Five Family Fun Summer Activities

Schools Out! Happy Days!! Kids can stroll out of their beds in their own time, no rush and brawling over the toilet, breakfast can be served without hassle and the mornings will finally feel like heaven again. If only!!

Although summer seems like an early Christmas for the kids, parents are left to struggle with an extra 6 hours of nagging, tantrums and cries of boredom. Keeping the children entertained with fun family activities this summer can do wonders & many don’t cost a fortune.

1.    Kite Competition

Summer time is the best time (in fact the only time) when the kites are ready to come out. Have a ball and fly those kites. Encouraging the kids to make or personalize their own kites is not only a fun crafting task but allows the kids to put their overactive imagination to work. Add some fun by competing –who can fly their kite the highest?

2.    Pack a Picnic

A summer isn’t quite complete without a trip to the Park with a picnic hamper full of great summer snacks. We all know that the thrill of preparing for a holiday is far more exciting than the holiday itself, similarly packing for a picnic and deciding what foods to cram in a picnic basket is all part of the experience - so get the kids involved. Urge the children to help prepare their own sandwiches with the filling of their choice.

3.    Summer Sports

Get active. Summer is a great time to try out new outdoor sports (think about the post baby fat you can lose in the process) whilst spending a joyful time with the whole family. Light friendly sports such as basketball and football are the perfect activities to keep the kids occupied.

4.    Cool Chores

Sometimes children can get in the way of household chores. Getting the children to take part is a playful way to get the job done whilst keeping an eye on them. Car washes, gardening and baking are great chores to get the whole family involved in.

5.    Traditional Treats

Old is gold. Go all traditional this summer and bring out those games and toys that were equivalent to game consoles in our times. Search out the bats & balls, hulla hoops, frisbees , swing balls and skipping ropes - a fun way to train kids to appreciate the simple things in life.
