A program for families to eat together, have fun, and grow closer through conversation.
Sweet Summertime
Freeze tag with a water twist
Played like the classic game of tag, just with water! One player starts out with a water/squirt gun and they tag other players by squirting them with water. If a player is tagged, they must freeze! Other players can unfreeze frozen players by crawling through their legs. When all players have been frozen, the player with the water gun chooses a new player to use the water/squirt gun and the game starts over.
A frozen, sweet summer treat
Freeze fruits like grapes and bananas for a snack that is sure to cool you down!
If you are freezing bananas, peel first and wrap in plastic wrap - when completely frozen, it's a healthy popsicle that is filling, too!
Wash grapes first and don't dry. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and pop in the freezer. For a fun twist, sprinkle a packet of your favorite Kool-Aid over wet grapes before freezing.
Staying "booked" this summer
Whenever you hear the inevitable "we're bored!" this summer, have a stack of books on hand for your little, or big, ones to read! Stock up at your local library. While you're there, ask about a summer reading program or other events they have going on during the summer months. The library is a great (and cool, literally) hangout for your family and will keep your child engaged in learning while school is out.
