Do you feel bored with the upcoming summer? We asked parents for ideas for things that teens can do and here are some suggestions for fun activities for you to do in the summer.

#1________

    Visit older family members and interview them about the past of your family. You could use a smart phone to record some of the conversation. Things to ask about:

    What did you eat?

    •Who was your favorite family member?

    •What did you do to make yourself happy?

    •What was it like when you were a teenager?

#2_________

    Not only will you make your parents really happy, but you will find all those lost CDs /books /socks that are hidden under the bed.

    You can now have a yard sale for the things you no longer want, and make yourself some pocket money at the same time.

#3_________

    Put together a memory book. It could be about primary or junior school since you're heading to high school:

    •friends made     •best memories

    •favorite teachers     •favorite subjects

    •hopes /feelings about going to high school, etc.

Get down and work on the farm and have a bit of fun. You never know you might love driving tractors and feeding cows and horses. If nothing else, it will give you a good taste of what a hard life farming is.
