Productive Hobbies for teens over the Summer

 


What are some of your favorite hobbies? Some would say a sport and others knitting. Except, what is a hobby? A hobby is an activity that people like doing in their spare time. Although some teens can get bored over the summer and have nothing to do anymore. So it is important to find hobbies that you enjoy and keep you busy. Here are some five productive summer hobbies from a teen herself

Reading

 Reading is a very popular hobby for many people. Reading is extremely enjoyable whether you are reading fiction or nonfiction also you can read anywhere like a backyard and you can read while watching a sunrise or sunset. Reading books gives people different perspectives, and ideas, and can entertain people as well. Also, people can explore a range of different topics like math, science, etc. This gives people the freedom to read whatever they want or are in the mood for. I love to read many topics such as animals, and history.
 Reading can not only teach you, it can also entertain you as well and open your mind to other perspectives. Some books (usually fiction) can take you to another world. These books can be fantasy, adventure, humor, along with others. Some of my favorite examples are the “Harry Potter” series, “Tom Sawyer”, and the “Lost World”. Teens sometimes need peace and reading is a great way to unwind.

Pick up a new sport

 A bunch of people all around the world love and play sports. Instead of watching sports try playing a sport with your family. Being a teen or any age, exercise is important to be healthy and happy. You can also learn a new sport and share it with your family. You can invite friends over and play any sport you want with them. Take advantage of the warm weather by playing a sport outside. Sports don't only improve your fitness but it also helps you clear your mind and solve a problem. 

Crocheting/Knitting

 Crocheting and knitting have been relaxing hobbies and are liked by many. I am a crocheter at heart and always love to unwind while creating a plush toy. A benefit of crocheting and knitting is that you can create many different things such as plush toys, clothes, etc. People can make things for themselves, as a gift, or as a product. If you always wanted to make a cute plush toy you saw on Pinterest then learn. It's not easy but in this day and age, we have YouTube, online courses, in-person courses, and kits. Crocheting and knitting can test your patience, help you unwind, and can help you make many things.

Chess

 Chess is a great way to spend your time over the Summer. Chess is a strategic game you can play with one other person and if you don't have anyone to play with you can either play with a computer online or against a random person on "Chesskid" or "Chess.com". Chess keeps your mind sharp and it's a fun game to play with a friend, family member, or a computer. Chess can be played in many different variations like bullet chess, slow chess, etc. You can also join a club at your local library and play tournaments. You can even win a prize! Chess is an enjoyable hobby and can keep your mind sharp.

Writing

Writing is a way many people express themselves like in a book or in a blog (like this one). You can share your writing anywhere with anyone. Like a family member or a friend. You can post your writing on social media and share your writing with random people online. Writing is a great and popular way people share their thoughts and opinions. Also writing shares people's imaginations and experiences. Writing is a great way people can share ideas and knowledge with each other. Writing is a productive and fun hobby.
