Get Ready For Summer Game
Read the story and play the game. Clues are in blue!

Yes it's June and it is time for kids to take a wonderful break from school and homework.
It is also a time to appreciate your Father on Father's Day.  Remember Father's Day is always the third Sunday in June. This year it is June 21st. Fathers are very special and important to us throughout our lives. On Father's Day it is your opportunity to show him how much you appreciate all of his work and dedication to you and the family.

Now that you are out of school you will have a summer ahead of you to relax, have fun, learn many things, and maybe earn some money. Plan your time and get the most out of it.
     -Make a list of things to do for each category.
     -After each item list how you intend to accomplish it and a timeframe to do it in.

The summer will go by quickly so be careful to plan your time for each activity. This is a good exercise because many adults need to do this at work to plan tasks and meet schedules. Parents also make plans and schedules for their futures like saving for a house, going to college, or planning for retirement.

Some examples for you could be:
 Learn something new
    Read 3 books (one book per month)
    Complete an Arts and Craft project (July 10 to July 28)
    Complete a project around the house with Dad  (August 1 to August 20)
    Take your dog to obedience class (June 20 to July 10)
    Work on your spelling and math skills  (Every evening after dinner for 20 minutes)
    Write in a journal about your summer  (Every evening before bed for 10 minutes)
 
  Make Money
      Ask your parents if you can do a chore around the house to make an allowance.
      Ask if you can walk a neighbors dog, clean their yard, or other chores for some money.
      Collect bottles and cans to return for refunds.
 
   Have fun
       Learn a new sport, volleyball, swimming, skating
       Plan to go to the movies and select a favorite to see
       Plan to visit a museum
       Go to the park with friends
       Plan a camping trip in the back yard
       Go for a hike in a state park
 
Plan well and have a wonderful summer to remember for the rest of your life.
