Welcome to Summer 2021! This Summer Fun Playlist is a bucket list for the summer months of July and August. The aim behind creating this list of 26 activities, is to direct a more productive playtime, and encourage bonding between siblings, and with parents/guardians.
 
Printables have been provided for 12 of the activities included in the playlist. The idea is to create memories of good times in spite of a global struggle. Take pictures to document the activities and fun, print and cut them out, and stick them on the portrait pages.

Why get the Summer Fun Playlist?
 
Because of the pandemic, going outdoors is not entirely a safe or legal endeavour. Hopefully this playlist can help eliminate boredom at home, and expose the youth to activities that teach them something new, reinforce Rastafari culture, and bring out their resourcefulness, creativity and innovation.
Making a commitment to completing the playlist is an ideal goal for children to aspire to, reinforcing the importance of being responsible and accountable for a job well done. These activities can serve as rewards for any summer lessons that need to be done as well.
