Summer Fun: Activities to Keep Kids Engaged and Learning

Summer offers the perfect opportunity to relax, recharge, and keep learning while having fun. Here are some easy, screen-free ideas to keep kids active and engaged all season long.

Creative Play

Build a backyard obstacle course

Create a craft station with markers, glue, and recycled materials

Try sidewalk chalk art or water painting on the driveway

Outdoor Adventures

Go on a nature scavenger hunt

Visit a local farm, zoo, or sensory-friendly playground

Take neighborhood walks and collect “treasures” for a discovery bin

Quiet Indoor Options

Read books together during a shaded afternoon break

Make your own board game with a poster board and stickers

Try sensory bins with rice, beans, or water beads

Remember: summer fun doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. The best activities are the ones that invite imagination, movement, and connection.
