Hey Friends,

One of my favorite family traditions every single summer is making a giant summer bingo board. Every season, we sit down together, come up with a bunch of fun things we want to do, and hang the bingo board right on the fridge. Then all summer long we slowly mark things off as we do them.

I love it because it gives us ideas. On those random afternoons where everyone is bored and it feels too easy to default to screens, we can glance at the bingo board and immediately find something fun to do.

Sometimes it is something super simple like eating popsicles outside and visiting a new playground. Other times, it is bigger things we already have planned like a camping trip or a weekend at the lake. I always encourage people to add those bigger plans too because it gives your family something to look forward to all summer long.
