Go to the pool to go swimmingand cool off, or a more natural experience at a lake. If you’re near a beach, children love the sand. Water-parks are a safe place to go, as they usually have areas with sprinklers. If you are taking them somewhere to cool off in water, bring swim diapers, plans for food, (either money, or a picnic, which is fun), a change of clothes, and normal diapers. Never leave the child unattended near or in water.

If you have a deck of cards, then try making up a simple card game. For example, you could assign activities to each suit that everyone has to do when it’s drawn.
