AIBU to ask for ideas on how to amuse a 13 year old?

[OwlBang]

I say 'amuse.' I know he's not 3.

He's bored. After the school work, he feels at a loose end and would happily sit on his Xbox - where all his mates arena lot of the time - or watch his iPad. I'm looking for some fun or engaging stuff for him. He's quite a typical young teenager so eye rolls at a few things I suggest but he does come in a walk with me once a day and happily chats away and he joins in the family quiz each night

What are your young teenagers doing? My eldest is 21 and has a car and job so is otherwise occupied but I'm struggling to come up with anything better than baking or films!

Puzzles
Paint by numbers
Odd jobs in the house - hanging pictures, painting skirting boards, hemming curtains
Cooking for the freezer
Get him to make the quiz up?

Teach him how do to the house work and cook - although he should know this stuff by now. Or hand him a book and introduce him to a new author. Or - here's a novel idea - let him be bored so that he actively looks around for something that he fancies doing. He's more than old enough to entertain himself!

Buy him a whittling kit.

Big jigsaw.
Board/card games.
Swingball in the garden.
Get him to devise a picture round for the family quiz.

Coding, airfix models, exercise, documentary, art tutorial on YouTube

Ds does his schoolwork in the morning and in the afternoon goes in the garden for a bit. He has a bouncepad and football goal so can play quite well alone. When the weather isn’t so good we play a board game, or uno etc, and he’s working his way through the marvel films on Disney+. He goes on his Xbox about 4pm same as he would if he were at school.

One long boring summer holiday, 13 year old DS taught himself origami via YouTube, was absorbed in it for hours on end.

We got a new, unopened calligraphy set in a charity shop that he also taught himself via YouTube. He then wrote letters to relatives, sportsmen and women, public figures, book reviews, favourite poems, quotes etc etc using calligraphy (always been a bit quirky).

Have a 13 year old here, he's sorting himself out. He's on Easter holidays this week and next. Last week he got school work done in the morning, played some Xbox and was on his laptop. He's also been on bike rides (it is allowed before anyone shoots me). We are both working, so he has to sort himself out.

Our 18 year old is a Professional Self Isolator and has been as he says "binge watching House". God I hated that series!

Would he learn an instrument?

Cooking?

Teach him/you tube his favourite recipes or take away dishes

Online coding course?
My teens are mostly occupying themselves with bickering and reading.

15yo has suggested he might use YouTube to teach himself to service his bike.

My 14 year old reads, does Lego, simple jobs round house (tightening a loose towel rail, painting a wee dodgy patch, putting whitener on grout etc). But main thing is getting fitter!! He always kicked a ball about and stuff but wouldn’t have been one for exercising much but he’s started to do YouTube exercise sessions. He’s also got obsessed with a fitbit and reaching a set number of steps (just round house and garden).
I hope to do a little bit of basic cooking with him too.
