The Learning Masquerade

Summer of ABCs - “X Day”
This day takes a little bit of prep work if you choose to do a scavenger hunt and/or treasure map like I did, but aside from the $3 treasure box I bought at the local craft store (filled with treasures we had around the house) it was a cheap day full of fun! We also enjoyed CheX miX while working on our handwriting! *Other ideas: make an x-ray out of q-tips or xylophone out of craft sticks, make a boX fort or trail miX. Also feel free to X-peremint with words that start with ex. Part of the X-citement (see what I did there?) of these days is seeing what you can come up with!

Summer of ABCs - “W Day”
Water balloons, water balloon baseball, sprinklers and watermelon! *Other ideas: watercolor painting, walk around the neighborhood/through the woods, wind catcher/chime craft, white water rafting, make waffles.

Summer of ABCs - “V Day”
We swapped veggie soup for vanilla pudding but of course video games was the highlight! *Other ideas: volleyball, virtual reality, volcano experiment, volunteer, make veggie chips or vanilla ice cream, go on a voyage, or vacation (we did our vacations throughout the summer but saved ABC days for when we didn’t have things planned to spread out the fun).

Summer of ABCs - “S Day”
Today is a prime example of taking advantage of what is in your neighborhood. The snow cone truck is literally parked in front of the splash park....winning! *Other ideas: swimming, skating, sandcastles, scavenger hunt, sports, swinging, sliding, make sundaes, shakes, sushi or s’mores.

Summer of ABCs - “R Day”
This day was intentionally planned for when I needed a break, but turns out we needed it the first day of summer, as Gav was under the weather. While not very exciting, it served its purpose! *Other ideas: roller skating, rock climbing, races, random acts of kindness, build robots or rockets, make rice crispy treats or rainbow fruit kabobs.

Summer of ABCs - “Q Day”
Dessert quesadillas weren’t as popular as I thought, although I thought they were delicious! We made a quill for use on his handwriting practice and the quizzes for kindergarten! As a reward for all the hard work we also visited a quarter machine! *Other ideas: make a paper quilt, visit a quarter arcade, go on a quest, have a queen for the day, quiet day.
