Your Day Without Electronics

Its Your Choice

There are many things you can do without looking browsing the internet, playing video games or watching TV. For those who do any of those things everyday, it might be hard to give it up for a day. With some ideas, I think you should be able to do something to avoid using any electronics.

There are many things you can do without going near the computer, videogames, cell phone, ipod, movies, or the TV. I challenge you to try going a day without doing any of those things with screens to stare at. You may actually even enjoy it. Maybe you can do those types of things you are used to one day a week. If none of these ideas interest you, just try spending quality time with your friends or family. Try it! What do you have to lose?

Enjoy the Outdoors

First off, why don't you go get some exercise? Play baseball, soccer, just about any sport outside. If not into any of those sports, go on a walk or take a bike ride around town. Even if you are in the mood, drive to the downtown area around you and go walk around there and enjoy the moment. Even if it's raining or too cold to go outside, there are many other things you can do without even going near the electronical items. Do something as a family so that everyone will have a great time.

Hit the outdoors and go camping. There is so much you can do while camping. You can look at the nature, take hikes, fish (if allowed), and play baseball, softball, kickball, and/or soccer. You can get a lot of outdoors type things done in just one outing. Plus, it is so much fun. A good thing to do with the family. Go one, get your self away from the cellphones

Soccer

This is a Great Way to Release Some Energy

Soccer is a very good sport to play. If you practice well enough you can get good at it. I love playing soccer around my area. The team I was recently on had all of my friends from school. All you need is some shinguards and a ball, then you are good to go. If you are just goofing around playing it you wont need shinguards. Some soccer leagues require soccer cleats, also. I love playing soccer in my backyard because it it long enough. Soccer is a game you can play around and have fun. Recently, I was playing in the snow in the dark. It was very fun but hard kicking the ball. My family and I were just all having a good time playing. So why not, give soccer a chance.

Softball

Enjoy a Game to play With Friends

Softball is a game that people can do for fun, locally, or for competition. If you have never played this game before I would start do play for fun before you do the competition. The game is like baseball except it is a little different. I love playing this sport because you can meet new friends. This also would take a little practice to learn what to actually do and get really good at. If you are up to a challenge this is something to do.

Board Games

Even though you can do things outside, you might just want to stay in for the day. You can do a craft, draw, play a board game with the family. You can even take a nap. To keep yourself stay warm during the winter, have a fire inside your house and cuddle up and enjoy the book you are reading. You might even have puzzles that you haven't done in a long time, work on that. It will give you a couple hours of entertainment. Why not try doing sudoku, crosswords or even word searches.

Monopoly

This is also a great classic board game. I am almost really sure that you have heard of, if not played at least one version of monopoly. Monopoly is a game of chance and good money saving and buying. It's almost like the real deal. You find out what land you can purchase and what land you can't. I learned that in the beginning you want to purchase all of the areas that you can. Just be careful, your opponents will have you pay rent if you land on theirs.

Risk

Enjoy Hours of Fun with this Game

Risk is a fun game for the whole family to enjoy. The littler ones may need a little help, but it is not that hard. The think I like about risk is that it helps with strategy. This is a very stragetic type game. You want to try to take over the world, but still keep your self protected from your opponents. You never know what may happen. Trust me, I have played it recently and I took over a couple areas and then another opponent came back from owning a couple countries. So I would be careful.

Uno Games

Uno, There are so many versions of this and all of them.

Everyone should have some kind of recognition of the original version of uno. Uno is a game of a little strategy to help you get rid of all your cards. There are more different ways there are played. Like Uno Attack or Uno Spin. I have played both of those games including the original. Like all games, they all have different twists to them.

This is for just about anyone in the family, from 2 to 82. Its based off of an original card game called Rummy. Only, the game is played with little cube tiles. Your objective is to get rid of all your cards before anybody else by stting up runs. The runs are the certain patterns you have to make in order to be able to lay your cube tiles down. So will you be the first one to get rid of them all, or will somebody else?

Go to a Concert

Another great way to get the family together.

What's a better way then going to a concert listening to the music you all enjoy. It is a good bond for the family. Just have fun with this. I don't think there is anything better than this. There are plenty of concerts that you can find around you. All you need to do is figure out when to do it, find the music that you like and something that will fit your budget. Go out and get it
