11 ways to leap into Leap Day

 

Check these out, too...

  • Get your draw on with the prettiest coloring book of the season
  • 10 ways to rock it this spring
  • 25 things to do before school lets out
  • 10-minute DIYs to dress up your bedroom
  • Throw a last-minute Memorial Day cookout
We’re sooo close to spring, we can practically feel the sunshine and smell the flowers! If you’re going a li’l stir crazy as winter draws to a close, take advantage of Leap Day with these pretty ridiculous (but, come on, totally fun) ideas to let your inner wild child run free. After all, it only comes once every four years.

 

Throw a trick on a trampoline

 

Grab a group of girls and guys, sit down in a circle and play “Down by the banks of the hanky panky.”

 

Find a bucket of chalk and play a game of hopscotch

 

Do a set of 10 frog jumps (or jump squats)

 

Watch Amy Adams in Leap Year

 

Dig up two jump ropes and a few friends, and go double-dutch

 

Raining? Rock your rainboots and go puddle jumping

 

Play leapfrog with your sibs

 

Do a late-winter Polar Bear Plunge. Bonus points if you can raise money for charity!

 

Head over to a local elementary school or park and play four-square

 

Impromptu dance party! Be sure to add “Shout” and “Cha Cha Slide” to your playlist.

 

What are you doing for Leap Day?

It always takes me sooo long to do my hw!!! Like hours every night, i dont know what im doing rong, no one else in my class takes this long, and the stuff isnt hard for me. I dont know where the time goes!!! PLease help! fast!

 

Hey girl! It sounds like you are very thorough when you are doing your homework--which is a good thing! If you want to try to cut down on time, I'd suggest doing your homework in an area where you can be completely focused. Do you have siblings that bother you while you're doing your work at home? Maybe try going to the library where you won't be interrupted. Eliminate all distractions, like your cellphone, TV, and computer (unless you are doing your homework on it!). Set a goal time for yourself; if you normally finish your homework in three hours, set a goal to finish in two and a half hours this week (and then make it two hours next week). 

 

Just remember that everyone learns and works at their own pace. My sister and I are taking a class together right now and we just had a test. She finished in 20 minutes and I finished in an hour! We ended up getting the same grade on the test, she just finished before I did. There's nothing wrong with that!
