\"Boredom<\/p>\n

With the advent of summer, I’m sharing a list of boredom busters<\/a> today. Most of our lessons are winding down for this school year. We’ll keep the basics going during the next ten weeks, but will take a needed break from history, science, and grammar. The abbreviated schedule will give both Mom and kids time to work on non-school related projects.<\/p>\n

Some of our children (including the boy pictured on this printable) are never at a loss for things to do or stuff to make or games to play. Their only problem is finding time to fit it all in, or picking and choosing which project to focus on at any given moment.<\/p>\n

We have other children, though, who seem overly-susceptible to boredom<\/a>, especially when their access to electronics has been restricted. These little guys would spend the entire summer playing videogames if we’d allow it. But we don’t. They are granted 15 minutes of computer games per schoolday (30 minutes on the weekends), after which they must find other, tech-free things to do<\/a> with their time.<\/p>\n

Consequently, I hear, “What can I do now<\/em>, Mom?” much more often than I’d like. I’m beginning to sound like a broken record enumerating all the various options, so rather than keep having that conversation, I decided to create a handy little (printable) list of boredom busters<\/a> to which I new refer these stultified sons whenever they tell me there’s nothing to do<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nothing to do? Give our boredom busters a try!<\/h2>\n
