- Volunteer your time: Get into the Christmas spirit and volunteer for a charity (e.g. Kidney Kids). Pick something you feel strongly about: SPCA, Youthline, Salvation Army. You'll be giving the best gift by helping others in need and will get the opportunity to learn skills to add to your CV!
- Join a: Gym, youth group, language class, art class, dance class.
- Make gifts/cards for friends and family: Use your talents, artistic, construction, or baking to bake for friends and family. The best gifts are homemade!
- Get active: Organise a day out with mates, swimming, playing frisbee, walking, biking.
- Expand your mind! Visit the library!: Choose a book about a country, language, different culture, history, how to ... and learn!
- Make a movie: Even Peter Jackson had to start somewhere! So beg or borrow a video camera and get started!
- Get creative: Write a short story, poem, song, paint a picture. Express yourself!
- Have a picnic: Pack a picnic lunch, get some friends together and head to somewhere with a nice view, sit back, relax and enjoy!
- B'n'B: Grab a book and head out to the beach! Don't forget to slip, slop, slap - skin cancer isn't cool!
- Keep in touch: Write a letter to a long lost friend or relative. You never know you may get something back - and it's great to get mail in the post!
These fun-filled activities originally came in the Waitakere City Council Libraries (Edition: December 2006), and I simply copied them out here. The real credit goes to the Libraries for inventing these.
