Public health officials have reiterated that social distancing and physical distancing, basically staying away from each other, will help flatten the curve of COVID-19.

With more time at home, you've probably started a list of movies or shows to watch or stream, books to read or gone for walks around your neighbourhood. But maybe you'd like something a bit different. Below are a few ideas.

Just a reminder with a mild (but wet) weekend ahead if you're hoping to go for a hike, all Grand River Conservation Authority parks are currently closed and it's considered trespassing for people to enter the parks.

You can take part in a "window walk" in Waterloo. The Beechwood North Homes Association has suggested everyone make and put up pictures of flowers on Sunday morning before 9 a.m., then everyone can look at the flowers as they go for walks (while keeping their distance).

In the evenings, enjoy a Bedtime Story With, a initiative on Facebook where local Guelph celebrities read a story at bedtime (as the name suggests).

Dancing Distantly Dance Parties (all ages)

8 p.m. to midnight, Friday, March 27

8 p.m. to midnight, Saturday, March 28

Tune in for a live dance party with K-W's ThunderStorm Productions that you don't need to leave your living room to enjoy. If you don't feel like dancing, you can always just listen to the music. Requests are welcome.

Online trivia night

7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Saturday, March 28

The Kitchener Stray Cat Rescue is holding an evening of online trivia. Entry is a $10 donation with prizes up for grabs for the top players. Register ahead of time.

Visit a local labyrinth

Marilyn Hill emailed to suggest people can visit a labyrinth in Kitchener, which means getting some fresh air while also calming the mind. Unlike a maze where you can get lost in dead ends, labyrinths have one path in and one path out, and are meant to be medatitative.

Remember to keep a two metre distance from others who may also be enjoying the labyrinth. If there's too many people, you can either wait in your car or return another time.

Local locations for labyrinths include:

St. James' Rosemount United Church, located at 171 Sherwood Ave. in Kitchener. The labyrinth is located at the side of the church building beside the community garden.

Calvary Memorial United Church, 91 Gruhn St., Kitchener.

Unity Centre, 2631 Kingsway Dr., Kitchener.

Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 445 Annadale Road, Waterloo.

Parkminster United Church, 275 Erb. St. E., Waterloo.

If you don't want to be outside or can't leave your home, Parkminister United Church offers an online tour through their website.

Watch musicians live

No need for concert tickets right now. You couldn't use them even if you had them. But musicians are stepping up with livestreams of performances. CBC Music has an up-to-date list of upcoming and ongoing concerts, from solo artists to full orchestras.

Highlights for this weekend include Corb Lund, Diesel Bird Fest and Music P.E.I.'s Tiny Island Concert series.

A local concert by Corduroy, from London, is on Saturday night. The Facebook live will have a link so people can donate to The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

Take circus or mime lessons

If you've ever wanted to be a mime, or maybe you want to perfect a handstand, you can take lessons online from local experts.

Barbara Salsberg Mathews in Guelph is offering mime lessons while she remains in quarantine.

"It's a healthy way to pass the time and fun too," she said in an email to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo.

Then there's Tri-City Centre for Circus Arts, which has moved all courses it can online using Zoom. It's offering the courses for whatever you're able to pay.

The centre only just opened its physical location two months ago and after six years of building the company, "we're set on meeting the challenge head-on and keeping our community together until we can open our doors again," co-owner Lindsay Bellaire told CBC K-W.

The centre offers classes on flexibility, juggling and soon, how to do handstands.
