How to Use Your Summer Activities for Kids Planner:
Print out the first page for every week: You need 1 sheet for each week of the summer. You can print these all at once and plan your entire summer or you can do it week by week. You will fill 1 out for each week. Let the kids help or do it yourself.
Print out the 2nd page to use all summer: The 2nd page is the master copy are your theme days! The theme is the same each day, every week. But don’t worry we’ve got you covered with ideas. Post this on your fridge or frame it in a cheap dollar store frame so the kids can see it. This way they won’t keep asking you what you are doing today.
Print out one copy of the activities on pages 3-7: These are the lists of activity ideas. You can do straight down the list from 1-13 in order. You can choose from the list randomly. For some surprise fun, cut out the ideas so they are on single strips. Then put them in a jar or bag and pick a random out for each week.
