I'm BORED...

Have those words ever slipped through your lips? If your mom is like my mom, you'll hear a response that goes something like, "If you can't find something to do, I'll find something for you to do." which usually involved cleaning or weeding the garden.

So, with summer right around the corner, let's start a list of things to do. I did this with some younger kids during "National Turn Off the TV Week" and they got very creative.

I'll start the list. I'll add to it as you leave comments.

• paint a picture
• write a story
• READ a book
• listen to a book on tape or CD from the library
• watch the clouds and see what pictures you can find in them
• play a board game
• draw with chalk on the driveway or sidewalk
• perform a play
• cook something
• use recycled things to create a sculpture
• plant some flowers or vegetables. Water them and watch them grow
• go to a free concert in a park. There are a LOT of them in the summer
• YOUR TURN!
