Picnics are a great way to have fun in the summer! Packing a lunch, and blanket or lawn chairs, and finding a space at the park can be a wonderful memory for the whole family.
There are several great parks in the City of Harker Heights thanks to our Parks & Recreation team!
Try to play a game of I Spy with your Family! You can play at home or outside. Take turns and start off with "I spy...". For example, if you see a yellow flower at the park, you can say "I spy something yellow!" And everyone can take turns guessing what you see that is yellow. Try using adjectives and adverbs instead of what the object is!
Adjectives are words that describe something. For example:
If you see an ice cream cone, you can say "I spy something cold!"
If you see a rock that shines in the sunlight, you can say "I spy something shiny!"
Inspired by Pedro's Yo-Yos: How a Filipino Immigrant Came to America and Changed the World of Toys.
Draw your idea for brand new toy to change the world, just like Pedro!
Embrace your inner child while involving the family with these ideas for summer fun.
Do something nice and show kindness to others! These activities are great ways to show your generosity.
Get your little ones to expand their horizons. This can be accomplished by trying something new or seeing things in a different light. Teach your little ones that you don’t have to travel far to explore new things—wonderment can be found everywhere!
Small gestures make the most difference on a daily basis. It's easy to get so preoccupied with our own lives that we forget about others, but with just one simple act of kindness, we can change the way someone else's day goes, and we can better ourselves and the world in the process. This challenge is designed for you to take the time to do something for someone else — and hopefully they will pay it forward to the next person!
Books can take you around the world and back, even if you're only in your backyard! Show us all the fun and exciting places you read by marking each place you read. Get out and read!
