Kids at the Beach

Wiffle Ball

We all know kids get bored very easily. Vacation is no different! No matter how much fun you may be having…you’re little ones may be rolling their eyes. That’s why we wanted to provide a list of things they (any age really) can do when you are vacationing at the beach. Most of these are things you already know, but there is nothing like a refresher just to remind you. Print out this list and take it with you if you want. It’s hard to remember everything and you never know what the youngsters may be in the mood to do.

Monopoly A quick tip:
If you bring a ton of things for your kids to do on vacation, yet they still get bored by the 2nd day, here is something to think about. For all of the items listed above, only allow them to do one non-beach per day and two at the beach per day. For instance:

Day 1 of your vacation...bring paddle ball and the skim board to the beach and tell them they can go to the arcade at night.

Day 2 of your vacation…bring a kite and wiffle ball to the beach and tell them they can go miniature golfing at night.

Day 3 of your vacation…bring the boogie board and Frisbee to the beach and tell them they can play board games at night.

And so on and so forth...

You can mix and match anything you would like but the point is that kids get bored easy, if you let them do everything on Day 1, they will go through all of it that 1st day and have nothing to look forward to for the rest of the week. They may even get excited and look forward to being able to build sand castles on Day 5. Lay it out for them! Of course, if they find a liking to one thing…might as well let them do it.
