I’m Bored Christmas Edition

It’s time for I’m Bored Christmas Edition. Because, it is official. It is Christmas break at our house. And that means I’ll be hearing, “I’m bored!” before we’ve even finished breakfast. When holiday homeschooling, this can be a struggle. The usual routine is gone and we need a bit of structure for our day. Even for Christmas school.

So we’ve decided to resurrect the I’m Bored Jar we used this summer and fill it with Christmas activities. For the homeschool mom that needs a break and children that need ideas, here a great list to start with!

I’m Bored Christmas Edition

You can make your I’m Bored Christmas Edition jar your very own. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Make cookies
  • Wrap presents
  • Make paper snowflakes
  • Color Christmas pictures
  • Put together an art box to give as a gift
  • Make cards for friends and family
  • Draw a Christmas Wreath with chalk pastels
  • Put together a box of food for a local food pantry
  • If You Take a Mouse to the Movies Hands On Activities
  • Learn and sing favorite Christmas hymns
  • Make ornaments
  • Sit by the fire and read Christmas stories
  • Read and watch The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
  • Enjoy The Nutcracker Unity Study
  • Learn about who St. Nicholas was
  • Drink some hot chocolate, watch Polar Express, create some art and have a hot chocolate party
  • Read and watch The Grinch and learn how to draw the Grinch
  • Have a pajama party
  • Make homemade gifts for the birds and bird lovers

The list could go on and on. These are things we want to each year anyway. But getting them in that jar means I won’t say, “maybe tomorrow.” I’ll say, “Yes! Let’s do that right now!”

What would you add to your jar for I’m Bored Christmas Edition? What would bless your homeschool family – or another family – this Christmas? What Christmas memories do you hope to make? This could turn into a Christmas bucket list as well!

    Great idea, thank you for sharing. My son gets out for Christmas break next week and I’m sure I’ll hear that a lot.
