Give me an idea....Anything pleeeaaassseeee

[DipseeDaisey]

I have ran out of things to do, DS (11) and I have been in all the local walks, I have sorted all cupboards/wardrobes/drawers. The garden has never looked so neat and tidy....Please give me ideas of what we can do.
DS has school work to do which keeps him busy for the morning, we need things that will fill the afternoons....Please help

Scavenger hunts?

Geocaching adds a bit of interest to walks if people have done it in your area

Pick a country, and have a themed day - learn a bit about it, make their typical food for dinner

Get DS to help you plan things to do once lockdown ends, like holidays?

Can you not just stick a film on or something. You don’t always need to be doing something.
Relax a bit.

Airfix models.
Learning to juggle.
Composing a wordsearch.

That's me out of ideas.

Go on a nature walk, identify wild flowers, trees, any birds visible, take photos so you can look them up when back home. Try to spot local industry of the past, maybe in street or building names.

Find out how old your local church is, does it have any old family memorials, any brasses you could rub (quite time consuming) any interesting grave stones.
