There are always a few children who are sorry to see the year end, but for the majority the last day of school is the best day of the year! Depending on where you live and the way the school year is scheduled, kids are usually out for summer for two months or longer. That’s two months of sleeping in and enjoying all their favorite activities. If you want to get off to a great start, here are some ways to celebrate the end of the school year:
•For girls, a sleepover is one of the best ways to have a party. This is a great way for her to celebrate with her friends without being in school. Rent movies, order pizza, and let them stay up as late as they want! Depending on their ages, you may want to provide activities for them like play makeup or board games.
•For boys, pitch a tent in the backyard or build a tree house where they can have their own special “boys’ club”. This is a great way for them to enjoy having their friends over and for having sleepovers of their own. Only camp out in the back yard if it is secured, and an adult is willing to supervise.
•Surprise them with tickets to a show for their favorite characters or performers. From Elmo to Hannah Montana, there is something that every child of any age will enjoy.
•Go to the closest amusement park. They have always been a favorite way for kids to enjoy their free time and the larger theme parks have something to offer every child of every age with many featuring characters from favorite TV shows as well!
•Go to the water park. Even though your child likes to swim, there’s nothing that’s more fun than the slides and splashes you get from a water park. Some amusement parks have water parks in them as well so you can enjoy both events in one!
•Give them gift cards to rent movies. The video stores won’t let them rent something that isn’t age appropriate and they can choose what they want to watch and budget their movie allowance or splurge on the first week!
•Take kids shopping (with a set budget if needed) and let them choose an activity they would like to have for the summer.
•Go to the movies. Instead of watching a movie at home, go to the theater and buy a tub of popcorn and a drink while you sit back and watch with surround sound.
Once you have found the ideal way to celebrate the end of the school year, make a tradition out of it. Doing the same thing each year will be a great way to mark your child’s/children’s milestones.
You may also ask your child which celebration he/she would prefer and get ideas that you hadn’t even thought of. Just keep in mind, it is a celebration for the kids and you want to do something that they will enjoy!
