Fun Activities to Support Summer Learning at Home

Summer break is a great time for kids to unwind. However, the time away from the classroom can lead to learning loss and boredom. This can present challenges for parents to keep their children entertained while also supporting continued learning. From exploring the great outdoors to creative DIY, here is a list of ways to keep the boredom away while strengthening developmental skills.

1. Get outside!

Playing outside is beneficial for a number of reasons. It can help children socialize, learn new skills, develop gross motor functioning, utilize problem solving skills, and engage in imaginative play.

Head outside for a neighborhood scavenger hunt. There are many examples online or you could make one of your own that could include looking for: objects of certain colors, shapes, specific animals/bugs, or street signs.

Watch the Summer Olympics and make your own “events” at home. Some “event” ideas include: bean bag toss, balance beam (using a scrap 2X4), water bucket relay, water balloon toss, frisbee throwing, and a bicycle obstacle course.

Go to a local park and climb on the playground equipment, play hopscotch, practice your basketball or soccer skills, or play four-square.

Learn a new outdoor activity such as croquet, bocce ball, jump rope, or gaga ball.

Plant a veggie garden. Not only is this a fun way to incorporate math, science, and reading, but you can reap the tasty benefits all summer long (and maybe like new veggies in the process).

2. Read, read, read!

All reading is great! This can include reading junk mail, magazines, newspapers, or even the signs on a road trip. The goal is to keep your children excited about reading.

Go to the library on a weekly basis and check out new books.

Start a summer reading challenge at home, such as reading 15 minutes a day or setting a goal of reading one book a week.

Have a family book club. Choose a book to read as a family and then discuss it together afterwards. You can talk about your favorite/least favorite parts, rate it, or if you would recommend it to others.

3. Make math fun!

Family activities are a fun, practical way to practice and apply math skills.

Bake a cake

Follow a recipe – or try to double a recipe

Learn to knit, crochet, or cross stitch. There are many videos online to assist in getting you started or check out a book from your local library.

Make Wednesday nights (or night of the week) Family Game Night! Board games are a great way to incorporate math in a fun, practical way. Some of my personal family favorites for a variety of ages are Sorry!, Monopoly, Connect Four, Trouble, BINGO, Yahtzee, Chutes and Ladders, Sequence, Cribbage, and Shut Box.

4 Get creative!

Engaging in DIY/arts and crafts can help children learn patience, improve their fine motor skills, develop creativity, and provide an outlet for self-expression.

Gather smooth rocks and paint colorful designs, animals, or inspirational sayings on them. You can then place them around your neighborhood as a fun surprise for others to find.

Make sock puppets. Scour your drawers for old socks and use buttons, googly eyes, yarn, and fabric scraps to make puppets. Your children can then use their sock puppets to perform a play.

Create magic wands. Gather small sticks from your yard and use glitter, clay, pipe cleaners, yarn, and cardboard to make them colorful and unique. (These could also be used in your sock puppet play!)

Get together with friends to make friendship bracelets using embroidery floss or yarn. Check out a book from the library to learn how to make different knots.

Get creative and explore different mediums and surfaces. Try out mediums such as magic markers, watercolor paints, tempera paints, oil pastels, colored pencils, crayons, or permanent markers. Try them out on different surfaces that would otherwise be thrown away, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, styrofoam, or aluminum foil. The limit is your imagination!

These activities can be tailored to the age and interests of your child. You can incorporate open ended questions in each of these activities to further build vocabulary skills and enhance back-and-forth conversational skills. Whatever you decide to do, make learning fun! While worksheets and workbooks are also ways to continue supporting learning, they can be boring and children are less inclined to participate. Have a blast this summer enjoying the time off while continuing to support learning at home!

🎨 This is the last mini set I have at the moment- the pearly “Pall Mall” set inspired by Bridgerton. The other three sold within the last week. They make great gifts! This set comes with two brushes; a tiny one and one that you fill with water, a tiny ring that holds water (you can stretch it slightly to fit) and a handmade watercolor book. I collected a few different kinds of paper for you to use with your new paints. It’s a great bargain and everything is neatly stored in reusable bags. #gift #giftset #watercolors #painting #watercolorpaint #bridgerton #pallmall #croquet #pearlpaint #handmadewatercolors #watercolorart #portable #artist #artsupplies #art #travel #travelset https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3VhzjPLwb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND by Lewis Carroll. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1868 [1866].) Illustrations by John Tenniel. Cosway art binding with a fine miniature watercolor by Miss C.B. Currey.

