If you are looking for an interpretation of the euphemism "how to play with yourself", then look elsewhere (and let's be honest, it's not difficult to figure out what's what for yourself). On the other hand, if you're bored and can't find someone to keep you company, then read the guide below to figure out how you can have fun with yourself.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: At home

1. 1 Draw something. Everyone has imagination, but not everyone has good access to it. One of the best ways to tap into your imagination and have some fun on your own is to sit down at a table with pencils and pens, markers and crayons and start drawing. Have a lot of paper ready and don't stop: just draw and paint until you come across something you like. Build on this, add details (and colors if your drawing has colored elements), and keep developing the theme until you feel a sense of satisfaction.
   • You don't have to show your "art" to anyone if you don't want to. Just throw them away when you're done if you don't want to leave them behind.
2. 2 Play with the figurines. Playing with dolls, robots and other figures is a time-honored, traditional children's way of spending time, and it will be rightly said: this is a great way to keep yourself occupied when there is nothing else to do. If you do not have these toys, you can buy some, or make, or use decorative figurines. Give each of them names and titles and start moving them around to act out the story. Let everyone have their own voice and quirks.
   • Take a crumpled blanket or fold books to create decorations for your characters. For example, one of the figurines is a lone White Guardsman riding on horseback through a boxy canyon made from books. He does not yet know that the Reds are waiting for him ... The broomstick can serve as a bridge from which you will save someone. The possibilities are endless.
3. 3 Dance. You are at home, alone, so why not? Take something that will be a microphone, add sound and start shaking under it.You'd be surprised how much fun this can be. Playing different music, you will be surprised at your abilities (a small piece of classical music), and try not to stop under any circumstances. Let your body express the sounds and emotions of the song. This is a great way to cheer yourself up and also to warm up.
   • Before you come off to the fullest, make sure that the front door is closed, unless of course you want someone from your family to come in and see all this dancing frenzy. And open it every time you stop and try to make a serious face.
     • Trying to put on a serious face after dancing will make you laugh even more, but isn't that the point - to have a good time?
   • Clear enough free space before dancing. Once you start, it will be difficult to keep track of where your body is going.
4. 4 Play single player games. This includes single variations of social games. Probably the most popular single game is solitaire, a simple card game. In addition, there is also the Pyramid and the Spider. In addition to cards, you can play with glass balls (marbles), as well as checkers and even chess. Of course, there is not much competition here, but it is a great opportunity to understand and practice strategy. You can also throw hoops, darts, or practice billiards, provided you have the necessary equipment.
   • Marbles (glass marbles) for one are played like this: marbles are placed inside a circle in the shape of a cross, after which you try to knock out all the small ones with a large marble ("toe"). Can be played indoors as long as you have a square ring ribbon and a surface that is smooth enough to be able to throw.
     1. • A large list of card games, variations of solitaire (solitaire), can be found here. Please note that not every version of this game is clearly explained. on Wikipedia. Please note that not every version of this game is clearly explained.
   • Branded games like Magic: the Gathering and other collectible card games can also be played on one in the same vein as checkers and chess. It's also a great way to test strategy and balance.
   • With music in the background, time will fly by while you play with yourself and you won't have time to notice. Just memorize the length of the music list or album to get a sense of how long it will take when the music stops.
5. 5 Play video games. They are more common today than ever. Even if you don't have a console (Wii or PlayStation3) to play with, there are plenty of games for your phone or computer. Most of them are designed for one player. Some can be played against other players online; a small part is designed for playing with friends (races or fights). Avoid this type of game if you really want to enjoy the game alone, look for something in the style of action adventure or RPG.
   • There are many free online games. There is a rich selection of classic and fresh games here, for younger children look here, navigating may not be easy, but there you will find some lesser known (but interesting) types of games.
     • Some free games offer you to pay money to unlock additional features or benefits. Don't pay for anything unless you are 100% sure you want it. Remember, this is just an internet game.
   • Don't write off old game consoles. Lots of fun games were made for consoles like the NES, Sega Genesis, and the original PlayStation. These games and systems for them can often be bought for ridiculous money at sales and junk markets.
6. 6 Use hobby kits. If you have free time with no one to share, why not put together something or decorate for fun? Try glueing and decorating a model airplane or car, or build a model rocket from a kit and launch it outside the nearest school all weekend. Some craft stores even offer such kits from which you can assemble a working robot, grow neon crystals in water, and many other fun and unusual things. Most of the kits don't cost that much and will give you the opportunity to have a great day.
   • Other sets may include sand art, jewelry making, and dream catchers. Go shopping and see what there is.
   • You can also build your own "kit" by purchasing the main parts and placing them in a box or bag. Try making your own scented soap or bath salts, beeswax candles, a designer T-shirt with stickers and prints, or even wine (if you're old enough).

