As New Zealand enters its second week of the alert level 4 lockdown, Kiwis have shared the things they have been up to on social media.
Usingthe video-sharing platform TikTok, Kiwis are showing off their dance routines and coming up with challenges or creative memes.
The footage shows Payton and his dad trying to get a rugby ball into a basketball hoop from a fair distance.
By day 3, they decided to mix it up by drop-kicking the ball in the hoop.
Isolation party in Wellington
Students in Wellington have found a creative way to stay entertained during New Zealand's four-week lock-in by creating an "isolation party" in the Massey University halls of residence.
Louis Davis shared video of the students dancing outside their rooms two metres apart, or through their windows, in a video that has had over 360,000 views.
Davis told TVNZ the routine was to keep up morale in trying times, and also to celebrate a residential assistant's birthday.
Maori flash-card challenge
Popular New Zealand TikTok creators, Judaxx & Nixon, have shared a Maori flashcard challenge they have been doing to keep themselves busy during isolation.
They are each given a word in English and have to provide the Te Reo translation within five seconds or get hit by a nerf gun.
Hiding tactics during self-isolation
Some Kiwis have shown ways they have been "hiding" from police during the lockdown.
NZ born Samoan, Jessica Slade, shared a video of what looks like family members in Samoa, NZ, Australia and USA chucking toilet paper to one another.
