Many students enjoy making elaborate plans for the summer, though some choose to spend their vacation at home. Here, I will try and give some fun activities to do both at home and in the community for the upcoming summer break!
A classic activity to do over the summer is collecting rocks and painting them. Don’t let your creativity stop there; try painting other fun objects like CDs, ceramics, tote bags, and glass bottles!
For a cute and memorable craft, getting together with friends to decorate a summer scrapbook can be a way to preserve memories. You can even make a scrapbook for the upcoming school year. For upcoming seniors, this can serve as a farewell to your last summer as a high school student.
Another charming summer activity could be an outdoor picnic. Basking in the sun to enjoy the weather with companions is a simple way to spend more time outside. A picnic can be turned into a potluck along with activities like card games, water balloon fights, coloring, and more.
Once school is out, binging shows and movies will be easy! Having an at-home movie marathon with family and friends could be a way to level up a movie viewing. Having themed decorations, food, and outfits will make it a night to remember.
Of course, what would summer be without creating a bucket list? Setting goals out on paper often makes people more likely to achieve them. This could be a great way to challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone or start a new hobby.
It goes without saying that you can make the most out of your summer all the while using the opportunity to mentally recharge and discover more about yourself!
