There is something about summer that just brings out the best in us, isn’t there? The long, sun-filled, warm days are (almost!) here yet again (thank goodness), and of course, we will all be looking for fun summer activities and things to do. Here are 16 fun ideas to add to your summer bucket list!
See an Outdoor Concert
Grab some friends and dance the night away.
Have a Family Water Balloon Fight
Cool off on a hot day with a family water balloon fight. Parents don’t miss the fun!
Watch Fireflies
Let the kids stay up late. Take a bike ride, get ice cream from your local spot, and enjoy watching the fireflies come out.
Swim
Jump in the pool or ocean and don’t care about what you look like because no one else does. Be the first one in! Tell everyone how nice it feels! Your hair can be redone, and your makeup can be reapplied. Get in. Make the Memories. You’ll never regret it!
Go to a Baseball Game
Minor or Major leagues — it doesn’t matter. An exciting baseball game will surely bring the crowds together and is a fun way to spend the day.
Organize a Round of Putt Putt
Invite your family or friends and enjoy playing 18 at your favorite mini-golf course at home or on vacation!
Make Smores
Make this sweet treat at a beach or backyard bonfire.
Go Berry Picking
and make a dessert with the berries! Strawberries and blueberries are the perfect seasonal treats.
Chipwitch Time
Make homemade ice cream sandwiches and enjoy them on a hot afternoon.
Make Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
There is just something about summer and lemonade. Enjoy making lemonade (or Arnold Palmers!) out of fresh lemons.
Light up some sparklers
Enjoy lighting up sparklers on the 4th of July. Not only are they safe enough for kids to hold (you still need to watch them, though), but just seeing the twinkling lights at the end of your sparkler is nothing short of magical.
Protect Our Oceans and Ocean Life
Clean up your local beach, lake, or river. It doesn’t have to be organized, just bring a trash bag and go for a long walk to pick up any trash you find.
Take a (Safe) Risk With Your Kids
Give your kids the chance to make some “bad” moves and grow from them. If you need ideas, check out 50 Risks to Take with Your Kids for a practical guide to build resilience and independence in your kids.
Make Homemade Popsicles
Making some homemade popsicles is easy and pretty straightforward, making it the perfect cold treat to enjoy all summer long. We love THESE MOLDS.
Make a Summer Playlist
So you can quickly set the mood and enjoy all the fun summer vibes that much more.
Double The Fun
Grab your partner and organize a doubles game at a nearby tennis court.
