Introduction
There is a general view about entertainment, people think you must have lots of money or save for a long time before you can have fun, but that's not true there are many ideas for entertainment that one can just make out time and enjoy him or herself with friends without spending a whole lot and without waiting for so long before you have fun.
Lets check out some inexpensive and fun ideas for entertainment
.
Having a movie night at home.
Here in Lagos State it cost a lot of money if you and your friends want to enjoy a movie in a cinema most likely many people stay a long time before watching movie.
But creating the movie night at home can really be interesting and also save much for you because all one need to do is to pick a movie title pick a date put your house in place maybe get some blanket that will be comfortable for watching the movie then invite your friends to come over.
Create a snack buffet like some homemade popcorn groundnut and chips, once the movie starts dim the light in the sitting room.
To make it more fun create a flight and movie ticket and fake money get one of your friends to sell the ticket at the door post and during the movie night have your friends share their experience about the movie and the ones they wish to watch honestly this brings lot of fun without spending much money.
Have a board and card game night.
This reminds me what happened during covid restrictions, I live in a compound of 19 tenants and as a result of covid restrictions no one was allowed to go out so we decided to have some fun, we created a card game night for the woman while for the man a board game night.
Each family brought out what they had some brought out foods while some had snacks, it was always night full of fun because everybody was happy and funny enough we had no money to even spend so we created a fun atmosphere without money.
Board game or card game is a fun idea that doesn't require money it's only requires having a board or card game at home then invite friends over if possible prepare some snacks or chips then get a music box for an underground music and everyone will be happy.
Cooking challenge.
Cooking challenge sounds funny and it's always fun because it doesn't cost a lot but at the same time everyone will eat to satisfaction and have fun.
Organize a cooking challenge with some family friends get some food stuffs and choose a time for the cooking challenge, set limit time as to when the cooking should be done then have everyone taste the food and judge but never let them know who owns each food so that there won't be partiality, organize some drinks then music at the background,
make some funny rules that will guide the challenge, also take some pictures that might be posted on the social media to involve others in the challenge and make it more fun.
The cooking should be outside where there will be enough space and air.
Craft nights
Craft night are always fun and it doesn't cost much all you need to do is tell your friends to bring the materials they have at home and ideas of what they want to create by themselves get some snacks around you, have a music box to play music on the background then everyone should start at the same time, have a limit time and have everyone create what they can do.
You also decide to a have a themed craft night maybe for some celebration seasons or Holidays.
Pick a park for picnic.
This might cost more but still not as expensive as some recreational ideas.
Make out time to research for affordable park around you, then prepare food and snacks at home, get your drinks and water, hire a vehicle with your family and friends then go to a beautiful park that has so many beautiful flowers.
Have some time there, look around the park, everyone might bring different types of food, dessert and chips.
One can as well visit museums, go camping , visit the zoo, visit farmers market where you can see different farm products and many more, all this doesn't cost much but you will definitely have fun with your family and friends.
