Fun Summer Activities for Kids

DURAND, Mich., –– Summer is here and school is out! Don't let your kids sit inside all during their vacation playing on their electronics and watching tv. We've compiled a list of active and super awesome games to make this summer a memorable one. So get outside and enjoy the sunny weather with these fun summer activities for your kids! 

Bubble Party

Take your bubble party to the next level by making giant bubbles with help of a kiddy pool and a hula hoop!

Yard Scrabble

Cut up 100 of cardboard squares (or just use heavy card stock printer paper) to create a life-size version of Scrabble that you play on your lawn. Your kids will love creating the fun words and using the large letter tiles! Plus, it will keep them working on their spelling throughout the summer.

Mini Obstacle Course

Create your own obstacle course in your backyard for a fun exercise activity for your kids! Record their times and see who can hold the course record!

Lawn Twister

Everyone loves Twister, and now you can play it out in the backyard! Don't worry about painting your grass as it will be gone in one or two lawn mowing sessions.

Water Fight

Break out the sprinkler and the squirt guns for some cool fun in the sun! You can also substitute traditional water balloons for water sponges. Or, try a fun new game called Duck, Duck, Splash!

Giant Jenga

A super-sized version of normal Jenga that is fun for all ages. It's easy to make the blocks as well!

Glow-in-the-Dark Capture the Flag

Make this classic game even more fun for your kids by lighting up the players at night with glow sticks! It will help you keep an eye on everyone at night too!

Frozen Banana Pops

Reward your kids for playing outside with a delicious frozen treat that's much healthier for them than popsicles and ice cream!

In addition to these games, there are plenty of other fun summer activities you can do with your kids like sidewalk chalk, catching fireflies at night, or a kickball game with all the neighborhood kids! Spend your summer outside with you children so that they're active and have the best summer ever!
