It’s summertime, which means you finally have an opportunity to spend more time with your children and grandchildren. You can use these months to make memories that reinforce the Intellectual and Foundational Dimensions. Here are a few ways to learn and grow together! VISIT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Make a habit of visiting your local library once a week for your family to pick out books they can read. You can challenge them to see how many books they can complete over the summer. Although they may read educational books for school, now is their time to pick out something they want to read just for fun. Some libraries offer summer reading programs and activities that your family can participate in. By going to the library over the summer, your family’s’ minds will stay engaged, and their love for reading can increase. GO TO LOCAL ATTRACTIONS. In most states, there are history and science museums, art galleries, and zoos that you and your family can visit. If these attractions are state-funded, they often have free admission for visitors. These activities are great for children who are visual learners. They can touch and interact with exhibits and learn more about history or science. Who said learning couldn’t be both fun and educational? CREATE A CRAFT STATION. Do you have creative children or grandchildren? Then a craft station is a perfect activity to get their creative minds turning! You can either go to your big-box store and pick up some arts and crafts supplies, or you can use items from around your home, such as used printer paper, toilet paper rolls, old colored pencils or crayons, and items from nature. If you need inspiration on what to make, you can look online for different crafts your family can create. VISIT PARKS AND RECREATION AREAS. Summer camps can be expensive; luckily, some parks and recreation centers host day camps that are much cheaper than private camps. Sometimes they will have daily activities that your children or grandchildren can participate in to burn off some energy. If you’re looking for a place where they can play outside and stay active, going to your local parks is a great resource. If they aren’t hosting day camps, you and your family can play outside by throwing a Frisbee, having a picnic, or going on a nature walk. 4 ACTIVITIES TO KEEP THE KIDS BUSY SCHOOL’S OUT! WHAT CAN YOU DO?
reading on the trip, family vision and personal goals, and story time for the kids.
• In addition, we enact the $2 Rule throughout the entire trip. This is a fun way to make sure everyone is dealing above the line, by being responsible and accountable (rather than dealing below the line, in the zones of blame, justification, and shame).
