12 Boredom Busting Activities for Kids

1. Wall Bop

Bop away boredom with Wall Bop.  To play, stick 26 Post-It notes, each with a different letter of the alphabet, on a closed door or wall.  Mark a “toss” line on the floor 5 or so feet away from the door.  Then, while standing on the line, have your kids toss a soft ball or rolled up pair of socks at the letters.  You can have your kids try to knock out spelling words or you can assign a point value to each letter and see who can earn the most points after a round of 10 tosses.  Keep moving the toss line back for a greater challenge.
