Here's a simple printable that would look great pinned up in the kitchen or pasted into a notebook and filled up with ideas for the children (or family) to do during the summer months.
Making a list is a great way of encouraging reluctant writers, and making a list on a nice piece of paper appeals to lots of children. You could even suggest that the kids use this as a drawing frame instead of a writing frame, and colour in the camera, too.
What would I take with me ... if I were going to the Bahamas on holiday, or trekking in the jungle, or travelling to the moon (and back)! You can use this lovely printable frame in so many ways. Younger children can draw or cut and stick, older children can write.
This is such a useful printable for encouraging the children to think about and write down some plans for the long summer vacation. Stick it up on the fridge or kitchen wall and tick off the activities as you get them done!
