PowerPoint Presentation

Life of a mother is comparatively so easy when kids are going to school, they can at least follow a routine. Send the kids off to school and get down to work. But when the sun is at its peak and schools are off for summer vacations, it completely changes the narrative. Work can wait because kids dont. Keeping kids entertained is one heck of a job, their summer activities often completely blows up the budget. To get kids to cool down during summer season I find myself spending too much on all activities.

This made me acknowledge the utmost necessity of having a firm plan for activities and budget for those activities. So I started acting smartly, I made a list of all the summer activities that traps and another list of all the cheaper alternative activities. Kids get their share of amusement and outdoor activities while I get to save money.

OVER VIEW

Summer Vacations Budget SavingsSpending less does not mean sacrificing summer fun. Rather you can priorities, spend on a vacations trip plan instead of wasting on daily activities. Plus you have to shop for kids before they go to school. So a lot of saving is needed in the summers. Hence make a priority list of activities in the plan.

1. Water ParksWater parks create a hoe in your pockets and slowly drains the money out. 1st you for the admittance fee they you will find yourself paying for other stuff such as food, tubes, lockers and souvenirs. As an occasional fun this wont stir your budget but if it becomes a summer activity it will drain your budget. Although I own a local pass for the park which cover the admittance fee but its the extra activities that costs.

Movies is one place where your kids are so occupies and you have nothing to worry about, there is air conditioning, quiet time and entertainment. There is everything to love about summer movies except the cost. There is ticket cost then popcorns and drinks. The cunning production companies know when to release kids movies, all the blockbusters are scheduled in summer and there is just no quieting the kids about it.

What to do about this? Most local movie theaters offer kids program for summer where they offer to show already released movies for cheaper price. As for popcorn, if you buy separate regulars they will cost you more, purchase a large and share it.2. Movies

3. BowlingOne of the easiest and active way of killing time of an afternoon is through bowling with your bored kids. But then there is lane rent and shoe rent for each kid. All of this accumulates to be quite costly

Cant afford a pricey afternoon every day. Here is what you can do, In US there are numerous bowling alleys across the country that offer free bowling for the children. You can check all the bowling alley that offer free bowling for kids at KidsBowlFree.com, enter your zip code and all the nearest places will pop up. You will have to pay a little since they compensate but it is manageable comparatively.

4. Summer CampYou remember the fun and adventure of being at a summer camp, who wouldnt want their kids to have that in their childhood but there is just one problem, they are too expensive. There is the camp registration cost, then the cost of activities and purchasing the gear. A more affordable option can be day camps but the registration fee and fee for special occasions can be a pile.

So how to save money and have a summer camp? Check out the caps through your community center they are usually low cost. If you are not anti-religion, then many religious institutes offer free or low cost camps too. Or even better host a summer camp at your place. Have all the mothers who are looking for low cost camps convinced to send their kids and pick a theme for each week, with crafts and snacks.

5. PlaygroundsTake your kids to town play grounds that have a creative and fun playground structure. That are usually cost free and can occupy your kids evening pretty well. If one park get boring take them to another towns park with different outdoor playground equipment.

Summer days are not as cheap as winter where you hardly step out of your house, summer is full of joy and expeditions for children you have think more about hoe to occupy your kids that too within budget. Rather than going to expensive places being creative can give your kids a memorable summer vacation and lets you save your money.
