Summer Activities to Enjoy at Home

Looking for some summer activities that you can plan during all this uncertainty? Here’s a list of things that are guaranteed to bring a smile and fun memories during your summer!

- Movie Night – Outside! Love these ideas from Red Triclycle on hosting an outdoor movie night. Buzzfeed has some great indoor movie ideas as well!
- Go for a hike/ ride bikes through a trail – So much scenery to take in and talk about what you see as you walk or ride a bike
- Water Gun Fights: These are great for the Summer because it’s a fun way to cool yourselves down on a hot Summer day!

Go on a Scavenger hunt: These are good in order to occupy a certain amount of time with kids! It helps them learn competition if you grant the winner a prize in the end!
Make S’mores: Who doesn’t love s’mores and they are very delicious at the end of a long day roasting them over the fire as a family! Our favorite smores are made using McVities Digestive Cookies (sounds odd, I know but trust me. If you’ve ever gotten a s’more pie from Blaze Pizza you will understand), marshmallow, and chocolate. It’s perfection.
Go on a picnic: Picnics are a great way to spend time together as a family! They are fun and you let the kids help to prepare all the food for it!
Make Ice Cream: Ice Cream is a great treat for a hot day but instead of just going to get ice cream, you can look up a simple recipe online and make it yourselves!
Go fishing: You may have to help them out a bit, but when they catch their very own fish they are always so surprised and love it!
Have a Tea Party: This is fun! Whether you get real tea or not they like to have fun with having a little party! Dress it up, stick out your pinky and enjoy!
Play I Spy: This is a great way to work on their searching skills!
Go to the Beach: Make sure you take plenty of sunscreen…and things for playing in the sand.
Draw with Sidewalk Chalk: The possibilities are endless with sidewalk chalk! You can use your creative skills on sidewalks and your driveway!
