5 Summer Activities to Keep Kids’ Memory Sharp during Summer Vacation

5 Summer Activities to Keep Kids’ Memory Sharp during Summer Vacation

In this article, Summer is the time when kids build memories. And kids will look back at vacations, day trips, picnics and other outings with nostalgia. But that’s not all they’ll remember. They’ll remember the bad (e.g., being bored at home, fights with siblings). And so as parents we want to help them make every day in summer something they’ll want to remember. Work-at-home parents, in particular, need ideas for enjoyable summer activities that school-age kids can do on their own.

Here are five Summer Activities to help your Kids have fun and Increase their Memory Power too!

1.  Create a Memory book of the best Moments of the Year

You could use a blank notebook or something similar and ask the kids questions like:

•    What is their Favorite Memory

•    Evaluate what they did super during the school year

•    To think about their friends this year (I give them enough space to include the whole class)

•     Evaluate how their classmates were great friends

•     A few things they learned in school this year

What was one thing they learned that they will remember most from the year

Then write down their answers in the form of pictures or any other format that they can understand and decorate the book.

2.   Alphabet Games and Number Games

Don’t think that just because your child is an early reader he can’t play car games. Try a modified version of the alphabet games where you compete to find words on signs or billboards starting from A to Z. Also, you can collect brochures at rest stops, and then practice reading as you check out the fun stuff to do in the area.

3.   Create the Grocery List

Kids can stay sharp through helping parents with their errands. Planning a grocery shopping list on a budget is a fun way to practice math skills. It’s also a chance to learn about good nutrition. Kids can feel like a part of their family’s plans while they exercise their minds.

4.   Board Games and other Indoor Games

Good old-fashioned board games and cards can keep kids busy while you work. Of course, for some games, you’ll need to have more than one kid in the house to play. (Think play date!) However, there are some games for one and brainteaser games that can keep one child occupied this summer, and you’d be amazed at how many things a kid can do with a deck of cards! Games for kids, however, let mom work when kids know how to be good sports. Otherwise, you’ll end up as a referee. And if your kids are old enough to play outside unattended, don’t overlook outdoor fun like shooting a game of HORSE at the driveway basketball hoop or sending them out to play tag.

5.   Puzzles

All Summer long, have a jigsaw puzzle going somewhere in the house. And keep puzzled books handy. Puzzles keep kids mentally active. Some kids are more into puzzles than others. Don’t expect them to spend hours working on puzzles in a day. Doing only a little bit of a large puzzle each day or completing a 100-puzzle piece puzzle all at once keeps kids from getting bored with it. Of course, there are puzzle apps and computer games as well but as with all electronics, parents need to keep an eye on the clock to be sure kids don’t get too much screen time.

Don’t keep the kids from physical play!

Not only should you focus on keeping your brain active, but you should also make sure you keep your body active during the summer. Exercising keeps your body healthy, revives the mind, and improves your mood by releasing endorphins, or “feel-good” chemicals. You could consider riding a bike, running, walking, swimming, or even dancing. Remember, a healthy body + healthy mind = happy life.
Many of our student-athletes are already involved in summer sports and activities, so remember to also rest, hydrate, and maintain proper nutrition habits.
These summer activities for youth can be easy and fun to keep your brain active while you are out of school. The key is to stay motivated and challenge yourself. Just thinking of things to do is an exercise for your brain in itself!
