Summer Fun With Grandchildren
Comments(2)
Boy howdy it’s hot! It was only 97 degrees today. But, as we were doing yard work, it felt like 117 degrees!!
Some of my readers are very interested in doing activities with their grandchildren now that school is out. I’ve got several ideas up my sleeves. I need to finish writing up one activity. But, in the mean time, here are a couple of activities that you can do in the cool of your home.
A Wee Bit O’ Fun is a math activity. It is a square with blank boxes where you can put in numbers. However, there are math functions like add, subtract, or multiply between these boxes. The answer is given at the end of the row. You have to fill in the correct numbers to come up with the given answer. This activity is good for older grade school aged children to high schoolers. (It might be rather easy for grandchildren who are in high school.) Give it a try! It’s a wee bit o’ fun!
Baby animals is a very simple cross word puzzle where you have to figure out the names of different types of baby animals. This is fun for early elementary aged grandchildren to do. Grandma might have to help with the spelling — or even writing in the words.
Goin’ Crazy Maze is definitely a challenge for someone who likes to do mazes. This is more for older elementary aged grandchildren up to high school aged ones. This will keep a grandchild busy for quite some time!
These three documents are in PDF format which means that you can download them and then print them up for your use. You can make as many copies as you would like.
Will you be having a family reunion sometime this summer? I’m in the process of getting things set up so that you can get personalized puzzles and games that you could use at your reunion. If all goes well, things should be up and running by the end of this week (before I leave for OUR reunion!).
I hope you enjoy these three little activities.

At the end of the summer I do a back to school party for all of my grandchildren who will be heading back to school. It is for Pre-school and up.
It is just a couple of hours long in the afternoon. It is a tradition with my grandchildren and they plan on it happening every year. I have a different theme every year with a variety of fun activities.
My blog shares my activity and theme ideas. Invites always go out, I decorate the party space like a classroom, the time is filled with fun learning activities and snacks are served on school lunch trays, I always give them a goodie bag filled with back to school supplies, and for some odd reason it is a tradition that we dance the Hokey Pokey together every year. They love seeing their grandma shaking her hips all about!
Tip: I usually purchase the back to school supplies for the goodie bags almost a year ahead of time when they all go on clearance just after school starts.
