With many people still cooped up in their apartments, building associations are coming up with creative ideas to cheer residents up during these challenging times.
Hosting virtual resident events for apartment buildings gives everyone a break from their daily lives, while also fostering a sense of community.
Check out these virtual resident event ideas for apartment buildings:
1. Fitness Classes
There’s something about exercising as a group that gets everyone pumped up. If you’ve been spending excessive time on the couch, you should really be getting some exercise every day.
We understand that people all over the country aren’t able to go to their gyms and fitness studios to work out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t exercise from the comfort of their homes.
Encourage your building’s residents to get their heartbeat pumping and break a sweat with online fitness classes.
You can surely find a group of fitness enthusiasts in your building who will be happy to lead online classes.
2. Mini Musical Concert
It’s going to be a while before you see your favorite artists in person, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy good live music.
After an exhausting week at work, it’s nice to wind down in the evening with the residents in your building serenading you through an online meeting.
Arranging a virtual musical concert is a fun way to relax and see your neighbors at the same time. Feel free to dance along to the tunes in your apartments.
3. Online Trivia Night
Online trivia night is an excellent way to engage your apartment residents during these challenging times. You can arrange a monthly or weekly trivia night where you assign a couple of people to prepare questions to ask the contestants over an online meeting.
You can pool in money to buy exciting prizes to give the winners.
4. Indoor Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger hunts are quick and easy to do. Send out a list of items your residents are most likely to have and put in a few rare items that they’ll struggle to find. Ask them to take a photo and post it on your apartment building communication platform for you to review.
The family that has the most items wins the hunt!
