Last year I started creating an activity calendar at the beginning of each month and displaying it on the fridge.
Every time I’m looking for an easy and fun activity to try with the kids, I quickly look at the calendar and put one of the ideas in the practice.
This made it a lot easy for me to keep the kids busy and spend quality time together, and added more fun to every day.
During the summer months, we decided to try a much simple version of our monthly calendars because we already planned a fun Summer Camp at Home and we are focusing on themed activities every week.
If you are looking for easy activity prompts to keep kids busy and have fun together this month, I invite you to try this calendar as well!
You can also find more details about our Summer Camp at Home below, in case you want to try it with your kids.

Summer Camp at Home: Our plan for a fun summer at home
We keep our summer activity calendars very simple because we are focusing on our “summer camp at home” that gives us something fun to do every day during the summer.
We first tried this last year and it was a great way to make our summer schedule easier to manage and a lot more fun.
Here is how our summer camp at home works:
- For every week of the summer vacation we choose a theme and plan one activity to do every weekday based on that theme.
- For every theme we also prepare a list of books to read together and a few fun weekend activities to try as a family.
- I make a supply list for every week to make sure I have all the materials at hand when we need them, and we set a time every day to do the activities.
⭐ If you would like to try this idea with your kids this summer, you can download our Summer Camp at Home pack here.
The 8-week activity guide (suitable for kids ages 4-8) will make it easy for you to keep your kids busy and creative this summer. And I’m pretty sure you and your kids will enjoy it!
