Summer is almost here, and regardless of whether your kids go to public or private school, it is fun to mark the end of the school year and the beginning of summer with some kind of special activity or event. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive, but it can often be helpful to mark seasonal transitions with something fun and memorable. Here are 12 summer kickoff ideas that you could use to celebrate the beginning of summer!
12 Summer Kickoff Ideas
Remember that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make something memorable. The point is just to mix things up and do something
Surprise the kids with a fun outing
You could get them up early the morning after they’re done with school with a surprise doughnut run or a visit to a local trampoline park. Wherever you go, waiting until the last minute to tell them makes it even more fun!
Rent a bounce house and have a pizza party
Pitch in with friends and rent a bounce house (with or without water) and spend the first day of summer with pizza and outdoor fun.
Go to the beach or pool
If you have water access nearby, plan to spend the whole day, or a morning or afternoon, at a beach or pool or lake.
Sit down and make summer bucket lists
