July is Anti-Boredom Month!

Hey readers,

Now that school is out, the days can feel long and slow. If you want to fight boredom this month, here are some fun activities you can do!

• Balloon badminton: tape two paper plates to two popsicle sticks to make badminton racquets, and use a balloon as your birdie! This activity is best played in an open space where you have room to hit the balloon back and forth.
• Chalk art: grab some chalk and head outside to make some good old fashioned chalk art! You can draw people, animals, words, or games like hopscotch.
• Paper plate ring toss: cut the middles out of paper plates to use as your rings, and set up a paper towel tube as your peg to throw the rings on. For some added fun, you can decorate your paper plate rings!

What is your favourite way to beat boredom? Let us know in the comments below!
