Cash them out, then either re-invest the proceeds in more bonds or put it in a money market. But mature bonds do not collect interest, so don't leave it.

You will need to cash them in when they mature. Most savings bonds do not continue to increase in value as they age and have fixed maturity dates. When they mature, go to a bank and cash them in.
