I understand that it's important it is for teens to relax and unwind from the zman in Yeshiva. After learning and helping, how do your sons unwind and use their down time? Any games for teens?
Amg suggestions is appreciated.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond with great ideas! I see that no fancy activities need to be planned, whatever they like is good. Extra work for some money is also a nice idea.
Asking Hashem for syata dishmaya to make this best out if the month at home.

Same. Or on his VR. Or shooting hoops outside. Or using his nerf guns to hunt his siblings. Or riding EZ riders around the hood. Or using his dirt bike. Go. Kart. Mini motorcycle. It's like he has so many options but there he is... Ma, I'm bored.
