Summer Family Fun

8 January 2018

Summer is a great time to spend outdoors with family and friends.  Here’s some great activity ideas for young children and the whole family to be involved in:

  • Backyard scavenger/treasure hunt
  • Painting rocks to hide in the community
  • Building sandcastles – at the beach or at home in a large tub/paddling pool
  • Creating a backyard water slide
  • Puppet shows and plays
  • Covering a table with plain paper and creating a mural/picture together
  • Playdough – you’re never too old to enjoy the sensory experience
  • Hide ‘n Seek
  • “Simon Says” game
  • Backyard obstacle course

Keeping safe so that you can all enjoy outdoor activities incudes being sunsmart, actively supervising children around water, having water available to keep hydrated, stopping for rests and having a snack, and wearing shoes on hot surfaces.  Have fun outdoors together and enjoy the summer season.
