FREE Summer Activities Bucket List Printable

Does this ever happen to you?  About an hour into summer vacation and already the kids are saying “I’m bored. What can we do now?” To combat summertime boredom,  I made this free summer activities bucket list printable so I ALWAYS had an answer to that inevitable question.

 

Free Summer Activities Bucket List Printable. Fun, free and frugal ideas to keep your kids entertained all summer long! Moms and caregivers, you'll need this so you can always have an answer to your kids saying, "I'm bored, what can we do now?"

 

Getting through summer is a marathon, not a sprint.  Keeping our kids engaged and entertained without spending a small fortune on summer camps and expensive activities is a necessity. Why not have free or nearly free fun at Camp Mom instead? 

 

Have you noticed yet how much I love making lists and printables? If you hang out with me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ll see I am a planner addict and list maker extraordinaire. I had all these ideas floating around in my head for a Summer Activities Bucket List for fun, free or frugal ideas for the kids and I to do over the summer and I thought I’d share them with you too!

 

Making a List With Free Events & Coupons 

To make my summer activities bucket list, I scoured local free events and our city coupon book. I put a little dot next to the activities for which I have a coupon. I picked activities for sunny vs. rainy days and activities for my good days with Rheumatoid Arthritis vs. my bad days when we are housebound so that we would have a good variety os summer activities to enjoy. Family fun does not have to cost a fortune so be sure to grab and save up those coupons now to use them over the summer. 

 

I brain dumped all my ideas into my 2015 Erin Condren planner and in my 2016 bullet journal collections so I could keep the ideas handy.  Isn’t the beach themed notes page just perfect for a summer bucket list? 

 

(Note: if you’re interested in an Erin Condren planner or goodies, you can use my referral link and sign up to get a $10 off coupon for your first order. I get a $10 off coupon too to pay for this planner addiction of mine).

 

 

Some of our favorite indoor summer activities are the free DIY clinics and cooking classes. Lowes and Home Depot offers free workshops where kids can build their own wood projects. I love the Williams-Sonoma free technique cooking classes but they also offer free junior chef cooking classes for kids. We went to a few last year and my kids loved making fresh smoothies, ice cream and pizza with the teacher. I always learn something helpful to improve my cooking in their classes. Michaels and AC Moore also have art classes and free project ideas online to keep kids busy during a summer thunderstorm.

  1. What a fun list and I definitely see a lot of things that we need to do this summer! I also love the new look of your blog…so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Share The Wealth Sunday! xoxo

  2. This is an awesome summer bucket list!! I love all of the activity ideas! Thanks for posting it and for hosting #SmallVictoriesSunday!

    1. You’re welcome and although school is not officially over, I did hear about an hour after school on Friday, “I’m bored!” Too bad I was in no shape to take kids anywhere but I forced myself to shower and get out to a free outdoor concert with hubby for a date.

  3. I love your organizational skills and lists! Maybe this will help me become more organized. Thank you! Will follow you on instagram also.

  4. Love this! I made a summer bucket list post recently too, but I love all your ideas! And I love the random acts of kindness too.

  5. I always wanted to go to one of those art workshops in Michael’s but never have!

    I love the zoo but haven’t been healthy enough to go in years. I’m hoping by the end of fall I will be able to walk around most of it. It’s my goal to be able to walk at least a mile at once by the end of the year. Fingers crossed. My PT is helping so much.

    1. I had gone to a cake decorating class at Michael’s back when I only had one kid. It was a ton of fun. Hope you can work your way up to a mile walking, glad PT is helping! What are you looking forward to this summer?

    1. My friends own some horses, we haven’t been to visit in awhile. A treasure hunt sounds like a great idea and baking is alwats a fun activity too. Thanks for the suggestions!

  6. Thanks for this printable! It’s nice to just pull out something when your brain is too crazy to think and go, “That’s what we can do today!” Some of them I didn’t even think about but I will in the future!

  7. Oh this is an awesome list! I’ll be sure to pin it. I’m a planner too. I also like to write everything down. I’m a little behind on our summer to do list, but I’ll be putting that post up soon!

  8. This is a great idea! I just did a summer activities week last week on my blog with 150 different activities and you have things not on my list!!! I will be adding some to my personal list with my kiddos!! Great post!
