.
Great relaxing ideas, Pooja. I feel we all need pampering days so we can renew ourselves mentally and physically. 💖
I couldn’t agree more. I spent my first year of working full-time overworking myself and that made me realise just how vital it is to take time off and pamper myself 💕
Thanks a lot Pooja G to like my posts, but you are not in my subscription list, can you follow my blog once more ?
My post today is sad. This is much better. You offer positive and practical suggestions. Well done!
It’s okay to post sad stuff sometimes, I do that too. And sometimes I’m more positive. It’s all about balance I guess.
Painting and music are also my go-to. It’s so hard to pass the time during long summer days.
Those are both really great, I’m learning guitar at the moment and that’s taking a lot of my time.
good suggestions, for me music is my go-to or even enjoying the silence. Either way taking care of yourself is the key
Music is one of the best things and so is silence. Thanks and absolutely agree.
Great ideas Pooja… working from home really ends up with long working hours. I love game nights with friends and family 🤗
Thanks so much, true working from home can be tough. Game nights are so fun 🤗
Work hard, play hard – get the maximum experience from your professional and private selves.
Absolutely, try to get the best of both.
The idea of an Escape Room sounds awesome. You really gave some great ideas. Thank you!
It’s so much fun, I would so recommend trying an escape room. Thanks!
I enjoy having fun, and going out to the lake, and going to the parks, but this heat is so unbearable. Right now it’s 103 degrees outside. I enjoy going out, but this Texas heat will drive you in the house and keep you there. Enjoying Summer is hard every year. Self care is important, and getting away from it all is even better.
Those all sound great but yeah not the best for summer. Still, there are some things we can do to enjoy our time indoors too. Absolutely, self-care is vital.
to enjoy life I know that I have to just leave the house…walk out that door…every day I do, I always bump into someone, anyone, friends, people I haven’t seen forever…bonding, connecting, social….that’s what makes me happy, no matter what’s going on….
That’s so wonderful. I take daily walks too and it really makes me feel a lot better.
Escape rooms are so fun! Motivating article, Pooja.
They are! Thanks! 😊
Great ideas for fun and you are absolutely right; if you work hard you should play harder. Self-care is so important. I hope you’re planning something fun for the weekend!
Thanks so much and absolutely! I’m hoping to go to a paint and sip!
To think I’ve been extremely bored for some time now. These are really nice ideas. Thanks 😊
That’s great, you read this post on time then 😊
We love dancing with our Wii. I know, old school, but really you can work out for quite a while without even realizing it! Just have that cold water at the ready!!!
That sounds so fun, dancing is actually a great form of exercise and works out your whole body!
You should watch the movie Escape Room. The concept of escape rooms has changed for me ever since I watched that movie😂
Ooh, I’ll definitely check it out, sounds interesting 😱
Yes please!!!
Great 👍
Thanks 😊
I love hosting game nights and doing murder mysteries.! Great list Pooja
They are so fun!
I know you said it was near to you, but did you go to the Escape Room? Was it like how it’s depicted on reality shows?
Yes, I did and it was awesome! Like one of the best experiences we had.
That’s real cool. 👍
Yeah, but I would warn you to read the reviews first. It can be a great experience but it can also be awful depending on the management etc.
Oh! Thanks for the warning. 👍
No worries 😀
I am dying to try one of those escape rooms, but still trying to align everyone’s schedule.
They’re literally so fun, definitely go to one when you’re able to.
Yes, I’ll definitely work on that.
Great ideas 😁💡 I’ve always wanted to try and escape room!!!
You should, they’re so fun!
Def will 🙂 someday
Those are some good ideas. Yes, I agree with you that it’s good to have some down time from the job and do something fun. If you don’t, a person can get burned out.
Thanks so much. Yes, exactly. We all need some free time too.