‘A double Cosway binding of burgundy levant morocco by Rivière and Son, all edges gilt; each side with a central inset miniature on ivory under glass (visible image size of each one 70 mm), with gilt fillets radiating from them to ornate hand-tooled foliate frames, with gilt-decorated green morocco onlays in the corners and centres; recently (and exquisitely) rebacked to match by Bayntun (who acquired the Rivière stock of binding tools in 1939), with the spine gilt in compartments with five raised bands and four green morocco onlays; dark green watered silk doublures within only slightly less-ornate frames on the pastedowns.’

A lavish Cosway binding (possibly circa 1910-1913), with miniatures by Miss C.B. Currie after Tenniel's illustrations; the front doublure is stamped in gilt 'Miniatures by C.B. Currie'. The scenes depicted are Alice (with flamingo / croquet mallet) and the Duchess on the front cover, and Alice and the Dodo on the rear.

TASK SIX.

I daresay, PRINCESS LUCY is absolutely divine at PAINTING, FASHION, AND PENMANSHIP. And an accomplished SOCIALITE, too. Though – did you know – SHE is dreadfully poor at LATIN, MOST EDUCATIONAL SUBJECTS, AND BADMINTON? We do hope that won’t harm her prospects.

MATTERS OF SPORT. Horse Riding 2 Carriage Driving (e.g., phaetons, barouches) 2 Croquet 0 Badminton -1 Fencing 1 In her previous life as an independent heiress, Lucy took great pleasure in her autonomy. This included an aptitude to drive her own small carriage when she pleased, and to practice fencing with her cousin, Charlie. Badminton is a running jest in their family, for Lucy is more likely to get hit in the head with the birdie than bat it over the net. She has never taken an interest in croquet. MATTERS OF SOCIALIZATION. Dancing 2 Etiquette 2 Fashion 3 Penmanship 3 Playing Cards 1 Grammar 1  Witticisms 2 Lucy excels at socialization, and it isn’t surprising that this is her highest category. She loves to dance (though perhaps lacks the attention that mastery would require), and has enough etiquette to move her through social situations with grace. Her heart lies with fashion, however, and not only due to her former status as the heiress of Needham Textiles Limited. Her penmanship is excellent, as she is (undiagnosed) dyslexic and takes great pains to write -- and re-write -- her letters until they are perfect. She is witty, though lacks enough attention for serious card-playing, and finds grammar an inhibitor toward cheerful speech. MATTERS OF EDUCATION. Mathematics -1 Natural Sciences 1 History 1 Reading -1 Politics 1 Geography 1 Literature -2 Philosophy -1 Religion -1 “One of the most egregiously difficult students I have ever had the misfortune to counsel,” said one tutor. Lessons were especially painful for the young Miss Needham -- letters and numbers have a way of jumbling on the page, and she struggled to keep even the barest of good marks in those subjects. She is not daft, however. On subjects where the lessons could be visual, or perhaps ask for a bit of wit -- such as geography, natural sciences, and politics -- Lucy is a servicable student. MATTERS OF LANGUAGE. French 1 Italian 0 German 2 Greek 0 Latin -1 Spanish 0 (other) - e.g., Arabic, English (if not first language), etc. 0 There was little hope for Lucy with her languages, and it did not prove to be a hidden talent. She has a rudimentary command of French from her childhood, and her progress in German has been the work of several tutors and her own dedication. The rest -- Latin, particularly -- have been a foolish endeavor. MATTERS OF ARTISTIC PROWESS. Pianoforte [+/- Accompaniment] 1 Violin 0 Harp 0 Singing 0 Painting 3 Drawing 2 Art has always been Lucy’s forte. She is an exemplary painter in both oil and watercolor, and has the ability to both remember a scene, a person, a moment, and create it with her hands that few can claim. Conversely, she tries to learn the piano every eight months or so -- and quickly loses interest. She can play three songs. MATTERS PERTAINING TO LADIES. Needlework 0 Embroidery 1 Of all the skills her guardian, Lady Gow, wished for her -- she wished for the most delicate of feminine arts, sewing. Lucy has neither the patience nor the perfectionism that needlework requires, though she has made some passing embroidery. Along the way, she exchanged her needle for a paintbrush, and began to paint silks while Lady Gow sewed. It was an acceptable compromise.

✧ PERSONALITY ✧

MBTI Type: ENFJ — the protagonist 

→ ENFJs are idealist organizers, driven to implement their vision of what is best for humanity. They often act as catalysts for human growth because of their ability to see potential in other people and their charisma in persuading others to their ideas. They are focused on values and vision, and are passionate about the possibilities for people.

