Are you searching for fun summer activities for your kids? Check out our list.

  1. Bike rides. Take your children out for a fun bike ride near your house or if you have older kids, take them on a bike trail. Since it’s a summer day, make sure to bring water!
  2. Make ice cream. No children (or parents) in the world would refuse ice cream on a hot summer day. This is a great kids’ activity that parents can easily monitor. Here is a great guide on creating your very own vanilla ice cream.
  3. Meet friends at the local playground. Call your friends and let the kids hang out together at a local playground, where they can play on swingsets, merry-go-rounds, etc.
  4. Picnic at a park. Visiting a local or state park picnic can be a fun group activity.
  5. Sidewalk chalk murals. Get fun colored chalk for your kids, and you can create some fun chalk murals and designs. Here are some cool designs for inspiration.
  6. Camping. Your kids may be too tiny to go camping at a campsite or park, but why not begin in the backyard?
  7. Stargazing. Put out a few blankets, lie in your backyard, and stare at the stars. Show your kids how to find Orion’s Belt and many other stars. Here is a great stargazing guide.

  9. Science experiments. If your children want to stay indoors, no problem – boost their brain power and curiosity with these fun, simple science experiments for kids!

  13. Water balloon baseball. Combining two summer activities can create a cool way to play outside. Just take a T-ball bat and fill up some balloons. You can play baseball with a splash!
  14. Make a bird feeder. This children-friendly bird feeder takes toilet paper rolls to spread with peanut butter and rolls in bird seed.
  15. Make Playdough. This can be done in less than 10 minutes and is very easy to make. Check out this recipe from a fellow mother on how to make colorful playdough with your kiddos.
  16. Local library. The library has more than just books for children. Many of them have other activities and toys designed for each age. They also offer audiobooks and educational computer games!
  17. Build a fort or tent. Take an afternoon and push your couches together. Drape them with blankets and eat a snack or play a game under your fort or tent!
  18. Play hide and seek. Mix up old hide and seek with hiding and seek in the dark! Black out your windows and other areas. It certainly makes for great entertainment!
  19. Build Milk carton boats. Take a milk carton and shape it in the fashion of a boat. You can paint it and stick a toothpick with a taped flag! Test it by putting it in water in the tub. Does it float? If not, your kids can brainstorm on how to fix it.
  20. Complete a puzzle. When searching for the perfect puzzle, look for the correct age group. It can be a great time to bond with your kids and work together to solve a puzzle.
  21. Go to a splash park. Some are free, and others are not, but this would be a fun outing for your kids! Anything with water is a score with everyone in your house. Beating the heat is possible!
  22. Shaving cream Writing. This may get messy, but it’s a cool way to write! If you’re ok with the mess, have your kids practice their ABCs. You can go outside in the sunshine!
  23. Paint rocks. Are you one with rocks in your yard or nearby? Have fun painting faces or patterns on rocks with your kids. You could use these as door stoppers or paperweights!
  24. Balloon tennis. Using paper plates, paint stirrers, and air-blown balloons, you can make this cool summer kids’ activity for the outdoors. You could also play this inside!
  25. Homemade water blob. You can create your water blob using plastic sheeting and duct tape! This dad warns that there will be leaking, but it only adds to the fun and gives it more of a splash!
  26. Squirt gun water painting. You can paint with watercolor paper, an easel, and a squirt gun when you shoot! The easel is to help hold the paper while you shoot.
  27. Glow in the dark jar. With this how-to, you can make believe with this glow-in-the-dark jar! You can capture fairies or even use them as a night light. The results are radiant!
  28. Water bag piñata. Have a blast busting this piñata. The only exception? It has filled with water! Let your kids have fun filling it with water and then hitting it to feel the waterfall!
  29. Make sponge balls. This is a cool homemade game or yard toss. Buy some fun-looking sponges, or use what you got! Drench them in water and soap, and get ready to be soaked in the hot summer fun!
