Don't stay at home! Walls won't make you happier ;)

On our instagram @idem_gulyat every Friday we publish 10 free and interesting events of the upcoming weekend, subscribe and save yourself the tormenting question of where to go on the weekend!

Dinner is eaten and the household sullenly dispersed to their rooms (corners) or just sat down at the TV ... Usually, it happens like this. But long winter evenings are better spent on much more useful and exciting activities.

The cold is inexorably approaching and it's time to think about how to fill the long winter evenings. Interesting joint leisure- strengthens family ties, forms family traditions and gives a powerful positive emotional charge to all family members. Therefore, learning how to properly organize home evenings and weekends is the responsibility of every woman. And here it is not so important what exactly the family does, the main thing is that the process would be pleasant and bring pleasure to all participants.

Here are some ideas for an exciting home leisure

Playing "Show-off"

Fun and exciting game. Like adults and children. The game liberates and develops artistry, teaches not to be afraid of public speaking. The facilitator makes one word to the player, which he must “show” to other participants in the game, while speaking is prohibited, only postures, gestures, facial expressions, etc. can be used. Other players must guess which word was guessed. The one who guessed, in turn, guess a new word and so on until they get bored.

Board games (Lotto, checkers, monopoly, etc.)

You can choose any that will suit your household. There are a great many such games: from lotto to monopoly and mafia. Board games are a very useful hobby, they develop attention, ingenuity, teach children to interact with others and adequately respond to their own victories and defeats.

Watching family comedies or series together

This option of home leisure will be very useful if you want to spend a lazy evening, or just don’t want to invent something (yes, this also happens). Pick a movie that suits you, pop some popcorn, and get comfortable on the couch together.

By the way, as an option, you can also “get hooked” on some realties series, and watch it in the evenings with the whole family. It's also pretty fun and unifying.

Home theater performances and concerts

If you have a creative family, then you must definitely arrange a home performance, with all the attributes: a script, distribution of roles, preparation of scenery and costumes. You can also invite friends and neighbors to the performance.

It can be not only a theatrical performance, but also a concert with songs and music. Children and teenagers will surely enjoy participating.

Cooking yummy

Who doesn't love delicious food? From cooking, you can also arrange useful entertainment for the whole family. The main thing is that all family members take part in the preparation of the dish. And it’s better to choose the right dish, not some banal soup or vinaigrette ... Teenagers and children usually like to cook street food: hot dogs, shawarma, pasties, chips, etc. It is quite unusual to cook such dishes at home, but then you can immediately eat it, for example, while watching a family comedy. It can be turned into a good tradition. I know a family in which khachapuri is always cooked on Saturdays, and then they eat it with pleasure at a movie screening.

Putting together puzzles

Wonderful evening entertainment! Puzzles can and should be collected by everyone. You can choose any size and plot. If the puzzle is very large, then it is better to divide it into parts - entrust the simplest pieces of the puzzle with large details to the kids, but for those who are older, complex parts with landscapes and small drawings will do. Collecting puzzles train perseverance, patience, logic and abstract thinking. Adults - such leisure helps to distract from daily, small and not very worries.

Reading books out loud

If there are small children in the house, read books to them out loud. After all, kids are so pleased to hear the voices of their parents. Pick up an interesting children's book and read. The more artistic you will voice the characters, the more fun this activity will be.

Make garlands and all sorts of crafts

Winter is a long series of New Year and Christmas holidays. Why not make Christmas tree decorations, gifts and cards yourself? To do this, you will only need to stock up on materials, patience and connect your imagination. Kids will be happy to cut, glue, draw and sculpt. It greatly develops imagination and creative thinking. And of course it brings a lot of positive emotions.

It is coming to an end, and with the approach of the weekend, the question of how to spend the long-awaited days of rest increasingly arises. For those who do not want, as they say, to lie in front of the TV all their free time, but have firmly decided to visit various interesting places, Moscow is ready to offer a lot of options.

Let's try to get to know some of them better.

Section 1. Where to go for free

Do not despair if your family's budget is limited. Despite the fact that the capital of Russia is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, there are enough places where you can relax cheaply or even for free. Surprisingly, such leisure can include visits to museums, theaters, concerts, discos and yoga classes.

Many Muscovites and guests of the city believe that the most interesting places to walk are parks. First of all, these include Babushkinsky, Perovsky, Kuzminsky, Tagansky, Izmailovsky, Tushinsky, Filevsky, Krasnopresnensky, as well as Baumansky Garden, Muzeon and the Hermitage Garden.

By the way, in Gorky Park and in the Pioneer cinema you can do yoga on weekdays. Not everyone knows that all sites are equipped with locker rooms, and those who wish are given mats.

Free dance lessons are held in Gorky Park. There are also many nightly youth discos with free entry. Weekends can be spent at Squat Café, Bilinqua or Cuba Libre.

Section 2. Cultural events for free? It's real!