Enneagram Type: 1w9 — the idealist 

→ Enneagram Type One wing Nine personalities have all the main characteristics of the Type One, but also resemble the Type Nine in some ways. These Ones are generally calmer than other Type Ones and they possess a strong sense of right and wrong. They are more open to new ideas and perspectives than a typical One. They may appear quieter and more withdrawn than other Type Ones as well. Like Type Nines, this type seeks peace and avoids conflict. 1w9s are drawn to careers in psychology, social work, journalism and politics.

Positive Traits: Intelligent, kind, friendly, open-minded, reliable, altruistic, charismatic, responsible; outgoing, organized, courageous, practical, hardworking, diligent

Comforting Things: Bertie ; Being with her sister ; watching snow fall ; watching the waves break on the beach 

Interests & Hobbies: Reading ; embroidery ; scrapbooking ; horse riding ; croquet ; watercolors

Description: A kind and intelligent woman, Georgie has a tendency to put everyone else in front of herself, especially her sister. In addition, Georgie is incredibly stubborn and can sometimes be prone to grudges. However, she tries to see the best in everyone. She enjoys being around people, but keeps her personal life very private. Georgie doesn’t mind confrontations, but doesn’t seek them out and she refuses to keep her opinions to herself just to avoid a confrontation. She has a big heart, which is often noticeable.

✧ MAGIC ✧

Wand: Georgie’s wand is made of larch wood with a dragon heartstring core and it is 10 inches with an unyielding flexibility. 

→ Larch wands had a reputation for instilling confidence and courage in the user. The celebrated wandmaker Garrick Ollivander found that larch always created wands of hidden talents and unexpected effects, which likewise described the master who deserved it. It was often the case that the witch or wizard who belonged to the larch wand might never realise the full extent of their considerable talents until paired with it, but that they would then make an exceptional match.

Other Magical Abilities: None 

Patronus: Chestnut mare 

Patronus Memory: A walk in a Dublin park with her sister, father, and corgi shortly after the family moved there. It was the first time that Georgie felt a modicum of peace after the death of her mother. 

Boggart: The pale, thin, and consumption-ravaged figure of her sister or her love interest 

Riddikulus: The consumption-ravaged figure turns out to be a butter cookie person

Amortentia:

Georgie smells like thyme, lilies, lemons, and peppermint.

Georgie smells cinnamon, chocolate, leather, and cologne.

✧ FAMILY ✧

Father: Kiran Rohan Parsons [deceased, 1854-1897]

Kiran was born in 1854 in Dublin, Ireland to George and Sonia Parsons. He was their only surviving child as his younger sister passed away as an infant. George and Sonia weren’t the wealthiest, but they had a stable wealth which allowed them to have a few luxuries. Unfortunately, in 1870, when Kiran was sixteen, his mother contracted typhoid fever from her workplace. It miraculously missed Kiran and George. Sonia’s fatal case of typhoid fever would be the first of three diseases to define Kiran’s life.

The next illness came just three years later, when Kiran was nineteen. His father was diagnosed with cancer. Kiran paid a substantial sum for a surgery to remove the cancer. Unfortunately, like many surgeries of the time, it was quite unhygienic and George Parsons passed away from surgical complications. With little money left after his father’s death, Kiran decided to take a position on a merchant’s ship that was to sail west to the Americas and then east to Asia.

When Kiran was 24, his ship landed in a port city in India. Purely by accident, Kiran stumbled upon his future wife, Priya. He fell hard and fast, quickly offering to buy her a bauble or sweet. Five months later, Kiran and Priya were married. They spent their first six months of marriage learning about one another. The next eighteen months were defined by Kiran’s attempts to find a new shipping job that required less travel and their struggles to have a much desired child.

At the age of 27, Kiran’s eldest daughter was born five weeks prematurely on January 31, 1881. Kiran and Priya christened her Georgiana Reva Parsons, in honor of Kiran’s late father. Shortly after that, Kiran nicknamed his daughter “Georgie” and it stuck. Two years later, at the age of 29, Kiran’s youngest daughter was born on September 13, 1883. Kiran adored his daughters, and his wife. He worked hard to provide for his family, but always made sure to dedicate time to spend with his daughters.

