Even when quarantined, only boring people get bored – so sequestered Cleveland Browns fans can feel free to use these activities to keep themselves occupied.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic is no laughing matter, one proof of that being the recommended home quarantine we’ve all been subjected to.

But just because we’re stuck indoors with our families for the unforeseeable future doesn’t mean that Cleveland Browns fans have to succumb to total boredom.

Turns out there are plenty of fun home-based football-related activities that Browns fans can engage in while we’re having to wait out this pesky quarantine.

Here are five of them – hope it helps.

1) Hold a Cleanliness Combine

Every offseason, the NFL holds its Scouting Combine in Indianapolis where selected college athletes compete against each other on field to display their various talents.

What better way to showcase your family’s ability to sanitize your home and themselves than to don your favorite Browns’ jerseys and hold a Cleanliness Combine in your household.

Test those Vertical Jumps and clean the germs off that ceiling fan.

Do the 10-Doorknob Drill and time each other’s anti-bacterial squirting runs.

Use the Hand Washing event to see who exhibits the best scrubbing skills with antibacterial soap under warm water for the entire time the Cleveland Browns Fight Song “Hi-O Hi-O For Cleveland” plays.

2) Toilet Paper Bowling

Let’s face it, you, me and everyone else totally panicked and bought enough toilet paper to wipe the entire city of Pittsburgh (pee-ew).

Well, take twenty of those rolls and double-stack them sideways into bowling pins and then roll your Browns football at them from across the room – best score gets a prize, like maybe some of that valuable toilet paper.

3) Create a Browns-themed hoarding carnival

It won’t be Cedar Point, but you and your family could use the living room and all the household items you’ve hoarded for this crisis to help create a fun Browns-themed carnival.

Paste pictures of Pittsburgh Steelers players onto some of the canned goods you’ve over-bought and then stack them in pyramids. See who in your family can throw a football and knock over the most Black and Gold.

Set all those anti-bacterial gel bottles you’ve just purchased onto the kitchen table and use your Browns visors to play ring toss.

Build an obstacle course made of hundreds of toilet paper rolls and pretend to be Jarvis or OBJ evading tacklers. Fastest time through while knocking over the least number of rolls wins a prize, like maybe some of that valuable toilet paper.

4) First and goal, couch version

For the tougher members of your tribe, it’s first and goal and you’re Nick Chubb with the football and everyone else playing gets to be their favorite Browns defensive lineman.

Start five yards out and attempt to dive into the couch for a touchdown while whoever’s pretending to be Myles and Larry and Sheldon try to stop you.

Protect the more vulnerable older members of the family by letting them commentate as Jim Donovan and Doug Dieken.

5) Play Browns Legends Charades

Gather around the family room while each of you takes a turn acting out your favorite Browns legends without speaking, and whoever guesses the correct player gets to go next.

What better way to teach your homebound children about the great Otto Graham and Jim Brown and Eric Metcalf and the other Bernie than by silently pretending to be them while wearing pajamas.
