Summer Fun – Free Activities For Kids, Families And Adults

Jun 2, 2017 | Children & Education

As the long, hazy days of summer stretch ahead, it can prove challenging to find fun summer activities for your kids and yourself that keep everyone happy and occupied without breaking the bank.

SageVest Wealth Management’s extensive list of free activities offers interesting ideas everyone can enjoy, whatever your age. Enjoying free activities with your kids, partner, friends, or other family members is a great way to spend quality time together. Free activities not only save you money, but also demonstrate that fun doesn’t always have to come with a dollar sign attached. 

Free Activities For Kids

Naturally, there are plenty of outside activities for kids during summer, like running under the sprinkler, playing tag, or constructing a homemade slip ‘n’ slide. Even if the weather’s temperamental, your kids can still have fun indoors, with activities like blanket forts, dance parties, and more.

Free Activities For All Ages

Younger children often enjoy simple activities, like building a blanket fort, flying a kite, or feeding the ducks. Older kids might enjoy making a movie, hosting a tea party, or creating their own comic books. For the whole family, check local listings for free movie nights, concerts, or educational events sponsored by community organizations. Even some retailers like Michael’s and Home Depot offer free or low-cost skills workshops. Libraries and museums are great resources for free activities too.
