One word I don't like hearing from my children is: BORED. Does anyone have suggestions for what children can do during free time-including Chol Hamoed?

Some kids can keep themselfes busy and some don't. But all kids need direction where to start. That is YOUR job. There is a great book called:
IMA, I'M BORED. (get it in any jewish book store) with some great ideas. My youngest kids (ages 8 and 10) will ask me for ideas and I sometime take ideas from that book. After that, they go on their own.

when I was a teenager and bored I never wanted to do volunteer work when we say bored we mean we want to do something fun no? not to clean and do errands.
