What is a Summer Bucket List for Kids?
A summer bucket list for kids is a great idea. It is something kids get to look forward to doing all summer. And, it helps to answer that nagging question that kids always ask throughout the summer, what are we doing today?
You may have done a bucket list for places you want to travel to or things you want to do and a summer bucket list is kind of like that. The only difference of this summer bucket for kids is that you have a lot less time to complete it than you get with most bucket list.
If you’ve never done a bucket list before, a bucket list just basically has a bunch of things on that you want to do. You can make one for things you want to do before 30, things to do before you die, or something a little more simple like things you want to do this summer. As you finish each item on your bucket list, you cross it off and move to the next. The goal is to complete your bucket list, but sometimes people only complete a few items on their bucket list. Whatever you get done, you get done. You can either follow your list strictly or be more lenient and add or take away items while you’re doing it.
