We try to make a bucket list for each season with our kids. It’s a fun way to track what’s coming up, what we have to look forward to, and to make sure we don’t forget anything! This free printable summer bucket list for kids is a simple template you can display or keep in a special place. Have kids help you fill it out with ideas and mark them off as you accomplish them!
Below we’ve included this free printable template. Looking for more ideas? We’ve also included over 25 ideas you can put on your list! They don’t need to be anything big or fancy, it can be as simple as you want to make it.
What is a Bucket List?
In it’s simplest form, it’s a list of things you want to do before you ‘kick the bucket’. But, for our family and for most kiddos it’s a fun activity to make a list of activities and traditions. It can make simple things exciting and can give a sense of accomplishment when looking back over any given season!
