Rainy Day? Feel like there is nothing to do? Well here are some ideas to get you having some fun even though the sun is not shining outside. Before you know it the rain will be gone and the sun will be back to play!

Need more tips? Check out Reena Das' rainy day activity recommendations for kids.

1. Make paper airplanes and fly them across the room.

2. Have your own film festival. Pick a theme and rent several action movies, or sci fi movies, or movies with the same actor in them.

3. Go to a museum or an aquarium

4. Do crossword puzzles - even make your own puzzles!

5. Try sudoku puzzles, fun for the whole family.

6. Play Scrabble, Monopoly or Candyland or another board game.

7. Bake cookies and give some to your family or friends.

8. Tell family stories and take the time to learn about family history.

15. Teach mom how to play the video game all the kids are playing.

16. Get pizza delivered for lunch and eat it picnic style on the floor.

17. Draw pictures to send to the grandparents and other relatives. Sit down and write actual letters to everyone.

19. Watch the Discovery channel and learn about animals and nature.

20. Write a funny story together, everyone writing one sentence until you get to "The End".
