This is played like normal kickball/baseball, but the bases are kiddie pools and you have to slide to each base on a slip-in-slide. LOL!

You can make craft night and decide what you want to do this time! For example: Pinecone Crafts, Toilet Paper roll crafts,

8. Summer family night: Art projects

Kids are creative. They are just born this way. And there is no doubt that they are even more creative than we, adults, are. So, let's turn every family member imagination on and start creating something really unique!

10. Fondue night

Fondue is a lot of fun, but I must be clear: it’s not just a dinner–it’s an event.

11. Epic Building Competition

Kids love Legos, blocks and building. And it's all in one place! If your family isn’t so into Legos, you could try building something else, like a dollhouse or a scale model together.. Have a nice afternoon with the family!

12.  Make DIY Wheel Of Fortune from cardboard
