11 Of The Best Rainy Day Ideas For When You're Bored And Have Nothing To Do

You take one look at the forecast and see that it is going to be a miserable day. You had plans to go out and do something outside, but now you can't? Now what?

Don't worry, the day isn't ruined. In fact, when it comes to activities, rainy days can be just as fun as sunny days or any other day. So, look no further because here are some great ideas to help cure any boredom or cabin fever that might make its way in.

1. Have a movie (or TV show) marathon

It's something that can keep everyone (yes, even the kid that says "can we do something" every five seconds) occupied and entertained.

2. Build a blanket fort

Then, try turning all of the lights off. Maybe this could be part of the movie marathon!

3. Indoor treasure hunt

Even if it is just random little trinkets, another good way to keep the kids busy for a few little while. And hey, a prize could always be handed out to the person who finds the most - maybe an extra dessert?

4. Clean up

Spend the day simply cleaning. it can be pretty entertaining to see what you find when you're bored!

5. Play board games or cards

This could be one of the best times to teach your kids new card games and maybe brush up on some of your own tricks. Board games have a way of bringing people together, whether it's for the best or worse, only time can tell.

6. Bake

Baking is always so much fun! Not only does it make the house smell good, but now you have some tasty treats.

7. Read a book

Sometimes, a good and entertaining book is all you need to get through a stormy day.

8. Indoor camping

This is a lot like building a fort, but much more cozy.

9. Mini golf course

This could bring all sorts of fun and can be a way to explore your house in a way that you haven't before.

10. If all else fails, go out and play in the rain

Yeah, it's not the most ideal of things to do, but it can be fun! Just remember to put on those raincoats and boots before heading outside.

11. Be happy when the sunshine finally does return.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
