Video Games: No

For kids, a way to have fun is video games, but they have to think that outside games make you feel better and free.

Sports

Baseball is super duper fun and is good for when you are bored.... other sports are cool, too!

Live It Out

Let yourself go. Try new things, and try to maintain a positive attitude all the time, even when you don't feel that way. Recognize negative people and isolate yourself from them, and always keep an open mind.

Sleepover!

It is always fun to have a sleepover; call over all of your friends and rock out loud!! For more fun, sleep OUTSIDE!! Have a rocker's tent and a hip hop tent or whatever!!

Dance, Parrty

Just get together with people and purposely try to have the most fun possible. Be nice and just enjoy your fun. If that doesn't work, just listen the Grateful Dead!

Easy Way

Don't think about things, just do things. It's the best way.
—Guest Guest

Use Darkness!

Play hide and seek in the dark. Inside or outside. (Outside is more fun but more risky.)
—Guest hello

Enjoy The Simple Things In Life

Whenever you're happy, take a moment to just relax and totally clear your head except for the thought thats making you happy :)

SING

While sitting with your friends, singing can be really fun--try it !

Fun

When i get stressed, I stand on my head and think about how dumb it is that I'm stressing out.
—Guest Tommy Terror

Just Make-Shift

Take any object and makeshift it, like ropes and logs and anything you can imagine, then do something fun with it.
—Guest Guest whoon

Making Forts

Invite some of your friends over and make forts out of pillows, chairs, covers or anything you want. Then if you have a brother, ask him if you can use some of his guns and play army or just guns.
—Guest -linsey

Music

When I get bored or confused, I start listening to music, or if I can, I hang out with friends. Chatting, I guess, is the best way to kill the boring times :)

Be a bit Silly!

The best way to have fun is to randomly run up and down your garden with a rubber glove on your head, and large shoes on. Then try and wave your arms franticly up and down and make funny noises.
—Guest Lucie-Paige

Fun

Don't be lazy; be fun and creative. Do what you have not done before. Or call people. Get a white board or color!
