Summer Fun Checklist
- Music, Dance, Karate, Art and other types of instructive classes are available - often at summer discounted prices - to keep kids occupied.
- Check out your local town website or supplemental newspaper to learn about classes, activities, and festivals happening in the summer months that cater to kids.
- Take the kids to the beach, pool, or waterpark.
- Add a picnic at your local park for a full day of fun.
- Plan a family camping trip.
- Escape the heat by taking the kids to a fun movie, storytime at the library or a ;kid-friendly museum.
- Baseball and Soccer games are often discounted in the summer, so this is a great option for your mini-sports fans.
- Explore the animal kingdom with a day at the zoo or butterfly park, or petting farm.
- Farmer's Markets can be a great place to learn, especially during summer months when there are festivals and craft tables targeted towards families and children.
- Bring the kids to the kitchen to make and bake their favorite foods.
- Kids can make puppets from paper bags or cardboard rolls, and put on a production. Or they can dress up and star in their own show.
- Give kids their own patch of earth to plant their own vegetable or flower garden. Make crowns from leaves to commemorate the planting.
- Have a water fight with squirt guns and water balloons. Turn on the sprinklers to make the battlefield more fun and water the lawn at the same time!
- Read favorite books outloud, then have kids make up, create, and illustrate their own.
- Kids can make friendship bracelets or beaded necklaces, or color on plain t-shirts or hats. Then have a fashion show for the budding designers to model their creations.
- Draw a puzzle design on a piece of blank paper, then have kids draw a picture on the blank side. Cut out the puzzle pieces and have kids reassemble their art.
- Make up a scavenger hunt and send kids from clue to clue on a fun wild goose chase. Make sure to have a reward at the end, like a batch of freshly baked cookies or a box full of their favorite treasures.
