1. Backyard BBQ

Nothing screams summer like a little Backyard BBQ fun! If you want to focus more on fun activities for the kids, make it a potluck and ask everyone to bring a little something. Think hot dogs, fruit, veggies, chips, cookies, etc. Easy peasy! Another fun addition would be to serve different food that might be available in sand pails! That way, you aren’t going to be slaving away in the kitchen and an easy meal and snacks will be ready to go for everyone in no time!

4. Welcome To Summer Banner

Have all of the little ones who may be home to help color or paint in the words for a “welcome to summer” banner while the older kids are off at school.

It’s the school kids’ own little finish line to the end of another successful school year!

5. Bubble Station

What could be more fun at the end of the school year than getting crazy in the backyard or a park with some bubbles! What a great thing to add to any End of School Year Party.

6. Photo Booth Fun
