No more "I'm Bored"! Summer Activities for Kids


Kids look forward to summer vacation all year long. Why is it that when it finally arrives one of the first things you hear is “I’m bored” ?

Physical activity for kids is vitally important. It helps build strong muscles and bones, improves self-confidence and helps kids maintain a healthy weight. It also keeps away the boredom and bad snacking habits.

A scavenger hunt is a great way to get kids up and moving! Make a list of household objects (only safe/unbreakable objects now, we don’t need any injuries or destruction) and hide them in safe, easily accessible places around the house and yard.

Kids can play as a team or individually trying to find all the objects on the list. You can do timed scavenger challenges or have kids search until all the items are found. The person or team who finds the most objects wins! It will keep the kids occupied for hours and have them active while looking for the items on their list. You can make cool, no-cost award certificates for the winners at http://www.certificatestreet.com. So hide some stuff and let's get scavenging!
