From doctor’s appointments for school physicals, waiting in line at amusement parks or riding in the car on road trips, waiting is everywhere this summer. Use the down time to stop summer brain drain. Make a game out of reciting the alphabet or the geography of our country. Remember, learning games can also be played in the car on road trips. I’ve added a couple art and movement activities to ramp up the fun factor and keep it visual. These activities should keep them busy for hours. But just to change it up a bit, don’t forget to try the classics like, I Spy and 20 Questions. Keep it light and fun!
