Summer Fun: Calendar, Bucket List & Ideas

I am sooo ready for summer. By the time school comes around, I’ll be ready and excited for that too, but I need a break and I know the kids need one too. My favorite part of summer is the same since I was a kid – sleeping in. I started doing some summer planning a few years ago to make sure we made the most of our time together. I do not plan something every day, because I think there should be plenty of down time, but I use the planning to spread out fun things throughout the summer.

If you need ideas for fun, I’ve created a list (this is just an image – print the printable for better resolution). These are also great boredom busters for rainy afternoons! Do you love rainy summer days as much as I do?

I also bought local fun passes that will give us entrance into several places like bowling alleys, trampoline parks, and even a waterpark. I am really a homebody at heart, so it was my way of making sure we wouldn’t make excuses not to get out of the house.

Still – I know that you may want a different bucket list. Heck, *I* want a different bucket list too than an exact replica of these 52 ideas, I like to make our actual bucket list personalized. I ask each of the kids for the things they’d really like to do too. Sometimes their ideas of fun are funny to me, like “buy candy at the grocery store” … hahaha!!

Here’s some fun activity ideas I’ve posted about before for more inspiration!

  • Bread Turtles
  • Easy Homemade Playdough
  • LEGOS Day
  • Jar of Job Opportunities
  • Errand Treasure Hunt
  • Gardening Inspiration
  • That Time I Bought Ladybugs
  • Sunday Dinner Jobs
  • New Parenting Catch-Phrase (& a tip)
  • Beach Memory Jar
  • GAME: Help Your Neighbor
  • Tween & Parent Book Club
  • Homemade Fruit Snacks
  • That Time I Gave My Kids Haircuts

And the calendar …

It is really fun for me to plot things on the calendar. This calendar goes from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is a great visual of summer! I already printed this off and started making plans with the kids last night. Have I mentioned yet that I’m ready for summer to start already?!
