Question

It's a boring Sunday and I have nothing to do. What are some fun activities I can do inside?

Community Answer

Read a book, sketch, or learn how to knit or sew from YouTube videos. Go through your wardrobe and have a private fashion show, getting rid of clothes you no longer need or want. If all else fails, watch your favorite show on TV.

I'm a preteen, what are some appropriate websites that I can go on and have fun without showing my face?

Community Answer

I'm not familiar with any good websites, but any website where you need to make a profile picture just make it of a funny or pretty picture. If it requires to have you in it, take a picture of your hair or something like that.

Question

What are some clean, fun indoor activities that do not make a mess?

Community Answer

Build a pillow fort (just remember to put the pillows back). You could also draw or go on BuzzFeed and do some of the quizzes. Have a pamper party (face masks, foot scrubs, etc.). Or you could snuggle down with juice and snacks and put Netflix or films on!

Question

I'm bored on Sundays. What are the activities I can do?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

Sundays are a good opportunity to get stuck into a hobby, sport or activity that you can continue to do over several hours. Some examples include going for a bike ride, doing a hike, doing metal detecting at the beach, building something like a model, doing a woodwork project, baking cakes and cookies, visiting a friend or relative you haven't seen for a while, painting a portrait, starting a new book series, taking photographs of animals or views, and much, much more!
