With the Covid-19 quarantine challenges happening world wide, people have been finding ways to keep entertained. Taking to social media is even more of a trend than ever before. 

Most of time with these quarantine challenges, it’s entertaining to watch. However now with being stuck at home, I have to admit I’m doing challenges that I normally would find a waste of time doing. Now I find it a great way to past the time and have social interaction.

What Are Social Media Challenges?

Anything you can think of doing and then getting others to participate to do the same thing.

In the past, there’s the iconic #icebucketchallenge where it started off as a fundraising campaign to internet sensation as people posted creative ways to dump bucket of ice on themselves. From then on, it lead to many other types of challenges. A favorite of mine was the #chairchallenge.

Some Challenges to Do With Your Pets

I’m sure your pet is loving that you are home more now. However, resentful that for now no more doggie parks or fun car rides. Keep them occupied with some of these quarantine challenges!

Cat and Dog Obstacle Course Challenge requires you to set up a little obstacle with pretty much any small things that can stand upright. Then have your dog and/or cat walk through it without knocking it over.

Toilet Paper Wall Level Up Challenge is where you build a wall with toilet paper and have your dog or cat jump over it. Then keep building the height to see how high the wall can be without being knocked over. Great way to make use of all that toilet paper you realized your overstocked.
