All Summer long we’ve offered the very best Summer Fun Tip of the Day, a fresh idea on how to have fun and stay safe all summer long!
Friday, 6/5 | Tip #10: CANNONBALL!! Swimming is a great way to cool off in the summer, but children should always wear life jackets when on boats or near bodies of water. It’s also a great time to learn how to swim! Keep in mind, though, that children may not be ready for swimming lessons until after their 4th birthday. And, of course, kids should never swim without supervision. For more tips to help your kids swim safe, click here!
Thursday, 6/4 | Tip #9: Be a tourist in your own town – visit downtown, museums, parks, and other monuments that you might have not seen in a long time. Maybe you’ll discover something new, like the Batture or the recently opened Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park! Plus, it’s an inexpensive way to have a vacation and support the local economy, and there’s SO much to enjoy in Southeast Louisiana. Click here for more hometown tourist ideas!
Wednesday, 6/3 | Tip #8: Host a family talent show. It’s a great way for kids to show off their singing and dancing, or reveal hidden talents (pogo stick jumping!), involve the family in their hobbies (magic tricks! yo-yos! Forrest Frank TikTok dances!) and more. Bonus: it’s a great indoor activity for those occasional thunderstorm-y summer afternoons!
Tuesday, 6/2 | Tip #7: Add a very important (and fashionable) summer fun accessory to your wardrobe and keep those shades on! Sunglasses are like sunscreen for your eyes. Protect them against damage that can occur from UV rays. Click here to find the best shades to fit your face. And never look directly at the sun, even while wearing sunglasses!
Monday, 6/1 | Tip #6: Today’s the day to try a snowball flavor you’ve never tried before. Tried them all? Well, this time, try not to spill any of your snowball all over your shoes. (Lookin’ at you, Tigers Blood.) Can’t avoid the snowball stains? Have a craft day with the kids and let them paint their canvas sneakers with fabric paint pens or acrylic paint!
Friday, 5/29 | Tip #5: Camp safe! It’s best to go camping with at least one companion. Before going, check weather conditions and leave a copy of your itinerary with family or friends. And don’t forget the s’mores!
Thursday, 5/28 | Tip #4: How berry cool would it be to take the family on a berry picking trip, and make some creative berry-recipes once you get home? Berry, BERRY cool. And delicious, too! To find a pick-your-own berry farm near you, click here!
Wednesday 5/27 | Tip #3: Make plans to send the kids to Vacation Bible School this summer! So many local churches are planning so many fun things all summer long, and it’s a great way to help your child learn more about Jesus. Find a VBS near you on our LifeSongs VBS Calendar!
Tuesday, 5/26 | Tip #2: Summer Fun is on a ROLL with the LifeSongs Summer Fun Skate Nights! They’re back, every Tuesday this summer, starting TONIGHT! What’s more fun than showing off that you can still backwards skate or shoot the duck? We’ve got your summer fun soundtrack 6-8pm!
Monday, 5/25 | Tip #1: Today’s the unofficial kick-off to summer fun, and the perfect day to get your Putt-Putt on! Can’t make it to an actual golf course? Try setting up your own home course in your driveway by laying different sized containers on their sides!
