Is everyone enjoying their summer so far? I know my kids sure are. They do tend to run out of things to do though. I try to keep them busy as much as possible. I hate to hear the words, I’m bored.

These are just some of the things I’d love to try with my girls this summer. They’re excited to be able to try to get this list done! We’re going to work hard on getting through most of these this summer. Do you have a bucket list for the summer with your kids?
This is a great list- we used to host a lemonade and cupcake stand every Summer. I miss having my nieces and nephews around!
They’re so much fun too! I’m hoping my girls will want to do another lemonade stand soon. They usually do really well with them.
This is a great summer bucket list for kids! I did a lot of childcare over summers, and we would pick a different theme each day, and have the activities for the day revolve around that theme. One of my biggest things for summer, whether you are a child or an adult is to learn something new everyday, such an important thing in life to never stop learning.
That’s a wonderful idea! I love that you did themes. I may just have to do that too!
WOW! We have done on this list but it’s apparent that I have many many more things I need to do this summer with my kiddos before he goes back to school.
We’ve already done many on the list too. There is so much more to do!
Lemonade stand is a must for any child. You have to have that experience at least once in your lifetime. Also having a garage sale and selling old toys and clothes is a great way to earn summer cash and a fun thing for kids, especially those learning to count change.
I agree! I think every kid should do lemonade stands at least once.
This is such a fantastic list! I hope I can tackle most of the things on this list with my family.
Right! Same here!
This really is the ultimate summer bucket list!!!! I can see my kids doing at LEAST 20 of these treasures and having a blast in the process!
Same! My kids love all of these.
Every mom should print this out and put it on their fridge! No reason to say you are bored kiddos! This list has it all!
I agree! There is so much to do for kids.
What an incredible list of activity ideas! I love the thought of a scavenger hunt and plan to make those root beer floats a priority!
My girls love treasure hunts. I was going to do one today, but I’m finding myself not having the time, so very soon I’ll be planning one out for them!
I’m sure my kids will do some of these. We’re basically having a low key summer though. We do need to make some s’mores at some point!
S’mores are always fun. That’s one of our favorites.
This is pretty fun list. I know my kids would love to have a water balloon fight and I think I have some left over from last summer. We should pull those out!
I know we have some leftover as well. I just haven’t been able to find them.
You have tons of great ideas here! We have done a couple of these things already and have a bunch more planned throughout the summer.
We’ve done some too. Lots for kids to do in the summer!
So many of these would be fun right now. I need to start planning a few things each weekend so I can make the most of my summer.
Right! I’m glad my kids have been able to keep themselves entertained this summer so far.
This is such a great list of fun activities for the kids. My daughter just went bowling and she had a blast. It was an indoor, glow in the dark course. Super cool.
That’s awesome! Sounds like a lot of fun.
I have been trying to plan a few things to do next week with the kids. This list has given me a few great ideas.
I’m glad they’re helping! There are so many ways to keep kids busy this summer.
I really love the mail a letter to someone idea! I think I am going to do that with my kiddos.
I’m going to do that one soon too! I think it will be fun for my girls.
What a great list! I think that I am going to print it off and place it on the fridge. When the kids say they are bored, they can look to it and cross it off as they do it!
Great!! I need to print it off myself and hang it as well. That way I can also cross them off. 🙂
We are planning on making some ice cream floats this weekend. I am setting up a station full of goodies for the kids to add.
Great! I’m sure your kids will love that. I know mine will.
Fun! My daughter and I do a bucket list for the Summer to make sure we get to do all of the fun warm weather activities we can think of. I have a few more now, thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you guys have a list as well.
My boys love lists like this. I love that they separate themselves from electronics.
I love when kids stay away from electronics. It’s so nice to get them outdoors.
Forget the kids!! LOL!! This sounds like a fun bucket list for me!! HAHAHA!!
Right! haha! I agree.
Ah you gave me a few new ideas. We need to get some science experiments done soon. And miniature golf!!! SO FUN!
Yes! I love both of those.
I love the Summer Bucket list! I seriously want my son to do one now so I know what he wants to really do before Summer is over!
Right! I love doing bucket lists for the summer.
Having a list to refer to when the kids get bored is great! Thanks for the bucket list. Summer is more fun when you stay busy with activities.
It sure is. It can really keep them busy.
This is a long list of super fun things to do this summer. We have done most of these things.
That’s great to hear!
All these sounds so fun! Kids will surely enjoy their summer with these activities!
They sure will!
Fun list, I just skimmed through it all – think we have a good few checked off. Great ideas for the rest of the summer. 🙂
My kids have been having fun with these so far.
Bucket lists are awesome especially when you have one each season! These are all super fun ideas for the kids! Keeps them busy and entertained during the summer!
I completely agree. They’re great!
It’s nice to prepare activities for the kids during the summer and I think a bucket list is an awesome idea! These are things that they’ll definitely enjoy!
I agree. There is so much to do!
Being outdoor and stay active is always good for the kids and to adults as well. To keep as healthy and to enjoy our surroundings as well. Summer is always fun and for family.
I completely agree. There is so much to do in summer too.
I love this bucket list. Nothing worse than hearing I’m bored coming from your child. We don’t have a bucket list but I will definitely incorporate some of these activities into our summer.
Right! I hate when my girls say they’re bored.
Love this summer bucket list for kids. I would love for our kids to get outside more this summer. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. I love when kids can get outside more.
I love this list! I have two young boys and I am always looking for fun things to do with them.
Great to hear! There are many fun things to do on this list.
my kids and I will try to tackle each and every one of those this summer (challenge ON!) What I really want to do this summer with my kids is to go Up North MN in a cabin and bum around in the small town area, swim, relax in nature, etc… we LOVE doing that!
That sounds like a ton of fun! We live in Wisconsin, so we visit MN a lot. I think my girls would really enjoy something like that too.
We have done so many of these already this summer! Thanks for a few more ideas.
Same here!
I love this bucketlist for kids. The kids deserve an epic summer too!
I agree!
