Creative & Edible Projects

1. Build a planter and raise edible plants (potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, mint)
2. Cook something vegetarian (make an interesting fruit smoothie, parfait, or platter of food—decorate a board in a creative way)
3. Bake something difficult from scratch (e.g., sourdough), decorate a cake, cupcakes, or cookies in a creative way

Movement & Mindfulness

1. Do pushups and squats, yoga poses (sit still and breathe for ten minutes—think of what to do… try twenty minutes… try an hour!)

Music & Connection

1. Sing karaoke alongside music(on your phone, YouTube videos with lyrics, or a karaoke machine—pick favorite songs, learn to sing them without music or the real singer)
2. Phone a friend (have a purpose—chat about today, yesterday, or tomorrow; what went well, what didn’t, what can improve)

Outdoor & Social

1. Attend a local high school sports game (Baseball, Basketball, Football)
2. Ride a bike to the park and play catch (just catch, throw, and chat with a friend)
3. Build a kite and fly it up on a hill (use lots of string—100 meters or more!)

Reflection & Learning

1. Write in a journal, take pictures (save the pictures in a journal)
2. Learn new things (language, instruments, engineering)
3. Read fairy tales, mythology, and sci-fi
4. Talk to extended family, go to church
