If you're not opposed to using screens, why not be more intentionally about them then? You can find a lot of summer activities for teens with lots of things for teens to do via an app or downloaded software. A quick google search will get you to find some really great things for kids to do and learn educationally even though it is summertime. Sara, with Techie Homeschool Mom, found that her kids discovered new tech skills and talents via screen usage and is sharing all about it in her Techin' Your Summer Challenge:

Do you struggle with screen time with your kids?  Here’s a radical idea: instead of figuring out how to keep kids off the computer, why don’t we intentionally put them on electronics?  They love screens; we want them to be productive and creative with screen time.  So why not have a win-win situation?  Join me for the Techin’ Your Summer challenge and help our kids discover some new tech skills and talents this summer.

Simple Scripture Memory Work System to Use During the Summertime

use the simple scripture memory work system

Even though your homeschool may lighten – or completely stop – for summertime, don't let your Scripture studying or Bible Time fall at the wayside. It's important, and our primary duty as parents, to teach and instill the Word of God in our kids' hearts. It doesn't have to be a long period of time devotion, either; it can be just a few intentional minutes every day. Here's how Lindsay with A Heart For All Students can help you with your Bible Time and Scripture studying during the summertime:

Summer allows us to capture small pockets of time for intentional family connect. One way to do this is through Scripture memorization. You can easily memorize Scripture with your kids this summer and enjoy every minute of it. Use my simple Scripture memory work system to connect as a family while memorizing Scripture. Seriously, in as little as five minutes a day, you and your kids can memorize huge chunks of Scripture for the long term!
