Tips for Family Weekend Fun

Friday, August 20, 2010

 

Summer is the best of times for families... now every week, enjoy inside tips for making the most of your weekend from Anisa Raoof, publisher and founder of Kidoinfo, the parents guide for Rhode Island and beyond.

Kido Tip 1. Record summer memories by journaling.

Encourage kids to write in a journal a few minutes at the beginning or end of very day about their favorite part of the day or a funny/happy/sad situation. If kids are reluctant to write or are new to journaling; have them draw a picture, paste a photo or list one thing they liked about their day. Follow up by asking them questions about the picture or the event, they may have more to share!

Kido Tip 2. Free School Supplies for Rhode Island Kids

The Providence School Department, Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, Sodexho School Services and over 30 community partners will sponsor this year’s Back to School Celebration. Kick off the new school year with celebrations this Saturday, August 21 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at 11 community sites. Over 12,000 kids will receive free backpacks filled with school supplies. Music, raffles and food also will be provided at each location.

Kido Tip 3. Explore Rhode Island’s Bike Paths using the Rhody Bike Path Passport!

The Rhody Bike Path Passport was designed by a group from Leadership Rhode Island to help you plan trips to explore the different paths in Rhode Island. Kids and adults can download their passport from the Rhody Passport web site. Collect a unique stamp from businesses and organizations near featured bike paths in Rhode Island.
