Staycation @ the Beach
Rather than traveling afar for vacation, many people are staying home and simply hitting the beach! Here are some simple and fun beach activities:
 Capture the Sun Next time you're at the beach at sunset, try taking a photo like this! It takes a bit of work to line it all up but it's pretty cool. Be sure you don't look directly into the sun too long or you might damage your eyes!
Beach Relay for a Gang
You will need one of each of the following items for each team: A small rubber ball, flippers, scuba mask, large pair of men's swim trunks. Place the piles of beach were at the end ofthe relay course. Teams of players line up at the beginning of the relay course. A member from each team places the ball between their knees and runs to the pile of beach wear. The players then put on and take off the beach wear and then run back to the starting line with the ball between their legs. The next player then takes his turn, etc. |

Water Fun is Super Cool
 Paint with Water
(2-5 years) Cool off your hot grumpy little ones with this harmless water activity. Supply your child with a clean paint brush and bucket of water. Let them paint the house, walkway, bikes, fence, each other, etc. Don't forget the sunscreen!
Dribble, Dribble, Drench!
(5-10 years) This game is just like "Duck ,Duck, Goose ", except that as "IT" walks around the circle with a cup or pitcher of water. When they say dribble to each player they dribble a few drops of water on their head. BUT...you know this is coming don't you? When they say "Drench" that player gets the rest of the water on their head or back. Then the wet player chases "IT" and tries to tag her before she gets to the wet players place. Got that?...this is really fun with kids age five or older on a very hot summer day. Younger children can play if they are not sensitive about being drenched.

Water Relay
You'll need:
Buckets of water 1 per team
Large sponges 1per team
Empty 1 gallon plastic milk jug 1 per team
Split players into two or more teams.
Set the buckets of water on one side of the race course with the sponges in the bucket. Place the milk jug at the opposite end of the race course. The object of the game is to be the first team to fill the milk jug with water.
The first player of each team soaks the sponge with water runs to the milk jug and squeezes the water into it. Then runs back to pass the sponge to the next player. This continues until the first jug is full. To provide more of a challenge, try using turkey baster syringe's instead of sponges;you have to aim while you are also trying to win!
TIP: A little food coloring in the jug will help the racers see the water line.
