Flowers blooming, temperatures rising yet still cool, and allergy season starting to come back. These things are all some of the many joys of spring! But even though those may be some joys of spring, the activities are the best part! Now you may be asking, what springtime activities could I do? Well here are some ideas.

First off, we have water which has many fun things you can do. One thing you can do with water is have a water balloon fight. They can be an innocent fight with your friends or a battle to the death with your sibling! Another water activity is when the sprinklers are on, try to run and dodge getting doused by water. With this, you could also make your little obstacle course by dodging the water. Finally, one other fun water activity is having a water gunfight. It’s always fun to shoot your friends, family, or enemies with a water gun. It’s even more fun if you make it into water gun laser tag, so instead of lasers, you use water guns.

Though water is quite a fun activity, working can also be quite fun. With your friends, you can make either a homemade lemonade stand. With this, you could either try to sell lemonade, one or two people could be tending the stand and everyone else trying to encourage people to come to their stand. Or you could try to battle whoever makes the most money. You can even add some rules, 1. You have to sell it at the same price 2. An equal amount of promotion 3. If you want a real challenge, make sure both of your lemonade stands are right next to each other. Another fun thing to do is start a hand-wash car wash with your friends to earn a couple of bucks.

But if working isn’t your cup of tea, maybe sports are. One fun sport you could do is corn hole. Corn hole is a game where you have to throw a bean bag onto the board or into the hole. Another one is just playing a simple game of tag; you get your exercise in and have fun while doing it. Soccer along with football is also a fun one to play with friends. With these games too, you can make a prize for the winning team to give the game more competition.

Though sports can be fun, here are some calm outdoor activities you can do. One is planting flowers. This not only helps with nature but it also can be beautiful decorations. Another one is making a garden, with this you can grow your food which always tastes fresher and it’s a fun way to pass the time. Another idea is if you have a trampoline, you can build a blanket fort by using the sides of the trampoline and sleep under the stars.

There are also very fun indoor activities too. You could print out springtime coloring pages and color them which is a calming and relaxing activity. Another one is cleaning. Now I know cleaning isn’t very fun, but if you want to make it more fun you can get a friend over and either make it a competition or just someone to help make it go faster. But even if you don’t have a friend to invite over, it can still be fun. If you put on some music and jam out while cleaning, that also makes it fun. Just remember to give yourself a break from time to time, I recommend taking 15-30-minute breaks between activities.

Now there are many fun activities you can do, so don’t just sit inside and do nothing. Instead, make the most of life and find some fun activities to do while you can.