The third and final disease to marr Kiran’s life was tuberculosis. In the summer of 1885, his wife was diagnosed with consumption. Her remaining two years were stressful, but Kiran kept an optimistic face, even as things were starting to fail. Eventually, his wife passed away and Kiran was devastated. Ten months after Priya’s death, Kiran moved his daughters back to Dublin. He threw himself into his work, often at the expense of spending time with his daughters as he refused to fully accept his wife’s death. He left his daughters to fend for themselves, with the exception of the governess he hired for them. 

In April of 1897, when he was 43, Kiran was involved in a fatal shipyard accident. He died of an infection two days after the accident. 

Prior to her mother’s passing, Georgie was quite close with her father. She really looked up to him. Sadly, their relationship began to disappear after her mother’s death as Kiran began spending more and more time at work. Georgie loved her father fiercely, though. It was a love that lasted up until, and beyond the day that  he died. 

Faceclaim: Himesh Patel

Mother: Priya Nishet Parsons [deceased, 1857-1888]

Priya was born in India in 1857 to Navin and Madeline Carter as their only daughter. She had a stable childhood and knew what her parents expected of her, even after they died suddenly in an accident. However, it was that event that led Priya to meeting her future husband, Kiran Parsons, when she was 21. They married five months after their first meeting. 

On January 31, 1881, when she was 24, Priya's eldest daughter was born five weeks prematurely. Those first few months with Georgie were quite stressful, as Priya and Kiran were always on edge with the fear of losing their new daughter. Thankfully, they grew more comfortable with their daughter and two years later, on September 13, 1883, Priya's younger daughter, Divya, was born. Priya adored both her daughters and wished for more children, but was told that it would be unsafe by a midwife. Therefore, she doted on her two daughters, lavishing them with love. 

Sadly, Priya was diagnosed with consumption in 1885. She tried her best to fight the disease, even trying a TB sanatorium for six months. After determining that the sanatorium wasn’t very helpful, Priya spent the remainder of her life at home in quarantine in a separate building. She communicated with her daughters through the windows and doors, while her husband visited once a week. Eventually, though, Priya succumbed to consumption in 1888. 

Georgie was close to her mother and held mostly good memories of her mother, even during her illness. She loved her mother and Priya never forgot to remind her daughters how much she loved them. After her mother’s death, Georgie tried her best to emulate her mother to the best of her abilities. Priya was Georgie's version of the perfect mother. 

Faceclaim: Shelley Conn 

Sister: Divya Kamilah Parsons @endlessly-cursed

Born on September 13, 1883, Divya is the second daughter of Kiran and Priya Parsons, two years younger than Georgie, and a Hufflepuff. Georgie is very close with her little sister. However, she does take on a bit of a parental role with Divya, especially after the death of their mother. Georgie gets along quite well with Divya and they rarely fight. However, when they do fight, it can get quite nasty and bad.

Pets: 

Childhood: A corgi named Bertie 

Adulthood: A corgi ; an owl 

✧ ROMANCE & CHILDREN ✧

Love Interest(s): Angelo della Rovere (by @potionboy3)

→ Story details are TBD, but their relationship can be characterized as rivals to friends to lovers.

Son: Giovanni Deangelo “Gio” Rovere-Parsons

Hufflepuff | Keeper | Prefect | Demisexual | b. March 7, 1909

Georgie has a good relationship with her eldest son. In many ways, Gio is probably the child that takes after her the most, personality wise. This does cause some friction between mother and son, but they have a good relationship. Georgie is very proud of Gio and tries to support him in everything that he does. She loves him very much and wants to see him succeed and be the best version of himself. 

Faceclaim: Ali Hadji-Heshmati 

Son: Enzo Roy Rovere-Parsons

Slytherin | b. November 13, 1912 

Georgie has a good relationship with her younger son. She is very proud of Enzo and tries to support him in everything that he does. She loves him very much and wants him to succeed.

Faceclaim: Aidan Gallagher

Daughter: Reva Kamilah Rovere-Parsons

Hufflepuff | Prefect | Heterosexual | b. February 25, 1916 

Georgie has a good relationship with her daughter, and they are, perhaps, a little closer than Georgie and her sons. Reva takes after her father more in personality, but has Georgie’s desire to take the world by storm and show them what she can do. Georgie is very proud of her daughter and tries her best to support Reva in everything that she does. She loves her daughter dearly.

✧ HISTORY & BACKGROUND ✧

Place of Birth: A port city on the Western coast of India 

Hometown: A modern townhouse in Dublin where Georgie, her sister, and her father moved after the death of her mother

Childhood: 

Georgiana Reva Parsons was born five weeks early, on January 31, 1881 to Kiran and Priya Parsons. Due to this, the doctor believed that Georgie would not survive as she struggled to breathe in those first hours of life. However, a midwife with her own knowledge of childbirth and infants believed otherwise and her parents credited that midwife with saving Georgie’s life.

