How many days or even hours into summer break is it before you say “I’m bored. There’s nothing to do!” Before you roll your eyes and sigh loudly, hoping Mom will get the hint, try this sanity saver: the Boredom Bowl. Choose a fish bowl, hat, or any other container. This will be your Boredom Bowl. Now, try to think of a bunch of summertime activities. What do you love to do on a hot summer day? Write on a piece of paper, fold it and drop it into the Boredom Bowl. It’s that simple. What could you do if it’s raining or you do something horrid, like break your ankle? Write it down! Think of things that are free, cheap, or even that cost a few bucks. Write each one on a separate piece of paper and put it in the bowl. Keep the bowl and several small pieces of paper on your desk or near your bed, so that the minute an idea pops into your head, you can write it down. Collect ideas and add to the bowl, so that by the time summer is here, you are ready. Whenever you think, “I’m bored!” reach in and pull out a boredom buster. Then, do it! Some ideas for boredom busters:
Go for a walk as a family (or with just one chosen family member.)
Go to the roller skating rink.
Play a board game (list each board game on separate pieces of paper.)

If you are planning a party, deciding on a theme that will please everyone is often the most difficult part, but a Stars Party can be adapted to fit any age, and the activities are just built right in! By definition, a Stars Party can easily be held outdoors, even at night, and extended outside from a more traditional indoors party. Consider having your party outdoors at a local park or outdoor gathering place with a pavilion.