The Moscow Event Theater on Varshavskoye Shosse offers to watch performances for free. If you liked the performance, then you can pay for a ticket an amount from 100 to 500 rubles. True, you should pay attention to the fact that you need to book seats in advance by phone or on the theater website.

Do you love classics and are looking for interesting places? Moscow is just the city where connoisseurs of beauty should go. For example, you can enjoy the music of famous world composers in the Rachmaninov and Small Halls of the Moscow Conservatory. Free performances of the chamber ensemble and choir, international festivals, concerts of organ music, violin and piano are constantly held here.

You can see the panorama of Moscow on Sparrow Hills, where survey binoculars are issued for this purpose. The capital is also rich in other attractions: temples and monasteries, nature reserves and ancient estates.

Excursions to these places do not require special expenses.

Section 3. Zoos of Moscow

All kids love to watch animals. That is why, when talking about interesting places, one cannot fail to mention zoos.

Many will agree that this is the perfect place for a family holiday. Contact zoos will allow the children to get to know the animals better. Here you can stroke and feed them, and while children communicate with charming representatives of the world of fauna, adults can relax or have a snack. Zoos "My little world" on the street. Tushinskaya and "Animals as toys" on Novoyasenevsky prospect welcome their guests of any age.

A special pride of Moscow is the Moscow State Zoo, on the territory of which various species of animals and birds are kept. This is the oldest and largest zoo in Russia.

Section 4. Water parks of the capital

There is an opinion that there are the most, which means that getting to them is not quite, to put it mildly, convenient. This is nothing more than a delusion. For example, those who live in more remote areas are probably closer to the huge entertainment complexes, which, as practice shows, are rarely built inside the Garden Ring.

For example, the largest water park is "Moreon" in Yasenevo. The complex is equipped with extreme slides, a swimming pool and a playground, massage baths and steam rooms, cafes and bars. The pools are surrounded by tropical plants and palm trees. Another water park "Kva-Kva" is no less attractive. There are also water slopes of various heights, children's attractions and pools, water cannons and a jacuzzi. On Saturdays, Kva-Kva (Mytishchi) hosts night parties of the Shine project.

The Aqua Yuna water park with a new attraction for surfing was opened 8 km from Moscow. The park is divided into children's and adult zones. In total, there are 9 slides from 2 to 10 meters high, some of them have downhill.

Section 5. Interesting and its theaters

In the center of the Russian capital there is the only anti-cinema "Kino House" with closed halls, karaoke and video games. This is an unusual place - in the halls there are cozy sofas, board games, karaoke, 3D. The romantic atmosphere in small rooms is conducive to dates, and in large rooms you can spend time with friends.

The performances are reminiscent of a black and white cartoon. The silhouettes on the canvas seem to come to life and simply fascinate the audience with their play. Special transforming chairs allow you to watch the production from any corner of the hall. Children will simply be delighted with visiting this institution.

The famous Yury Kuklachev Cat Theater pleases the audience with the performances of their pets. A unique world of kindness and warmth reigns here, cats perform with dogs, and an adult feels like a child.

Section 6. Conquering the depths of the sea

Many will agree that you can endlessly talk about interesting places in Moscow. "Where to go?" - such a question in this city, perhaps, is asked extremely rarely. More often, local residents and guests of the capital are trying to solve the problem associated with the lack of time in order to cover everything they want.

For example, why not admire the beauty of the underwater world in the aquarium on Chistoprudny Boulevard, 14? The exposition consists of more than 200 aquarium complexes, where various species of fish and sharks live. The store provides a wide range of aquariums and equipment for it. Visiting the aquarium takes place daily by appointment. The Shark Feeding Show is held twice a week.

The largest Oceanarium is located on Dmitrovskoye Highway, where you can watch the underwater life of the inhabitants inside the tunnel. Representatives of flora and fauna from all over the planet are gathered here. Visitors can become spectators of a colorful fur seal show or shark feeding.

If you want to swim with dolphins, then feel free to go to the dolphinarium at the All-Russian Exhibition Center. Pleasure is not cheap (5000-10000 rubles), but emotions for life. The cost of the dolphin show is 400-1200 rubles, depending on the location. After the performance, you can take a picture with or ride a child on a boat "drawn" by dolphins.

Section 7. For lovers of the stars

The Big Planetarium is one of the best planetariums in the world, which is not only an educational center, but also a stellar theater where you can take a tour through time and space.

The complex includes the Urania Museum, the Lunarium Museum, the Sky Park, the Large and Small Star Halls. Interactive and space exhibits, educational games and 4D films let you learn about space and space discoveries.

Section 8. Winter fun

• school of figure skating;
• children's Corner;
• locker rooms;
• skate rental;
• cafe.

Another skating rink is open near GUMA from 10:00 to 24:00 in winter. Its ice cover does not melt even in +10˚C weather, and evening lighting creates a special fairy-tale atmosphere.

So, after reviewing the list of proposed options, it is quite possible to conclude that Moscow is ready to offer interesting places for every taste and wealth. And all that is needed for visitors is to tune in a positive way and be ready to be surprised.
