Summer fun Idea lists-

Need a great idea? here are a few!

*EDIT*and i forgot to say when i posted this today that (in the past)

I purchased a large Desk Calendar. (they

have them at the dollar store sometimes) and marked my days i

planned for activities. so they kids weren't harassing me about what

day we were doing things.they could look to see what movies we were

seeing, who we had play dates with. and what fun things we had

planned. and it didn't mess up my regular calendar. it was just for

summer activities with the kids. ** i color coded it, and put it where

they could look at it. *EDIT*

Special shout out to Alicia. my fave sister in law, and Aaron.for typing

up this fun stuff Summer Fun Doc. Alicia had to help compile this for

her enrichment and i had to do it for mine, Thanks to all the bloggers

that submitted stuff. too.

here are100 fun things to do in the summer from Becky(she's private

sorry). thanks for sharing this.

Andrea has a fabulous point system for summer. she uses pennies, in

individual jars, my sister in law Alicia -was going to use tickets(you

can buy a roll a walmart) adjust it to fit your kids age level, or the

points to suit you . also there is another ticket system version at

Executive Homemaker here

she has some great chore charts too.

and i love The idea door for her chore charts also

Here is a basic Chore chart, you can use with stickers, or make your

own but you get the idea. this one was made by Jenn

There are tons of fun thing you can google too. don't be shy google is

your friend.try summer crafts, fun summer activities, add in your city

or state. and see what that gets you.

ALSO- I'm starting a weekly blog post challenge for the kids on their blogs- which are now private. they have to post on a given topic. so it counts as a creative writing assignment. it earns points at my house.
easy stuff like -
best Birthday ever?
a time when you were scared?
if you could be any animal what would you be?

if anyone wants in. then let me know and i'll post it.
