Easy Summer Activity Calendar Ideas

Think of planning your summer in terms of day camp. Theme a week day-by-day and then rotate the schedule as the weeks go by. You don’t need to do all the activities or themes – you can choose just to plan out one activity a week…or one theme a week. Whatever works for you!

Summer Activity Ideas

  • Water play (always fun!)
  • Arts n’ crafts
  • Building/construction
  • Science
  • Sports
  • Magic
  • Animals
  • Spy/Detective

Tell me more about summer activities for kids…

When I wrote Boredom Busters (my first book), I was home with two small children. We did a whole lot of water play (kiddie pool, sprinkler, and water stations), Arts n’ crafts and science experiments.

Fast forward to this year, where I have three kids (with big age differences). My older kids are self-entertaining but I still need to coordinate summer activities for my youngest.

So these days, we are making 2 ingredient slime putty and rotating in all of these 25 SUMMER ACTIVITIES TO DO WITH KIDS WHILE YOU ARE SELF-DISTANCING (yes, really).

You’ll see in the two pictures in this post, I’ve brainstormed 5 weeks of Easy Summer Activities which you can use (or build off of for your own Camp Mom or Camp Dad planning).

Mom Confession

There is screen time in our daily routine. Don’t go thinking I’m all Martha Stewart and do homemade arts n’ crafts/camp mom/pioneer life here all day every day. Big NOPE.

There are video games and computer time (usually of videos of people playing video games…I don’t even understand the fun of that really).

But it’s limited screen time. And I use their screen time as my work time. That’s when I write books and Parent Club posts. Because despite it being summer vacation…parents have to work. Right?!

Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And wit Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And with my recent concussion...I've had a lesson of setting (and sticking to) boundaries. 

Also, I'm learning kids need reminders of boundaries too. (Auto-regulation with virtual school is a CHALLENGE here!)

There are times to do things and there are times NOT to do things. There are times to say yes and times when it is totally OK to say no. 

What kind of boundaries are you setting?
Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if she wanted to colour my hair. Because pandemic. 

Navigating emotions is a challenge now (I believe @ericaehm has written about this). Teens are cut off from routine, in-person school, social circles. And add in being home with parents and siblings all the time. It's tough for all.

Luckily here, we seem to be rotating feeling the funk so when one is down someone else boosts them up.

Like "hey wanna colour my hair?!".

It's too dark in my opinion...but who cares..it's only hair...and I'm not going anywhere. And it was something different to do in a day.

Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚ Available at pu Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.

Support small biz, like ours, when you can because small shops need your business more than big box stores.
