These weekly themes are designed to give you ideas to keep your host kids occupied and engaged all summer long. They will also be learning. (But shhhh, don\u2019t tell them that part.) Check back each Friday, for the next week\u2019s theme. This gives you a chance to make plans and gather materials for the next week. For each theme there will be crafts, games, snacks and activities. You can just use these ideas or add your own and customize the themes to fit the ages and interests of your host children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the themes you can look forward to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Under the Sea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outer Space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nature Exploration <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dinosaurs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cars and Trucks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bugs &amp; Butterflies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Science (STEM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backyard Safari<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art Experiences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore the World<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pirate Adventures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/aupairinamerica\/summer-fun\/\">Summer Fun<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/aupairinamerica\/summer-holidays\/\"><strong>Summer Holidays<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;pin boards for even more ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get some great pictures doing these activities with your host kids, please send those to your community counselor.
