Gardening

Gardening is a wonderful hobby that can teach you about different kinds of plants and their basic requirements for growth. You can also learn about different planting and propagating techniques, different kinds of soils and manures used and this knowledge will help you well in school.

Learn how to play a musical instrument

If you have an interest in music, use this summer vacation to learn how to play a musical instrument. Extra-curricular activities are always helpful, be it in school or outside. Your new talent will win you new friends and make you popular.

Support a Cause

Do charity or help out an orphanage. Spend some time with some underprivileged children. You can also share some of your toys and clothes and play with them. Get all your friends and spend a day at such a place.

Make a summer scrapbook

Put your photography skills to test. Click interesting pictures and paste them in a scrapbook. You can keep adding more pictures and notes to this as the years go by. Your scrapbook will make a good memoir when you grow up.
