Summer Morning Routine for Kids
The question always comes up sooner or later, usually sooner rather than later. What question? What can we do? I’m bored. You know that question, right? I have a house with 8 and 9-year-olds who like to have a list of things that need to be done before they can invade each other’s Minecraft world.
In addition to their Summer weekly chores of helping clean the house, I’ve come up with a daily list what needs to be accomplished before anyone can go outside, go to the library, or turn on electronics. Here’s the run-down.
These don’t have to be done in any particular order, but the kids know that we’re not going anywhere or turning on any tablets before the list is completed each morning.
- Make your bed
- Pick up items off the floor in your room and put them in their rightful place.
- Brush your teeth
- Brush your hair
- Read a book for at least 30 minutes
- Eat breakfast
- Get dressed *if not deemed a PJ day – those are fun to have on random days throughout the Summer break
- Write in your composition book after getting your writing prompt for the day. *Usually 3-5 sentences

Need some writing prompts for kids?
I have a list that grows almost every day. I’ve been trying to think of fun, exciting prompts that get their wheels turning. Sometimes they get so excited that they write a whole page! I know Summer is a relaxing time for everyone but I think that the writing prompts allow the kids to stretch their imagination in a fun way and breeds more creativity.

In addition to the library, outside play, and swimming in the pool this Summer, we’re heading to the beach and have playdates scheduled with friends. I’m looking forward to every day of the Summer and watching the kids just be kids and letting them learn along the way.
