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

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

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
