How to Spark Joy in Your Neighborhood
With the weather changing soon and so many fall outdoor activities still being limited due to COVID, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands to bring the fun and joy into YOUR very own neighborhood!
Here are some pretty neat ideas to build community and get out of the house to have some good ol’ fashioned fun with the family!
1. Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt
Pro Tip: Definitely make use of those cell phone cameras to show proof of your findings. You can do it just for fun, or involve prizes and awards!
2. Create an Outdoor Obstacle Course
Pro Tip: Bonus points for leaving a hand sanitizing station out for participants!
3. Outdoor Yoga Class – Social-distanced style
4. Put on a Performance!
5. Host a Food Truck Night -our fave!
Ways to Make it Successful for Everyone
Ask if the food truck takes pre-orders. This way, families can just take a leisurely walk to the food truck, pick up their food (contactless) and go.
Encourage a cash-less system so that there is less contact.
Set expectations with the food truck that all their employees must wear masks and gloves at all times.
Remind residents that this is a grab-and-go event and not to congregate in close proximity to each other.

PROMOTE! PROMOTE! PROMOTE! Help encourage the community to come out and support local small businesses while enjoying something different and yummy right in their own neighborhood 🙂 A great way to do this is to create a Facebook event in your neighborhood FB group, emails, posters, mailers, and word of mouth.
