Find Things to Do When It's Raining

The weather forecast calls for rain for the entire day. Thunder booms outside, and you swore you saw a flash of lightning. Well, you can always have fun when it is raining outside.

Steps

Entertainment

  1. Watch television. Watch reruns or DVDs or catch up with missed episodes of your favorite TV shows.
  2. Play some games. Play board games, cards, video games, or computer games. You could even go online and play with others around the globe. There are countless websites for multi-player games and chatting. You could even make a new friend or two in the process.
    • Create your own game.

Going out

  1. Go to the movies with a group of friends.
  2. Go to the mall. You can find a new pair of jeans, buy a new t-shirt, get some new shoes, and grab a bite to eat.
  3. Go bowling. It's a fun way to spend time with family or friends.
  4. Go to a nice casual restaurant. For example, visit a deli, a fast food restaurant, or a coffee shop.
  5. Go to the airport and go to all the stores inside it. Go on the moving sidewalk for a really long time and watch the planes take off and land.
  6. Go go-karting
  7. Go out and play in the rain, as long as there is no lightning, hail, or any other danger outside. Splash in the puddles if you want.
    • If you're going out in a heavy shower, wear a coat and rubber boots.
  8. Go to the YMCA and swim or play basketball
    • Have a group of people to do the activities with you. It is more fun that way, but it is also fun to do things by yourself
  9. Exercise. Go to a local health club or just do some push ups or sit ups if you prefer.

Quiet activities

  1. Read. Read an enticing book, a magazine, or the newspaper. Reading is a fantastic way to pass the time for hours.
  2. Do your schoolwork or homework. Yeah, you got a huge study guide or algebra worksheet to complete. Why not do it during the gloomy weather?
  3. Do puzzles.
  4. Take a nap.
  5. Write. Write a song, poem, article, or essay. Be creative and let your imagination soar.
  6. Take a nice, long bubble bath to wash off all the puddle stuff.
  7. Do something for your pet. Clean its cage, tank or bed, wash up its water and food bowls, make a toy or simply play with it.

Catching up

  1. Talk on the phone. Call your girlfriend or boyfriend and chat.
  2. Skype a relative or a friend whom you haven't seen in a long time. Make use of the bad weather to catch up with people you miss.

Tips

  • Keep the TV viewing to a minimum. Just because it's raining doesn't give you an excuse to be a couch slouch!
  • If you have pets, play with them! Playing with pets makes the hours go by quicker.
  • Do some craft activities or make a game/puzzle with your siblings or parent.
  • Bake cookies, muffins, or any other goods.

Warnings

  • When chatting online, be cautious about whom you are talking to.
  • If there's lightning outside, do not be outdoors or stand near any windows.
  • Write as many warnings as you can think of. Then ask yourself why some people feel there is a need to create so many warnings for others.
