67 CHEAP FUN THINGS TO DO WHEN BORED ON THE WEEKEND
After a long week, you might not have the energy or the desire to do much on a Friday night. The good news is that there are a lot of low-key activities you can do alone, with family members, or with friends.
We have game nights regularly. We rotate between houses and pick board games that we each have. The games bring a new element to us catching up and helps us to create new memories going forward.
Live music is an excellent option if you want to get out of the house but don’t want to spend too much money. Plenty of bars and clubs have live music on the weekends.
Instead of going to a bar or a club, re-create the experience in your own living room! Put your favorite songs onto a playlist and turn the volume up. You can be as crazy as you want to be since you are in your home.
Card games can be a great option if you want something low-key. You can either play them with friends or family or play by yourself. And there are many options, including solitaire, bridge, spades, and more.
This idea will likely take you longer than just Friday night, but I put it here as it allows you the entire weekend to complete it. In some cases, you might rearrange the furniture.
Pool is a great thing to do with friends. It’s usually cheap to get in, and the games can last for hours. Plus, it’s a sport everyone can participate in, regardless of their skill level.
Renting a movie from Redbox or streaming one on Netflix is always an option when you’re bored. And if you want to get out of the house, many movie theaters offer matinee showings for a discounted price.
If you like trying new beers, visit a brewery in your town. With the popularity of craft brews, more and more small breweries are popping up all over the place.
You can either read something you’ve been meaning to read or find a new book that looks interesting. There are so many great books out there, and it’s a great way to escape reality for a little while.
Getting up on a Saturday morning and doing a workout is a great idea. The endorphins you get from a great workout class will carry you through your day.
Lastly, if you’re just not feeling up to doing anything, that’s okay. You can veg out on the couch, stare off into space, and zone out. You could even lie down and take a short nap.
