3 Boredom Buster Ideas for Kids Ages 10-12

 Sometimes life is boring as a kid ages 10-12. That's why this blog is here to help! Have fun reading these 3 ideas: 1. Make up a Language Making your own language is so much fun.

For example: Old word = New way to say it Eat = Halloween Candy = Eat Trick-or-Treat = Candy Let = Computer Go = Dinner We = Mice Can = Cube After = Door ML (Mixed Language) Sentences: Computer('s) dinner candy(ing).

Make an Ottendorf Cipher!

 Have you ever seen National Treasure? Well the code that they found on the back of the Declaration of Independence (for the record, the code isn't on the back of the declaration) is called an Ottendorf cipher. Creating this fun new code will be an awesome boredom buster for you or your kids! An Ottendorf could consist of the following chapter(or paragraph)/sentence/word/letter.  For example, we will use these quotes by Benjamin Franklin. 1. "Take time for all things. Great haste makes great waste." 2. "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." 3. "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." 4. "Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late." The cipher would look something like this: For this cipher we will use 1-4/sentence/word. 3/1/4  1/2/3  2/1/7  4/1/11. Now it's time to create your own! Once you write a message, give it to a friend or sibling. Have fun with it!
