Each of us eagerly anticipates the summer season because, let’s be honest, it’s our absolute favorite. July waiting on our door, inviting us to welcome it warmly, filled with anticipation and long lists of activities like the long-awaited vacation, summer shopping, leisurely afternoons with the family, and cool evening walks.
Did you start daydreaming? So did we! You’ve probably already scheduled your vacation days and sensibly planned what, when, and how. That’s why we are here to help you with ideas on how to fill those hot summer afternoons when you’re in the city with the kids and lack inspiration for activities. Spending a hot summer afternoon with the whole family can be both fun and refreshing. Sometimes, it’s nice to live life without rules and embrace spontaneity.
Try to spend as much time outdoors as possible to break away from the prolonged screen time – luckily, summer days are long enough to make this easy. Here’s what you can do together!
Nature Treasure Hunt – Create a list of items for the kids to find in the park or on the meadow. This game will stimulate their imagination and awaken their adventurous spirit. And who doesn’t want a reward for all the treasures found?
There’s nothing better than combining sports with family fun!
Team Sports – Divide into teams and choose the game that suits your family best – whether it’s football, frisbee, badminton, table tennis, or something else that will awaken your sporty spirit. The good thing is that by the end of the day, you’ll have happy and satisfied kids who will sleep soundly afterwards.
Water Adventures– The great thing about hot summer is that you can get wet as much and as often as you like. Opt for an impromptu water pistol fight – something like paintball, but less messy. Another idea is to organize a competition for the biggest soap bubble – what child doesn’t love those?!
Picnic in Nature – Whether you combine it with the above activities or prefer a more leisurely afternoon, eating and drinking together away from the hustle and bustle will surely fill you with incredible emotions and you’ll want to repeat it.
Spending time with your kids and family can be an incredible experience, especially if you embrace spontaneity and live life without rules, at least for a little while. Summer offers numerous opportunities to create unforgettable memories that will warm you throughout the year.
