Keep kids busy — and happy! — this summer
Here are some ideas for keeping your kids happily occupied throughout the summer — giving you time to get things done.
Stock up on indoor activities. Keep board games, puzzles and a deck of playing cards on hand for when your kids need a break from the sun.
Go on backyard adventures. Plan a picnic with your kids’ assistance or camp out overnight in your own backyard.
Start a lemonade stand. Teach your kids a simple lemonade recipe and watch them become instant entrepreneurs. Bonus: They get to practice their math skills counting money.
Invest in storytelling tech. Download audiobooks your kids love and play them when you need some quiet time to yourself.
Create a chore tournament. Make housekeeping a game! Assign simple chores to your kids and offer a small prize, like getting to choose what’s for dessert. Your kids will help you out and have fun in the process.
Decorate your sidewalks. Give your kids a bucket of sidewalk chalk and watch your yard transform into an art studio. Teach them to draw an obstacle course for creative exercise.
Send your kids on a scavenger hunt. Give your kids a list of small items to collect from neighbors or friends. The first one to collect everything on the list wins!
Need more space for your family this fall? Give me a call. I’ll figure out what fits and find your ideal home out there waiting for you.
Great ideas! One thing that has worked well for keeping kids entertained during summer is letting them play creative games with friends. My nephew spends hours exploring and trading in Blox Fruits, and it’s actually helped him learn basic decision-making and value comparisons. We often use Blox Fruits Values to check fruit prices and make fair trades while having fun together.
