Kids 'No Screen' Summer Activities

Summer Activities for kids!

I've gotten asked a few times this spring/summer so far, what are some activities that my kids love to do that aren't related to any screens.

I thought that was a great idea and wanted to come up with a list of toy/activities that my kids love!

It truly is amazing when you let your kids get a little bit bored what their minds start to create, imagine play and how much fun they have!!



Inflatable Paddle Board - I lost count on how many of these inflatable paddle boards we have. They are for all ages, adults, teens and young kids. We couldnt recommend these more if you have a spot by water that you go to in the summer!


Corn Hole   - This game is also a game for all ages, older and younger!


Volleyball Set   - Last summer we invested in this Volleyball set and let me tell you, it is a huge hit! Especially for the teens when friends are over. We use it at the cabin mainly but we bring it home too since it's a nightly summer hit.


Reusable Water Balloons   - these have been a favorite in our house for years now. The kids have already used them this spring/summer. I highly recommend. Bye bye water balloon cleanup days.


Goggles   - here's another easy/cheap one for hours of entertainment. My kids LOVE these easy use goggles when they are swimming in the pool or lake. We have bought many many pairs for extras for friends.


Axe Throwing - I found this game last year to add to our outdoor game selection and it's become a favorite too.


Action Bible   - A quiet activity for a kiddo. Beckett absolutely loves this action Bible. He's gone through it many times now.


Springless Trampoline - We invested and surprised the kids with this springless trampoline. The safety of the springless is amazing. We highly recommend it. All 4 of our kids spend hours and hours on it all throughout the year.


Air Tumbling Mat - We have had this tumbling mat for maybe 3 years now. Perfect for in the garage or basement to get all those many wiggles out!


Aerial Hammock   - Another great inside outside game!


Spikeball - The best portable outdoor game! To the beach, park, pool, anywhere this game can go!


BucketGolf   - This one is our family's latest obsession. Our boys haven't gone a day or so without playing it in the evenings. Such a hit and FUN! Golf clubs here.


Play Nine Game - We love this card game, we play it a lot during the colder months and it's on the older teen boy will play as well as our 9-year-old Ruby!


Headbandz Game - Another fun one you should have in your game cabinet, toddlers and adults love this one!


Electric Scooter - These were a gift to Beckett and Ruby for Christmas this past year and they LOVE them! From cruising at the cabin or going down to get the mail, or just around the driveway!


Water Color Book - The perfect anytime of year creative activity. We do these with teen/adult cousins or kynlee and I will do one together. Such a calm, fun and pretty activity! They have different ones available for different seasons.


Laser Tag - Comes in a 4 pack so you can do teams or individual. Our teens and youngers all enjoy this one.


Pretend Play Cards - Pretend play cards WE LOVE!!! They have tons of different ones to pick from Teacher, Vet, Hair Salon etc. A must for elementary kids. These are other good ones too.
