30 Fun Summer Ideas for Teens and Their Parents
1. Go to a jump park.
2. Go roller skating.
3. Head to an indoor rock climbing center.
4. Go bowling.
5. Take a class. Art, cooking, pottery, archery, gun safety – what interests do you and your teen share that would be fun to explore together?
6. Start a family book club. Find a book that you’ll both (or all) enjoy and have your own family book club.
7. Go to the second run movie theater.
8. Go out for ice cream.
9. Make homemade ice cream or ice pops.
10. Go camping.
11. Go swimming.
12. Take a hike.
13. Do a service project.
14. Go to an amusement park. (Here are tips for Disney World.)
15. Start a family fitness routine.
16. Start a journal together. My youngest and I have a shared journal. Sometimes it’s easier for kids to say something in a journal than in person.
17. Go to the mall. This can be fun even if you don’t have much money for shopping. Try on silly hats and take photos on your phone or take and text photos of what you’d buy someone if you had the money. It’ll make them smile knowing that you’re thinking of them.
18. Go thrift store shopping.
19. Have a movie marathon. This is especially fun if you have a favorite movie series. Make popcorn and/or order pizza and watch them all in order.
20. Go out for breakfast. (Or make some of these homemade breakfast options together.)
21. Play laser tag.
22. Play Frisbee (or disc golf).
23. Head to the Go Kart track.
25. Have a video game marathon.
26. Go to a major or minor league baseball game.
27. Play fun games in the backyard, like badminton, volleyball, croquet, or bean bag toss.
28. Have a water gun (or balloon) war. (You’re never too old for a water gun war.)
29. Ride bikes.
30. Host a sleepover. Okay, maybe this isn’t something you really want to do with them, but it might just get you cool mom points.
