Self Esteem in Teen

Sometimes teens need new suggestions for creative and affordable group activities. If you don't have a lot of extra money to spend, it can sometimes be hard to think of fun things to do with your group of friends. You can still have lots of fun with not a lot of money! Check out these free activity ideas for teens.

1.) Host a movie night with friends.

Get together at a friends house and have each guest bring a refreshment, whether it be soda or a fun movie-themed treat. Serve the food and watch the movie! This will save you tons of money instead of attending the local movie theater and spending $15-$20 a person.

2.) Start a book club.

It's easy to start! Get together a group of 3+ friends and pick a fun book title to read for your first meeting. One month later, get together and discuss the book. Serve fun snacks and don't forget to pick a title for your next book club meeting! Before you know it, you'll have a large group of friends interested in participating.

3.) Host a video game competition.

Get together a group of your gaming friends and have some friendly competition. Organize your game play into play offs and see who can win the most matches. Keep score and think up a fun prize for the champion!

4.) Play Sports

It may sound cheesy, but some really fun times can be had playing a casual game of softball or kickball at the local park. Make a day of it! Bring a large blanket and have a picnic to relax after the game.

5.) Volunteer for Charity

Instead of getting involved in charity by yourself, get together your friends and volunteer. It is a lot more fun to volunteer in a group then it is on your own. Find a charity that you all have an interest in or even alternate charities every month so everyone in your group of friends can introduce a new cause to everyone else in the group. Some ideas include volunteering at the human society, political campaigns, reading to schoolchildren, and volunteering at homeless shelters. Or, start your own charity! Raise awareness about important issues and hold book drives, clothing drives, etc.
