Summertime is here!!

For many kids, summertime is here (or just around the corner)! We decided instead of our usual monthly prompts, we’d spice life up a bit. (Looking for June Journal Prompts? Find them here!)

One of the things we’ve done with our kids in the past (and have actually started again this summer) is a summertime journal – something just to keep the brain juices flowing. It doesn’t have to be anything formal – in fact, many times it’s just asking questions at night to remember how much fun the day was (even if it wasn’t…)

You can journal for the little ones, or have them draw pictures (or both!). Older kids may enjoy keeping a summertime journal.

Heck, we’re even loving these prompts for OUR team…

So, however you decide to use them…

Happy summer, and happy journaling!