  30. Make horseshoes. Cutting off the edges of paper plates, have your kids paint them, and toss them around a paper towel roll! This is a cool kids’ summer activity or game for a rainy day.
  31. Plant vegetables or flowers. Use the summer to instruct your kids on how to cultivate plans! Plant flowers or vegetables in your garden. They can water it each day and watch them bloom!
  32. Visit the farmer’s market. You don’t have to travel far to expand your kids’ worlds. Going to your farmer’s market can be a fun outing and a way to show them all the different and colorful foods!
  33. Dig for fossils. Parents, this will mean you will have to prep, but the fun your kids will have is a lasting effect. Bury several items in dirt-filled shoeboxes and have your kids discover different items!
  34. Egg drop activity. Obtain a set of eggs you do not mind wasting, and have your kids devise inventive ways to protect an egg so that when you drop it from a window, it does not break. This can include placing the egg inside a shoebox filled with foam or any other creative method.
  35. Feed some ducks. Some places have ducks for you to feed (the zoo) or a local pond/lake. You can bring scraps of bread or buy the food these places have provided!
  36. Pic berries. Now is the time to indulge in the season! From strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to blackberries, there are places in your state that will let you pick them for free or a small entrance fee.
  37. Plant a butterfly garden. There are over 750 species of butterflies, and you can attract all kinds to your garden with these. A list of flowers to start will feed the attraction and have an organic one. Gardening is a cool summer activity that kids can learn and enjoy!
  38. Hiking. Pick a beginner hiking trail to do with your kids first, and then weekly, during the summer, you can choose a more advanced trail. Look up your local parks or trails to see what your area offers.
  39. Lake/beach trip. Try searching for lakes or beaches nearby. Make it a day trip if you need to. It is a fun, cheap way to create summer memories with your kids. Pack a lunch and find a good spot!
  40. Play in the sprinkler. This is an easy way to beat the heat, especially with toddlers. Set up your sprinklers, have the kids put on swimsuits, bring towels, and turn on the water!
  41. Early morning/late night walk. When you wake up, take a walk while pushing your kids before the real heat begins. You could also do a pajama walk right before bed. Either way, your kids will be relaxed during this summer activity!
  42. Bean bag toss. Using a sewing machine, you can sew fabric and buy beans to make the bags. Kids will appreciate the game more when they create it. Toss the bags in your backyard or buckets.
  43. Visit a swimming pool. Of all the places to get wet, this is the most popular. Take your kids to visit a pool and play toss in the water. Have them dive for objects or float around on noodles or tubes. Swimming is the ultimate kid’s summer activity.
  44. Go to the movies. Find a family movie to see together that incorporates all ages. Getting tickets online will save time and energy once you get to the theater!
  45. Blow bubbles. With a bubble machine for $5 or a single set of bubbles to blow out, bubbles lighten the mood and do wonders for entertainment. Younger kids will enjoy running through them or blowing them!
  46. Fly a kite. Pick a clear area to run and fly a kite of your choice. Flying a kite teaches your kids patience and coordination. A plus is that they are pretty to watch high in the sky, with a bright sun, during a fun summer day!
  47. Glow in the dark bowling. How do you make extra bowling fun with your kids? You make it glow in the dark. Glow sticks are the secret ingredient! Here is a brief tutorial on how to spice up your bowling experience.
  48. Color-changing flowers. Obtain glasses to hold one flower at a time. Then, half full of water put a couple of drops of different dye colors in each. Each glass should have a white flower inside. Slowly, they will begin to change!
  49. Craft with pipe cleaners. You can create different creatures by simply taking different colors of pipe cleaners and fluff balls. This includes bugs, butterflies, animals, etc. Let your inventive kids take the reins on this one.
  50. Make a video. Take the family video camera and have your kid’s record nature outside with commentary, conduct talk shows outside, or be actors and actresses.

About Us

The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.

That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning.  The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
