Many people feel that there aren't enough hours in the day, but once every four years, everyone is given an extra day on their calendars in February. Although Leap Day is designed to move the clock and calendar more in line with the Earth's rotation around the sun, which takes slightly longer than 365 days, it also can be an opportunity to have some fun or do something out of the ordinary. The following are some possible Leap Day activities.

People may take time off from work or school and enjoy a mental health day. They may spend the day engaged in hobbies or other activities.

Even if Leap Day isn't an official holiday, people may consider having a party to celebrate. They may figure out a theme for the event and then invite friends over for an extra day of revelry or relaxation.

Leap Day is a fitting time to learn about leaplings - people who were born on Feb. 29 during a leap year. Highlights magazine reports the odds of being a leapling is one in 1,461. Community members may find out if anyone they know is a leapling or research celebrity leaplings.

Kids may enjoy learning about the various animals that are good at leaping, such as frogs or flying squirrels. Children and adults can take turns doing their own leaping long jumps to see who can leap the farthest.

Students can also practice math by dividing each family member's age by four to determine what age each would be had he or she been born on a Leap Day.

People may also commemorate Leap Day by doing everything in fours. They may enjoy four scoops of ice cream, commit to a four-hour hike, go out to lunch or dinner as part of a party of four, or complete a movie marathon that adds up to four hours of cinema.

People may also leap into community service. They may find out where they can volunteer their services and make Leap Day all about giving back.
