Summer activities

Summer topics carry two jobs: they get you through the end-of-year lessons where nobody wants to work, and they are the natural vocabulary for a camp or a holiday club.

Beach, camping and sea animals are also the most drawable packs we have — which makes draw it the game of the season.

Games in this collection

Interactive Game

Seaside Bingo

A boardwalk bingo parlour at dusk: the wire cage tumbles its wooden balls, the drawn word rolls down to the rack, and you stamp your card till the sign lights up.

  • Ages 4–11

Interactive Game

Garden of Pairs

Every card is a seed packet in a walled garden. Turn one and it blooms; find its twin and the pair stays in flower, with a butterfly to prove it.

  • Ages 3–11

Interactive Game

Painter's Attic

A secret word arrives on a painter's palette and you draw it on a real easel canvas — brush sounds, paint-blob colours and a skylight for a timer.

  • Ages 5–11

Interactive Game

Deck of Wonders

A magician's deck in a curtained study: brass filigree backs, a true 3D flip, and a horn that says the word out loud. Keep what you know; the rest returns.

  • Ages 3–11

Interactive Game

Name 3

Tap the floating cube. It turns, a topic is engraved on the face it lands on, and you name three.

  • Ages 4–11

Interactive Game

Letter Forge

The letters come out of the fire scrambled. Strike them onto the anvil in order, and the word quenches in a hiss of steam.

  • Ages 5–11

Questions teachers ask

What do I teach in the last week of term?

Something new and easy rather than a review. Beach or sea animals give tired children fresh words with no pressure, and the lessons end on a win instead of a test.

Can I use this for a summer camp?

Yes, and the printables matter more there than the screen. Bingo sheets, flashcards and word searches survive a picnic table; a laptop does not.

How do I keep summer students from forgetting everything?

Send one practice link a week. Five minutes of listening and picture-matching on a phone is enough to keep a topic alive, and children will do it because it gives stars.
