10 Things You Can Do On A Rainy Day

Now that I'm back from my holiday I've got a lot of time working and a lot of time off to myself. Sometimes it's lovely to go out and about exploring but when it's really rainy, which happens a lot coming up to Autumn, it's hard to figure out what to do with yourself and still have fun!


I decided to make a list of things I like to do when it's rainy and I want to keep myself amused.

1. Build a blanket fort and have a movie day!
Any blanket's included, even pillows too! The best forts are the messiest ones, just build it around your TV or take your laptop in there with some popcorn and snacks then you're set for a movie day!

2. Sing!
Download the Smule Sing! app, all you need is a pair of headphones to hit all the notes and score points and it's really fun singing along with other people. It can keep me amused for hours, if you ever had Singstar or any singing games like that then you'll love this app.

3. Bake!
Even if it's not your thing, try baking a cake. You could even try cupcakes, muffins, cookies, anything that you like. It's really therapeutic and calming, it's fun to try new things so if you have baked before, try making something new.

4. Go outside!
You don't particularly have to stay inside on a rainy day! Try going outside and having a walk. The rain is very soothing and there's so many bugs and little animals that love the rain and come out for an adventure. You may even see a little family of ducks!

5. Plan a holiday!
Even if you can't go on one yet, plan one anyway. Somewhere you've been dreaming of going and everything you've wanted to do whilst there. It may inspire you to get saving.

6. Clean!
Now is a perfect time to start that spring clean you've been putting off. It's not like you're missing out on any sun out there and you'll feel so much better once you've got it finished. There's nothing wrong with being productive.

7. Home workouts!
Don't want to run through the rain to get to the gym? Stick a YouTube training video on or get on with your favourite exercises. Nobody's ever regretted working out and, like cleaning you'll definitely feel productive.

8. Board Games!
What better opportunity to whip out that dusty Twister game or the old Monopoly board under your bed? Invite some friends over or play with your family.

9. Indoor Olympics!
Clear your living room and get some indoor olympics games going. 'Pass the baton' with a tin of beans, egg and spoon race, get as creative as you want!

10. Draw/Investigate your family tree!
Have a look on websites such as Ancestry and discover your family history, it'll be really interesting to know your roots and you can draw your family tree to give yourself a visual image of how far your roots go back!

So there you have it, ten things to do the next time you don't know what to do with yourself on a rainy day!

Until next time...
