Sporty Bracelets
To raise money for charity, you can make bracelets in the colors of the sports teams in your town or state. Sell each bracelet for 50 cents. I'm sure everyone will want one!
What animal can jump higher than a house?
Any animal-houses can't jump!
Teddy Boats
Ask an adult to cut an apple into slices, and then spread a little peanut butter on the apple slices. Put three chocolate bear-shaped cookies on each apple slice. It looks like bears are riding in apple boats!
Flower Power
Here's a fun way to show off your personality in your room. On a large piece of white paper, draw a large flower. In the center of the flower, use a black marker to write your name. Then, in each of the petals, write your hobbies, things you like, your favorite animals, and anything else about yourself. Color in the flower with crayons, and hang it up in your room.
Neat Trick
Here's a tip to get a kid to help clean up when he doesn't want to. Say, 'I could pick up your toys for you, but I don't know where they go. It would take me a very long time to do it, and then we wouldn't have time to watch a movie.'
Mini Makeover
This game works with three people or more. Pick a person to leave the room, and the rest of the players will each change one thing about their appearance. When the person who left comes back, she has to guess what has changed.
Snowless Snowperson
No matter the season, it's always fun to make an indoor snowperson! First, using a plain white piece of paper, cut three circles to create a snowperson, and glue the pieces together. Next, cut two eyes, a mouth, and buttons from black paper and a nose from orange paper. Use a glue stick to attach these parts onto the snowperson. Cut branches from brown construction paper and put those to the snowperson, too. If you like, cut a piece of paper to look like a hat and put it on the snowperson's head. Put your snowperson in your room, or ask a parent if you can put it on the refrigerator for everyone to see.
Family Matters
If you are being bullied in school, don't hide it from your family. Be sure to tell your parents. They will probably help you feel a lot better, and they might even speak to your teacher about it. Don't be embarrassed!