Method 2 of 3: Outside the Home

1. 1 Play sports games for one. With a springy sword, you can easily play handball with yourself: find a wall and throw the ball at it at different angles, trying to prevent the ball from falling and lingering in your hands. You can throw balls at the basketball hoop if the court is not occupied by anyone. Practice your soccer technique by running across the field and dribbling the ball in front of you, or develop your speed by doing quick runs to and from a point. ...
   • You can also play less traditional sports. Try to keep the footbag / sox in the air for as long as you can, throw a flying disc (frisbee), or play horseshoes with yourself if there is a playground in the vicinity.
   • If there is a place in the vicinity where you can shoot archery, this is a great sport for one. Archery equipment can be a little expensive to purchase, but don't overpay, go for an entry-level one.
2. 2 Explore. Whether it's by car, bike or walking, exploring can be a fun way to spend time in the surrounding area. Pick a direction and just hit the road. For an even more unusual experience, head to a park with an area with trees and throw a ball or frisbee as far as possible, and then go look for it. Follow him and repeat this until you cross the forest.
   • Read the signs carefully. In some parks, you cannot walk on the ground outside of specially paved paths. Always respect the rules.
   • If you plan on going out of town to explore, make sure you have a compass and a map with you and you know how to use it all. This skill is called orientation. It's easy to learn and can save your life.
3. 3 Go downhill. This is another popular pastime for kids all over the place. By letting gravity do its job, you can enjoy the speed without much effort. If you live where there is snow nearby, buy a sled or something similar and go for a ride. If there is a park near you, find a hill there and roll off it (but make sure there are no dog poop there first).
   • You can bring your bike or scooter to go down even faster, but make sure there are no other people in your path at the bottom of the hill. It will take much longer to stop a speeding bike than a rolling body.
4. 4 See the sights. Use your car, bike or public transport to explore the local attractions and beauty. Get your camera or camera phone and click every view or beautiful place you find. Even a simple walk through the streets can suddenly present you with a photograph of an unexpectedly beautiful house or courtyard. Save all the records of your walks, and come to the most beautiful places every few months to see how they change with the change of seasons.
   • To turn sightseeing into a game, look for unusual things (rare flower or four-leaf clover) in the places you visit, and then try to compare them with photos of the same features in other parts of the city. If you have a good eye for detail, you can spend months searching and comparing these kinds of things.
5. 5 Observing people. One of the best ways to spend time away from home is to sit on a bench near a busy street and watch the stream of people.Mark their clothes, faces, body language, as well as the accessories they have and the directions in which they are moving. Try adding details to their lives, such as whether they secretly wear crazy socks to work, or what they think of jazz. Turn them into characters in your head. This is much more interesting than you might think now, when you read about it.
   • You can turn observing people into a game, using the same method as sightseeing.
   • No need to stare defiantly at people. The goal is to remain unnoticed so that you can continue to enjoy the outdoors and watch people. Consider grabbing a cup of coffee or tea with you, so you will always have something to quickly turn your attention to.

Method 3 of 3: Shopping

1. 1 Explore. If you are going on a long shopping trip, you will be there with those who are busy with what you are not interested in. Correct the situation by calling others with you, and schedule a meeting and return. Stop and be distracted by whatever you can. Even if it seems like there is nothing interesting here, you can always find things to linger on. Try to read the composition of products or tags with the names of manufacturers, for example.
   • Remember that you can also go outside and see what is happening around.
   • Make sure the person you came with heard and understood what time and where you are going back. Ask him to repeat the conditions so that both of you are sure of the collection point.
   • If you are young enough, you can just sit in a corner and play with model cars or small toys. Don't think about spending your time this way if you're a teenager or older.
2. 2 Play pocket games. Between a phone and a handheld console like the Nintendo 3DS, there is still a lot to play with. Prepare ahead and bring another game or even two if you get stuck on the first. If you can't find a place to sit and play, check the street benches in front of the building, or chairs near toilets or dressing rooms.
   • # * Just like with the console at home, do not forget the old pocket consoles available for relatively little money, for which there are also many exciting games invented. You don't have to buy the latest consoles to have fun.

Tips

• * Your imagination is your best friend when looking for ways to play with yourself. Read books and watch movies regularly to develop your imagination.
• In addition to playing games, you can work on developing a talent or hobby, such as playing an instrument, singing, or woodworking, to help you pass the time. This is not a game in the literal sense, but it can also be a lot of fun.

Warnings

• It can be tempting to wreak havoc in the store when you're bored - scrambling up shelves, rearranging and rearranging merchandise, rolling on a cart, wielding a paddle like a hook for removing clothes from the upper tiers. Such actions, while they may seem fun, are often dangerous. Store employees will rightly try to stop you for your own safety. You will also create a huge headache for the staff by making this mess. These people work hard to maintain and service the store. Don't make their life miserable just because you feel like fooling around a bit.
