110 Summer Bucket List Ideas For Kids With Free Printable Charts

It’s summer time! Which means it’s time to do all the fun things that just don’t quite fit in to the schedule of schools days, homework, dinner and bedtime routines. And well there just aren’t enough weekends of summer weather… at least not where we live now.

Incase you don’t know we moved from Florida to Michigan in 2019. So we are learning to appreciate summer and the fact that it’s not read round! It’s also not as hot here during summer so we are loving it.

So now that it’s summer you might be thinking yes summer vibes, summer activities, summer bucket list. And then draw a blank. So I’ve wrote up a list of 110 things you could possibly add to your summer bucket list.

We have a chalkboard we write ours on but if you don’t have an actual place to write yours down. Don’t fret. I have a free resource library with blank printable bucket lists and even a blank bucket list bingo card.

The bingo card makes it extra fun if you have multiple children. They can choose 24 things to do together write them in any of their boxes they want to mix it up from each other. And then as you do them they get to mark them off and see who hits bingo first. There’s a free space in the middle because well it’s bingo!

So to the list of 100 things you could do this summer (quarantine style too).

P.S. there’s a save-able or pin-able graphic with the entire list on it at the end.