The following two years were uneventful but Kiran and Priya were quite protective of their elder daughter and her health. Then, on September 13, 1883, Divya Kamilah Parsons was born. Given that Divya was born without any complications, Kiran and Priya relaxed a little and their lives fell into a routine.

However, that routine ended when Georgie was six and her mother was diagnosed with consumption, or tuberculosis. This meant that Priya spent her remaining two years in quarantine to avoid infecting her beloved daughters and husband and even spent six months in a TB sanatorium. Her daughters kept contact by shouting to her through the windows. 

In the wee hours of the morning as a thunderstorm raged, Georgie snuck out of her bedroom to see her mother. The pale, thin, consumption-ravaged figure would haunt her for the rest of her life. However, it wasn’t until a DADA lesson on boggarts that she truly remembered the horror of that figure. Sadly, Priya Parsons passed away in 1888, when her daughter was seven.  

Her father was devastated, but buried his grief and sank into his work. Unfortunately, this left Georgie and Divya alone and they grew self-sufficient. Then, ten months after their mother’s death, Miran decided it was time to move back to his home city of Dublin. He had better career opportunities there, all of which offered more money and he took a job there in an attempt to escape the crushing hand of grief. They moved there when Georgie was eight.

As a gift, her father allowed her and Divya to adopted a pet. Georgie chose a corgi puppy, whom she named Bertie. Aside from that, nothing major happened during her childhood in Dublin. Her father immersed himself in his work, often leaving the girls in the care of a governess. However, Georgie took on a maternal role towards her sister and also took on a lot of the household roles normally held by a wife. She became very self-sufficient and tried not to rely on anyone else. 

On her eleventh birthday, Georgie received her Hogwarts letters. 

Hogwarts Years:

Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Georgie was sorted into Gryffindor. At Hogwarts, she made good friends, temporarily joined the house quidditch team, and became a prefect.

In the April of her fifth year, Georgie’s father was killed in a fatal shipyard accident. Stunned and numb, Georgie pushed aside more of her own emotions and began to deal with her new responsibilities. During that summer break, Georgie took on a job as a seamstress for a local dressmaker. The job didn’t pay much and it was very demanding. However, Georgie was determined to ensure that she and Divya were not kicked out of their home until they were ready. She kept that seamstress job until she graduated from Hogwarts and got a job as a clerk in a law office. 

Adulthood:

After graduating from Hogwarts and quitting her seamstress job, Georgie was employed as a clerk at the Law Office of Baxter, Bones, and Livingston. She clerked for eight years before convincing her bosses that she should become an apprentice and work towards becoming a lawyer. At the age of 30, she finally achieved her goal of becoming a lawyer and barrister. She argued many cases, although she would only be remembered for three cases. Nevertheless Georgie was one of the first women to successfully succeed in the field of law.

In addition, Georgie married Angelo Della Rovere at the age of 26. Together, they had three children. Their eldest son, Giovanni Deangelo “Gio” Rovere-Parsons was born on March 7, 1909 with their second son, Enzo Roy Rovere-Parsons being born three years later, on November 13, 1912. Their youngest child and only daughter, Reva Kamilah Parsons was born on February 25, 1916.

Old Age:

At the age of 73, Georgie retired from her long and successful career as a lawyer and barrister, although her career would only be remembered for three extraordinary cases. She spent the next forty years doing some advocate work. 

Death: 

In 1994, Georgiana Reva Parsons passed away at the age of 113. She died painlessly in her sleep. She lived a long and fulfilling life.

Trivia:

Georgie was named after her paternal grandfather, George Parsons.

Georgie’s beloved corgi, Bertie, was supposed to be a show dog. However, he got sick as a puppy and then, he was considered unsuitable to show.

During her time at Hogwarts, Georgie played in one quidditch game. She promptly discovered that she hated and quit the team the next day. Luckily, she was only a reserve chaser.

In her first year, Georgie attempted to smuggle Divya into Hogwarts. Her father found Divya before the train could depart from the station and Georgie was quietly reprimanded.

Georgie doesn’t let the world or the era she lives in dictate who she is. When she decided to become a lawyer, she put her all into it and even though it took many years and setbacks, she never gave up. She doesn’t mind that she’s hardly remembered by history. She knows what she achieved and so does her family.
