Educational Summer Fun

I know, school is over for the year which means no more learning, right? Well as a former teacher, I can tell you that I noticed a big difference in kids that were still actively learning over the summer. A teacher's wish is for students to practice the skills they learned from the year before (not to necessarily learn new information, just maintain information). We give assessments at the beginning of the year to see what students lost over the summer and you would be surprised at the results. 
It's summer, and I know the last thing your kids (and you) want to think about is doing school work. But there are so many fun opportunities to integrate educational experiences into summer. I am not talking about sitting down to complete math facts worksheets (that would bore me, too!) I know I sound crazy suggesting that you do school work over the summer, but trust me, your kids won't mind these type of activities! 
These games can be played with a parent, siblings, friends, etc. Modify them to meet the number of people playing. 
Personal Creations is rounding up bloggers to help encourage parents to integrate education into their summer fun. They have started a project called, School All Summer. The concept is simple: get parents to engage their children in educational activities while they are off during the summer. It's such a wonderful idea and is so important. I am glad to be helping parents find ways to make learning fun so that children do not regress while playing away in the summer sun.
