Summer is the perfect time to keep kids engaged with fun and enriching activities. Here are some great ideas:

1. Adventure with Deafverse

2. Language Activities for Kids with Hearing Loss

3. Listening and Language Activities from Listen Foundation

Check out the Listen Foundation's June Listening and Language activities calendar, crafted by their lead Listening and Spoken Language Therapist. These activities are geared towards preschool and elementary age children. 

4. Outdoor Exploration

Encourage kids to explore nature with activities like scavenger hunts, nature walks, and outdoor sports. These activities promote physical health and curiosity.

5. Pretend Play and Role-Playing

Create scenarios like restaurants or stores where kids can role-play. This helps them practice vocabulary, social skills, and imaginative play in a fun setting.

6. Science Experiments

Simple science experiments can be both educational and entertaining. Try projects like making slime, volcano eruptions, or growing crystals to spark curiosity and learning.

7. Reading Challenges

Create a summer reading list or challenge with rewards for completing books. This encourages a love for reading and improves literacy skills.

8. Cooking and Baking

Involve kids in the kitchen with simple recipes. This teaches them practical skills, math (measuring ingredients), and following instructions, all while having fun.

9. Music and Dance

Encourage kids to explore music by playing instruments, singing, or dancing. This can be a great way to express creativity and build confidence.

10. Community Service

Engage children in community service projects like helping at a local food bank, cleaning up parks, or visiting elderly neighbors. This fosters empathy and social responsibility.

By incorporating these activities, you can ensure a summer full of fun, learning, and engagement for kids.
