WFMW-- Summer Fun

Posted in WFMW

Fun things to do this summer-- print this and post it so when your kids are bored, you can point to the list and say"Go find one of these or mommy will find you some toilets to scrub."

  • Go swimming.
  • Go on a picnic.
  • Shoot some hoops.
  • Go for a walk.
  • Take in a free outdoor concert.
  • Go to the zoo.
  • Ride bikes.
  • Fly a kite.
  • Go fishing.
  • Go to an outdoor play.
  • Go strawberry, raspberry, or cherry picking.
  • Play miniature golf.
  • Go in-line skating.
  • Go to a festival or fair.
  • Rent a canoe, paddle boat, or even go inner-tubing on a local lake or river.
  • Go to the park.
  • Run through the sprinkler.
  • Set up a lemonade stand in your neighborhood.
  • Have a garage sale.
  • Draw on the sidewalk with chalk.
  • Play games outside like hide and seek, kick the can, hopscotch, and tag.
  • Make popsicles.
  • Make homemade ice cream.
  • Offer to wash an elderly neighbor's car.
Keeping kids in charge of their own entertainment works for me!  For more ideas, go visit Rocks in my Dryer.

This is a repost from last week because I posted it before I knew that this week's theme was boredom busters.  Plus I am teaching a drama camp this week and have no time so I am cheating :)

I needed this. Usually I find that giving them chores works. LOL

We did make ice cream today.
