Schools Out! Your children have just spent the last 9 moths programed with a purpose. Now the game has changed and now time is every where.
Before the kids turn to pulling pranks on their siblings - or worse, you - you need to get them busy with activities. This is also a great opportunity to remind yourself why being a dad rocks and get out there with your kids. Maybe its time to think about Summer Camps
Here are 4 things to do with your kids to make this a great summer!
Fly A Kite When you think of summer activities, flying a kite is probably somewhere on that list. However, you don't see many kids flying kites anymore. Head down to the local hobby shop to pick up a kite and some string, or you can be adventurous and try to build your own. Once you are out at the park, have a competition with your kids to see who can get the kite up the highest. Just prepare yourself for disappointment, as flying a kite as an adult seems much harder than what I remember as a child.
Gather Your Kids And Their Friends And Play A Game. Tell your kids to gather up a group of their friends and play a game with them. Play basketball. Play dodgeball. Play tag. You against all of the kids. Your kids' friends will think you are the coolest dad ever and your kids will likely be feeling the same way. As the kids get older, you can get more competitive and try harder - until the day that you are trying your hardest and they are whooping your butt!
Have A Treasure Hunt Whether you break out the metal detector to look for buried treasure or just make up a treasure list like when you were a kid at a sleep over, you will have fun exploring. Part of the excitement with a treasure hunt is just imagining the possibilities. Maybe you will find some long-lost artifact that would make Indiana Jones proud - or maybe you will just find a dime that has been buried for years. Most kids will be just as happy either way.
Often parents do not have the time or energy to keep up with their kids so consider a Summer Kids Camp this summer for your child.
