What time is it? Summer time! There are so many exciting things to do this summer, and it’s time to start making your summer bucket list. There are two months of school and over sixty days of vacation, so it’s our job to help you make it worth while!
Here are 10 ideas from The Warrior Word on some fun things to do this summer in Georgia.
1. Go to the pool
Of course, going to the pool is the most basic summer activity, but it wouldn’t be summer without pool days! Our biggest suggestion for a fun summer day is going swimming to enjoy the weather while cooling off. Even sitting by the pool is a great way to relax and tan. The pool is always the place to be, but don’t forget sunscreen!
2. Do a craft
With so much time on your hands, being crafty is the way to go. From painting to scrapbooking, there are so many ways to be creative! Definitely hit the local craft store, or even repurpose things around the house to create something new.
Here are some fun craft ideas:
- Make a bikini box
- Scrapbook your summer
- Paint a canvas
- Make jewelry
- Sew a patchwork shirt
3. Try a new recipe
It’s always nice to have a refreshing in the summer, and trying new recipes can be super fun! Whether it’s something quick and easy or a full course meal, the kitchen awaits and the world is your oyster.
Here are some fun recipe ideas:
- Decorating cookies
- Making sourdough bread
- Freezing popsicles
- Pasta salad

4. Visit a park
The weather in the summer is always so nice, and it’s the perfect opportunity to take a walk outside and explore new places you’ve never been before. Visiting local parks can be so much fun and nature is full of beauty that can go unnoticed!
5. Have a picnic
Along with exploring new parks, having a picnic is another way to spend time outside! Gathering with friends and having a picnic at a park, or anywhere, can be a super fun summer activity. Everyone can try a new recipe to share as well!
6. Enjoy live music
Live music can be such a great experience, and listening to music outside while the sun is setting is even better. There are so many fun concerts to attend all summer, especially locally. Small artists play at restaurants all the time. There are always ways to enjoy some good tunes, so it’s definitely something worth putting on your bucket list.
7. Play pickleball
Another fun (and competitive) outdoor activity is pickleball. Similar to tennis, one or two players will stand on each side of the net and take turns serving the ball, trying to prevent it from bouncing on the ground more than once before hitting in back. The first team to get to 11 points wins. Even if playing by all of the rules isn’t your cup of tea, it’s a super fun game to try out!
8. Have a movie marathon
Movie marathons are a great way to relax and spend time with friends! Everyone can come together and share their favorite movies and snacks. An outdoor movie night can also be a great way to enjoy the weather!
Here are some summer movie recommendations:
- Teen Beach Movie
- Aquamarine
- Mamma Mia
- 50 First Dates
- High School Musical 2
9. Read new books
There are so many great books to read for fun of so many different genres, and summer will grant you all the time you need to finish a good book. From romance to thrillers, the stories are never ending.
Here are some summer book recommendations:
- Beach Read
- The Unhoneymooners
- Just for the Summer
- The Summer of Broken Rules
- The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy
10. Go thrifting/shopping
Shopping is always a fun activity, especially with friends. Whether you have money to spend or not, trying new styles and looking around in new stores is a great way to spend your summer days. Thrifting is a fun way to try new things, especially on a budget!
The Warrior Word wishes you a wonderful summer! We hope these tips help you complete the summer of your dreams.
