9 Fun Things to Do on a Rainy Day – My favourites!

Who on earth doesn’t love rains? Okay! May be quite a few people find rainfall (and this monsoon season) irritating! But me? I just love rains! Often people get bored and sick of watching rains. It is normal (or may be not). But I have few interesting activities which you can do, when you are at home on a rainy day.

P.S: I clicked this photo using my Canon 1300D camera, on a beautiful rainy day! 

Listing all the fun things to do on a rainy day here! Check it out 🙂

1: Time for a film festival

Well, I love to binge-watch my movies when it is a rainy day. Previously, we had CDs and DVDs giving us hard time to pick one and we had to watch movies again and again but now, its a nextflix-amazon prime age and it is full of option. Celebrate your own film festival on a rainy day. My favourite is either Harry Potter series or maybe some horror flick!

2: No-battery games

There are several games you can play that don’t require batteries. For example, board games, cards, rubick cube to name a few. Spend time playing games and relax your mind!

3: Journalling

Here is my favourite activity to do on a rainy day. I just love to write and journal when it is raining outside. I light a nice aroma candle or a diffuser with my favourite essential oil and sit to write my heart out, sitting by my window side. It feels amazing. Try!

4: Cook something

Oh! I love chai and pakoras when its raining. You too try cooking something that you love. Indulge yourself in cooking, enjoy every bit of it.

5: Rain Meditation

Some of you might think that this is not a ‘fun activity’! Well it is, if you ask me! And once you do this, you will want to do it again and again. Explained everything about Rain Meditation in my next post. Stay tuned.

6: DIY Craft

This is my another favourite thing to do on a rainy day! I simply cut and paste and try to re-use re-purpose old things to make something new like making planters, Candles etc. Otherwise, I do some craft work and scrapbooking!

7: Drawing and painting

Even if you are not a pro, you must try this one. Simple take a box of colours and a sheet and make your heart out. You can doodle, make beautiful patterns, try mandala art, make scenery – sky is the limit when it comes to drawing and painting. But to enjoy this activity to the fullest, make sure you sit by your window so that you can hear the rain and feel the droplets.

8: Try photography

Rain is one of my favourite things to capture. And even if you don’t have a DSLR, you can click nice photos and make videos from your phone camera. Try to capture the beauty of the rain, the drops on the plants or maybe the clouds.

9: Sleep

You might have laughed as you read this but sleeping to the sound of rain IS one of the most popular ways to relax and relieve stress. Even the youtube is full of rain sound for sleep videos. Simply lay by your window/door and close your eyes as you listen to the sound of rain. Trust me, you will feel amazingly relaxed when you wake up. I just love sleeping to the sound of rain, you too try once! It is the most FUN activity to do on a rainy day! 😉

Hope this helps!
