Summertime Bucket List Activities to Do at Home
If you're wondering what to do with the kids or with yourself for home-based leisure activities, keep reading for a list of fun ideas!
Make Your Own Backyard Pool
If you can’t make it to the community pool, no problem! You can easily make your own using a kiddie pool, some plants, and some creativity. Just set up your pool in the sunniest spot in your yard, fill it with water, and add some greenery around the edge. Voila… an instant oasis!
Have a Picnic
A popular activity is a picnic with friends, family, and summertime favorites. Spread out a blanket in your backyard or on your deck, and enjoy all of your favorite summertime foods like watermelon, burgers, and potato salad. Don't forget to bring some mosquito repellent so you can enjoy your meal in peace!
Have a Water Balloon Fight
Water balloon fights are always a hit, no matter your age. Fill up some water balloons, grab the kids and duke it out in the yard! Just be sure to clean up all the balloons when you're done.
Make Homemade Ice Cream
Who doesn't love ice cream in the summertime? Luckily, it's easy to make your own! Just blend together some heavy cream, sugar, your favorite fruits or berries, and vanilla extract. Then pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours. Once it's fully frozen, scoop it out and enjoy!
Go On a Nature Scavenger Hunt
Get the kids up and moving with this one. Make a list of items to find, like dandelions, clover, leaves of different shapes/colors, pinecones, acorns, etc. Then head outside to see how many you can find. This activity is great for getting some fresh air and spending time in nature.
Set Up a Movie Night
Staying home doesn't mean you can't enjoy a fun movie night. If you’re a fan of outdoor movies, a white sheet and a projector will do the job. If it’s too hot and buggy outside, head for the couch in the family room. Make some popcorn, break out the blankets and pillows, and queue up your favorite flick. Don't forget the snacks!
Relax in Your Backyard Oasis
Take some time for yourself to relax and rejuvenate in your backyard oasis. Soak up the sun with a good book, take a dip in your pool, or just sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Have a Girls' Night/Guys' Night In
What's more fun than a lively night at home with friends. Get your closest pals together to play games, watch movies or just catch up over your favorite wine or beers.
Have a Romantic Dinner for Two
Make things special for you and your significant other with a romantic dinner for two. Cook your favorite meal, light some candles, and enjoy some quality time together. Make it special!
