5 Summer Activities That'll Make You Feel Right Back at Home

6/16/2024

Summer is here and there are a few special activities that always seem to bring me back to the U.S. (at least in spirit) no matter where I am in the world—a few little slices of Americana, if you will. I’m sure you have your own summer must-dos, but here are a few of my favorites that I know your kids will love too! Hopefully they make you feel right back at home. 

Sign Up for a Summer Reading Program
As a FS mom myself, I’m always looking for ways to keep our kids connected to U.S. culture and a summer reading program is the perfect way to give our kids an American experience—while they even learn a little more about American history. I’m kicking off my own Summer Reading Program this month, and if your kid completes it, they can win a free book!

Make Some Patriotic Crafts
Get ready for Independence Day with a few patriotic crafts! From paper-plate star wreaths to red, white, and blue slime, a quick search will lead you to hundreds of ideas that’ll keep your kids entertained over the summer! Here's a few ideas to get you started. 


Check Out an Outdoor Concert
Most cities in the U.S. host outdoor summer concert series, and if your post has something similar, you should definitely check it out! If your new town doesn’t have anything, find a nearby park or outdoor space, bring a speaker, and rock out on your own.


Create Your Own Salt Water Taffy
Depending on what part of the U.S. you’re from, you may equate summer to a trip to the boardwalk and a pile of salt water taffy! It’s actually not that difficult to make! Check out this recipe.
