Independence Day Summer Learning: Try These 4 Fun & Educational Ideas With Your Kids During the July 4th Weekend Holidays Activities

The 4th of July typically means parades, cookouts and plenty of time with family. But this Independence Day is a different, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. This year, July 4th can be a wonderful time for some fun opportunities for summer learning with your kids. Here are a few of my favorite activities for the holiday weekend:

1. Explore the “how” of fireworks and sparklers – and fire safety! Encourage your kids to research and teach an Independence Day history lesson.

2. Discuss water safety before hitting the beach or pool.

3. Make well-balanced, healthy dishes for a family cookout.

4. Identify different band instruments and patriotic songs and create your own 4th of July parade.
