Unfortunately being bored is one of those things that can happen to us all.
A friend cancels a meet up you had planned earlier within the week and all of a sudden we find ourselves in a bit of a fix without something to do and boredom gets the chance to stick its ugly head in.
If you find yourself in this situation then perhaps the following list of things to do when you are bored can come in to play and help you out.
The three ideas below can be useful if you are stuck inside: - Have a go at setting free the artist within by sketching a self-portrait using paints or a pencil and a nearby mirror.
Why not try to put together three altogether different portraits.
First a fun way to start is to try to and complete your picture by using only a solitary continuous line, this also helps you loosed up.
Maybe the next image can be carried out using a piece of charcoal in black and white and the third method by using crayons or colored paint.
- Playing free online arcade games can often be a good boredom cure.
You will find that the Internet is jam-packed and loaded full with many varied styles of pleasurable and fun games that gamers can quickly get involved with.
How about trying racing style cars, or maybe off-road dirt based motorbikes, defense style testing games, escape designed puzzles, interactive dress up games plus a good deal more all you need to do is start searching on Google.
- What about trying to learn how to do two some new and cool break dancing moves.
Break dancing is not just cool it has the advantage of making a long and lasting impression on those who see it, so it would be wise to use some of the time you find yourself having by trying out some tricks.
A good place to start would be to search on YouTube for break dancer moves.
If it is not to wet and your able to go outside then these ideas may help: - Have a go at building your own kite to fly.
Kite creation believe it or not, is a skill adopted by our forefathers around three thousand years ago and furthermore the kite flying is currently enjoying a rebirth.
To build and create your own kite is something that costs almost nothing, use some of the free online video providers to search for an easy beginners guide to kite building and you will see what I mean.
- Make your own mini volcano! Not as difficult as it sounds, all you need is a one liter bottle of Diet Coke (full), a sheet or two of thick paper or card as well as five of those popular Mentos mints.
First things first, simply undo the bottle of Coke, then put a small cut out square of the paper or card over the actual bottle opening on the neck.
After this you will need to build a way of loading the mints.
The best way to do this is to roll a tube with a piece of paper (or card), into a diameter a tiny bit larger than the actual diameter of the mints.
Once complete this loading system will be placed on top of the square paper which should be on top of the Coke bottle neck.
Nearly there now, all you need to do is set all the mints into the tube to arm the volcano explosion! To kick things off you will need to quickly pull the square paper out from under the mint tube which in turn will allow the mints to dice into the Coke bottle.
Next you will need to run as very quickly you will have a cool and somewhat amazing Coke volcano happening in your very own back yard! - The last idea to help kick boredom into touch is to have a go at modifying your push bike into a noisy and fun motorcycle! This is simple and effective and all you will need to do this is to find some rigid type card, after which you cut it into a rectangle based shape, no need to be to neat.
This cut card should be long enough to then reach from the bike rear forks to the actual spokes.
Then attach it to the forks using a peg and some tape.
With the bike turned upside down test the fixing by spinning the cycle wheel and adjust to try to achieve the best motorbike sounding noise.
Up the bike and take it for a spin!
