Summer Alphabet

Ever heard of the summer alphabet? My friend, Camille, found this idea on a blog and did it with her kids last year. They had a ton of fun and I promised myself I would do it with my kids this year. So, join me in enjoying your summer with your family.....alphabet style. Take a notebook and pen and write down each letter of the alphabet. Next to each letter, think of something you would like to do this summer that starts with that letter. Then, in any order, follow through on completing your list!
I told my kids about this last night and they wanted to sit right down to make our list. They were very excited! I am too! What a great way to stay busy, have fun, and still incorporate some learning into summer vacation. If you'd like to follow the things that we will be doing for our alphabet list, check us out here.
This does not have to be extravagant or expensive. The important thing is just spending time as a family. Some ideas may be:
Letter M: movie night (at home or at the theater)
Letter G: game night
Letter B: bubbles
Letter H: hiking
Letter S: swimming
Letter Z: a trip to the zoo
Letter C: craft night
Letter P: make your own pizza night
And so on and so forth. I hope you join us in this alphabet adventure! Have fun and can't wait to hear what fun things you do!
