In our hectic schedule, most of us are craving for a one-day holiday. But, by some miracle, if we get a long holiday, we start getting bored on the second day itself. To refresh you up from your state of boredom, here is a list of things to do when bored.

Fun Things To Do When Home Alone
  • Glue some photos on used popsicle sticks and put on a puppet show.
  • Eat a few teaspoons of sweet sugar, soda, and soft drink and you will get a sugar rush that will make you hyperactive. It will give you a high and give you the energy to do things that you haven't thought of before.
  • Put on some makeup and paint your face as much as you like. You can even do your hair in some wild hairstyles or hairdos.
  • Get a bubble blower and make gigantic soap bubbles and then pop them.
  • One fun thing for kids to do at home is to blow bubbles with bubble gum. Blowing bubble gum is difficult, and it takes practice to produce a proper bubble.
  • Get a lollipop and count how many licks it takes to finish it. It depends on how fast you can lick the lollipop.
  • Make a prank call and play a joke on someone. Just call a friend who has a sense of humor and hang up as soon as he/she picks up the phone.
  • Make a funny answering machine message. For example, you can record a message in different voices by imitating the voices of famous people. Your friends will have fun and a good laugh over your mimicry attempts.
  • You can write poems or write lyrics to a song. The poem can be funny and short, and can be about anything.
  • An afternoon nap or a siesta will refreshe your mind and improve your overall alertness.
  • Plan road trip games that will make your summer vacation journey more fun.
  • Solve a puzzle that comes in the newspaper, such as Sudoku, Kakuro, Nonogram, or KenKen. This will work your brain and improve your mathematical and logical reasoning skills.

  • Make a list of a hundred things that make you happy. If you get bored doing it, start making a list of hundred things that don't make you happy. When you start getting sad because of those things, you can again switch to happy things!

  • Do a dance, such as the Macarena or the YMCA.
