Raise money for a charity by having a bake sale. Get your friends together and bake your favorite treats. Then go with your friends and a parent to a school or local park and set up a table and chairs. Set a price for each treat you sell. Donate all of the money you collect to a charity.

One person is “It” and turns around so that she’s facing away from the group. Once she turns away, everyone moves around and dances. When It does look, the other players freeze like they’re statues. If It catches you moving, you’re out.

Make no-toast s'mores with teddy-bear-shaped graham crackers. In between two crackers, stack one small piece of chocolate and one mini marshmallow. Enjoy!

Which is faster, hot or cold?
Hot, of course--you can catch a cold!

When you study, think of ways to make it more fun. Sing your math facts as a funny song or read your social studies out loud in a silly voice.

Find an old pair of flip-flops. Wrap a pretty patterned ribbon around the flip-flop straps to give it a new look. Decorate the ribbon with adhesive gemstones or pom-poms, if you’d like.

If the child you are watching doesn't want to get ready for bed, play the bus game. Tell the child that you're the bus and that she needs to follow you around. Stop off at locations such as the bathroom to brush her teeth and the bedroom to change into pajamas. The last stop is the bed. She might have more fun getting ready for bed and go to sleep more easily.

Go to a craft store and buy a wall decal or wall art. With a parent’s permission, stick it on your walls. This will add a cute touch to your room.
