Make up quizzes and then sell them to friends and family. You could ask questions about animals, celebrities, or sports. This is a fun and unique way to make money.

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!

I love to eat this snack when I get home from school. On a plate, I include apple slices, peanut butter for dipping, and a few cheese cubes. It's a protein-packed snack, and it's very tasty, too.

I'm not great when it comes to memorizing information for a test, but I am good at memorizing song lyrics! So, I turn the facts into a song. Just make sure to use a song that sticks in your head--that makes it easier to remember the info.

Ask a parent's permission to decorate a plain pillowcase. Decorate it with fabric paint or tie-dye it with a parent's help. Let it dry, and you'll have a brand-new pillowcase for your bed.

When you are going to a house to babysit, ask the parents to write down their street address. In case of an emergency, you'll know the address, and it will be easier for help to come quickly.

Add some aloha spirit to your room! At a craft store, find some fabric tropical flowers, and use white poster putty to attach them to the corners of your closet, the sides of your mirror, or around your door. The flowers look great in my room!
