In each season, there's an opportunity to help your neighbors with their yards (ask your parents for permission first). In fall, you can rake leaves; in winter, you can shovel snow; in spring, you can plant some flowers; and in summer, you can water the plants. Charge $5 an hour. It'll be good to get fresh air and exercise, too.

With a group of friends, have each player write a person, a place, and a thing on a slip of paper. Put the slips into a basket or bowl. One player will draw a slip of paper, and then you all have to try to make up a silly skit about it!

Dip pretzels in chocolate-hazelnut spread. It's a sweet and salty treat!

Ask your mom, your dad, or even your best friend to quiz you so that you will be ready for a test. Don't forget to review!

This is a neat way to represent how long you have been friends with someone. On a piece of string or cording, string on beads, one for each year you have been friends. You and your friend can each wear a bracelet and add a bead every year. She's sure to love it!

When the parent of the child leaves, don't be alarmed if she cries. Try talking to her or do something together such as having her show you her room, playing a game, or reading a book.

When you have to clean your room, make it a lot more fun. Turn on music you enjoy and dance around while you clean! It will make organizing your room a lot more enjoyable.
