Introduction: Things to Do When You're Bored on a Rainy Day and Stuck at Home With Practically Nothing to Do
Forget the old saying: "It's raining cats and dogs". Is it more like raining tables and chairs? Can't go out with your friends? Can't go the movies? So you're stuck at home in your seat surfing the web. Boring! Well, here are some suggestions to become unbored (if that was even a word lol). Hope you enjoy!

Step 2: Build a Blanket Fort
Who doesn't love blanket forts? Take some permission, some pillows, some blankets, some chairs and stools, some imagination, some books or other heavy objects, a playmate (a sibling in case a friend can't come over), and a name for your fort! But make sure you don't block the doorway! You will also need some snacks, games, and other fun things to keep you and your playmate entertained!
Step 3: Movie
Just in case you can't go to the movies, there's nothing more relaxing than fixing up some popcorn (if you're not allowed to use the stove, use the microwave), getting a glass of your favorite beverage, putting on a movie (if you're on the TV, watch HBO, Encore, Starz, etc.) and relaxing on the couch while you watch the movie.
Step 4: Origami
Origami can be pretty useful if all you have is your two hands and a piece of paper. Remember that Google is your best friend on origami diagrams and tutorials. If you're in the mood for some cool pop up crafts with origami, then check out jeremyshaferorigami on YouTube.
Step 5: Make Simple Computer Games

Step 6: Music
Listen to music on the computer in two ways:
1: Download MP3s onto your computer and listen to it via Windows Media Player or iTunes.
2: Find a video of the lyrics or just the normal music video on YouTube.
You could just have a small dance in your seat, or if you're a die hard party animal, play it and dance around the room.
