3. Post the lists on the fridge and tick items off as you go.
4. Use the journal page at the end of summer to remember the best day.

Learning Benefits

A bucket list gives summer a little structure without screens. Kids practise reading, planning and goal-setting, and ticking items off builds a sense of achievement. The journal page adds writing practice that helps fight the summer slide.

Age Range

Ages 4-12 and whole families. Pictures help pre-readers; older kids can fill in the blank list themselves.

Variations and Extension Ideas

• Pick one bucket list item each weekend.
• Give younger kids the picture checklist to color in.
• Take a photo for each finished item and make a summer scrapbook.
• Use the journal page as a back-to-school 'what I did this summer' story.

Printing Tips

• Print at 100% (Actual size) so the boxes and lines stay the right size for small handwriting.
• Slip a page into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker to reuse it all week.
• Print the answer key separately and keep it in a folder for quick checking.
• Print the bucket list on cardstock – it will live on the fridge all summer.
