Winter Activities for Teens

Seasonal sports such as skiing and snowboarding are some of the most popular pastimes for teens during the winter. However, there is much more that you can do with your time during the chilly months. Winter can be a time for helping others, for improving your life or for kicking back with your friends. This winter, if you can't catch some air on the hills, consider other fun or enriching activities that you could be doing with your time.

Rearrange Your Space
- Clean your bedroom and rearrange the furniture to give yourself a new outlook on your personal space. You can use posters or make your own wall art for wall design. Consider how you could rearrange your furniture to make the room more user-friendly or utilize more exotic design principles such as feng shui. Organize your closets or drawer space to save space.
Hold a Winter Sports Fest
- There are plenty of sporting activities going on during the winter months. Make some snacks and invite a group of your friends over to a marathon of football or basketball on television. Holding a winter sports fest is particularly exciting during the Winter Olympics, as you only have an opportunity to do so once every four years.
Visit a Museum or Historical Site
- The holiday season is an opportunity to relax away from school for a few weeks. However, you may find it enriching to take an afternoon for an educational activity during your winter vacation. Visit a local museum or find a site of historical interest near your home, and spend a day learning about the history of the area you live in.
Become a Volunteer
- The holidays can be a lonely time for a lot of people. Spend some time at your local nursing home and visit with the elderly. Get involved in a community outreach program to help families in need during the holidays. Volunteering is a very small investment of time, but for the people you help or spend time with, it could mean the world.
Earn Money
- There are ample opportunities for an able-bodied teen to earn money during the winter. If you live in an area that receives snow, offer to shovel your neighbors' walkways for a small fee. If you become successful enough, you might even consider purchasing a snow blower, allowing you to gain an even greater number of customers. To increase your earnings even more, get up early on the morning after a heavy snowfall and offer to brush snow off cars or scrape ice for $5. You might be surprised by the number of people who take you up on the offer.
