The sun is out, the water is warm… I think it’s time for the Summer activities to start!
My favorite season ever is Summer (especially growing up, because school was out for a few months), but even if you are done with school, you can still make it a Summer to remember. A lot of people get bored in the Summer, but I say let’s stop that right now, because Summer really is the best! In my opinion, everything gets better in Summer… And yes – no matter how far along we’re in it, there is still time to do them all and make this Summer your best yet.
50 Fun Things to Do in Summer
Here is my list of 50 fun Summer activities to do.
- Make ice cream sandwiches. I suppose I don’t even need to explain this one, but two slices of bread + ice cream in the center. Yum.
- Fly a kite.
- Have a garage sale. This is a great time to do a little bit of cleaning up and selling some of your things that others might need.
- Make a lemonade stand. They were SO fun as kids, no?
- Read a good book in a hammock.
- Get a part time job. Why not add to your resume and work experience by getting a summer job? Also: more pocket money to go shopping!
- Build sand castles on the beach.
- Go to an outdoor movie.
- Make popsicles. Nothing is more cooling and Summer-y than popsicles. Check out How to: Stay Hydrated in Summer for some other ways to stay cool in this weather.
- Volunteer at an animal shelter.
- Go a summer block buster movies. I’m Marvel obsessed, so whatever they are putting out this summer, I know it’ll be great.
- Go on a hike.
- Learn how to bake.
- Have a water balloon fight.

- Have a picnic. Why not bring those ice cream sandwiches to the park and have a picnic?
