Some of the kids are out of school for the summer. Just remember, kids are used to having a structured day, so if you can, try to add some reading time, maybe some workbook pages, time to play games. Some kids just are lost if they have to come up with things to do on their own. Don't forget the libraries will be having great reading programs with all kinds of fun programs, prizes and reading ideas to help you.
