Hello, dears!
I’M BACK! And I’m SO happy to be back, because I have some very exciting news! Clara, Megan, K. A., and I have been working on a secret project for months now, and we are FINALLY ready to show it to you guys! *grins* Ahem. I am proud to present… The Summer Bored Games!
The Summer Bored Games is a fun and creative way to bust boredom this summer, with dozens of wacky challenges, from thoughtful missions to completely random activities. Collect points by completing challenges, and enter to win an awesome prize!
CHALLENGE HOSTS:
Clara // Clara & Co.
Megan // A Barefoot Gal
Allison // A Farm Girl’s Life
K. A. // Cuddly Critters Blog
CHALLENGE RULES:
We four hosts (Clara, K. A., Megan, and I) will take turns posting a challenge post, one a week, for the month of July.
Each post will include 35 challenges, ranging from 1-4 points each – the harder the challenge, the more points you earn! Super hard or courageous challenges earn you Mega Points, which means 10 points instead of 1-4.
Participants collect points by successfully completing challenges. You don’t have to do the challenges in the order we list them, and you obviously don’t have to do them all (but then you won’t get as many points). However, you must complete any weekly challenges in that week alone for those points to count. If you miss a week, feel free to do the challenges just for fun, but they won’t earn you any points toward the giveaway.
HOW TO REDEEM POINTS:
In each of the challenge posts, a survey will be provided that participants can use to send their points from the completed challenges to a host blogger for a chance to win a prize (host bloggers are not eligible for the prize). However, if a participant would rather conquer the challenges just for fun and not win a prize, they can simply complete the challenges however they wish and not worry about keeping track of points.
PRIZES:
Prizes come in a three-tier winner system. Participants are entered for a chance to win the prize corresponding to their point range.
If, at the end of the challenge, you have 0-50 points, you are not eligible to win a prize. If you are in the lowest prize tier, which is for participants with 51-250 points, you have a chance of winning a $5 Amazon gift card. If you are in the middle prize tier, which is for participants with 251-400 points, you have a chance of winning a $10 Amazon gift card. If you are in the top prize tier, which is for participants with 401+ points, you have a chance of winning a $15 Amazon gift card.
At the end of the challenge, we’ll tally up each participant’s total points, fit them into the proper point tier, and random-generate the winners. If you work hard, you can earn yourself more of a chance for more of a prize!
DATES:
Challenge Post #1: Clara & Co. on July 2nd
Challenge Post #2: A Barefoot Gal on July 9th
Challenge Post #3: A Farm Girl’s Life on July 16th
Challenge Post #4: Cuddly Critters Blog on July 23rd
Challenge Winners: Clara & Co., A Barefoot Gal, A Farm Girl’s Life, and Cuddly Critters Blog on July 30th
HOW TO SIGN UP:
-
The challenge is open to participants worldwide, and to ages 10-18.
-
Please get a parent’s permission before signing up.
-
Please sign up just once, on any one (but not more than one) of the hosts’ blogs.
-
Sign up to participate in the Summer Bored Games 2018 with the contact form below! (If you’re on WordPress Reader, the contact form probably won’t show up until you visit my actual blog.)
If you’re excited for The Summer Bored Games and want to let others in on the fun, we’d quite appreciate if you could share this post to Pinterest, Facebook, or other social media, repost it on your blog, or tell your family and friends! Even if you don’t win a prize, you can still have fun competing with your siblings or friends to see who can get the most points. 🙂
IN CONCLUSION:
Here’s a helpful (and pin-able) infographic to sum up the information above. 😀
So. Are you usually bored during summer? Do you think the Summer Bored Games sounds fun? Will you sign up? ARE YOU EXCITED?!
Thanks so much for reading, dears, and have a lovely day!

Ha ha, good question. Megan and Clara sent each other challenges in their letters, so one day I thought it would be fun to do something like that on my blog. And then I talked to the other hosts and Clara said she had been thinking the same thing! So… it’s kind of hard to tell. 😛

Hurrah! Well we’ll have a link to a survey/poll thingy with a checklist, and you check off any challenges you did and send it to us. Then we’ll count up your points. And yep! We’ll have a place to optionally submit a picture if you want. Hopefully that helped, but if you’re still confused, don’t worry – we’ll explain how to use the survey in more detail with the first challenge post. 🙂 Thanks for signing up!

Basically you complete boredom busters to earn points, and the more points you earn, the more chance you have to win a good prize! But thanks – we will have fun! 😀
