5 Fun Activities During Eid Holiday at Home

Hooray! The wait will be over soon because Eid is coming. After 30 days of fasting, of course there will be a lot of activities that we want to do during Eid holiday. Even at home, we can still doing fun activities on Eid al-Fitr. Of course, without compromising the essence of Eid and still following health protocols. Come on, let's take a look at five exciting activities that we can do during Eid at home below!

Eid Prayer at Home

Eid prayer is one of the activities that distinguish Eid from normal days. For that reason, Eid prayer will always be a moment that we don’t want to miss. Even if we will be doing Eid at home, we can still doing Eid prayer alone or with family at home. Maybe the excitement  will not be the same as the congregationalEid Prayer in a mosque, but we could be more solemn and closer to our Dad, Mom, and other family members. Don’t forget to ask and offer forgiveness to each other after praying.

Eating Ketupat With Family

Who misses eating ketupat with family? Believe it or not, ketupat taste can be twice as good if we eat that during Eid and with our loved ones. Especially when combined with opor ayam, rendang, sambal and a sprinkling of fried onions. It is truly the taste of Eid food that is worth the wait. Other than opor ayam and rendang, what’s your other favorite side dish to go with your ketupat?

Be An Eid Cake Tester

Finally ... The Eid cake, which our Mom kept in the larder for a few days, can be opened! Other than ketupat, Eid cakes also become favorite food during Eid. Another activity that is certainly very enjoyable during Eid is tasting various kinds of Eid cakes with our brother and sister. There are nastar (pineapple jam filled cookies), puteri salju (cookie with powdered sugar), kastengel (cheese sprinkled cookie), and lidah kucing. What is your favorite Eid cake?

Doing Video Call With Family

Amid pandemic, Eid at home makes us have to hold back to meet our family. But don't let it interrupt your Eid moments. You can make video calls with your Dad, Mom or other family members who you can’t meet during this year’s Eid. Ask them how they are, tell them how your fast during Ramadan, tell them that you miss them, and believe that you will meet them once the condition is getting better.

Playing Board Game and Watching Movie

When all family members get together, it is most fun to do activities together such as playing board games or watching movies. There are many choices of board games that you can enjoy with your family at home, such as monopoly or snakes and ladders. For those of you who will be doing Eid in a boarding house or dorm, you can do a movie marathon by watching films that you haven't had the chance to watch on normal days.

Eid is such a long-awaited moment for those who celebrate. Even Eid at home, there are still many exciting things we can do, and of course, is the safest way during the Covid-19 pandemic. So hold back to meet your family and don’t go mudik (homecoming), to protect the people you loved.
