5 Fun things to do in Summer to help you prepare for the next school year.

5 Fun things to do in Summer to help you prepare for the next school year.


1. Read
                             

 Read anything, books, magazines, novels, blogs among other things.  Reading will keep your brain active during the summer break . It would also be a good idea to read your literature books before school actually starts. That way, you will be ahead of the class and you will have a clearer understanding of the concepts when you re-read in class.


2. Relax

The point of the break from school is to allow you to recharge and renew your energy in preparation for the new school year. Relax and allow your body to rejuvenate. Sleep in for an extra hour or 3 :-) , stay in your pajamas all day or just go to beach all day. There are several relaxing activities that can be done at home all by yourself. If you would like some ideas let me know in the comments below.

3. Enter competitions

Summer has a lot of competitions aimed at keeping young people active and out of trouble. They benefit you as an individual in many ways. Outside of the fact that you can win prizes, the competition keeps your brain active and allows you to meet new people in your age group with similar interests. If you would like a list of competitions you can enter in the summer let me know in the comments below.

4. Go out with friends....
This may not seem beneficial in preparing you for the next school year but believe it or not ...it is. Yasss!!! Hanging out is good for you and prepares you for school. Tell your parents. According to mayoclinic.org hanging out with friends has the following benefits: -

  • Increase your sense of belonging and purpose
  • Boost your happiness and reduce your stress
  • Improve your self-confidence and self-worth
  • Help you cope with problems you may be experiencing 
  • Encourage you to change or avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits

These all influence the mindset that you return to school with. Yes, we know you will be busy when you get back to school, so use this summer break wisely. Go hang out!

5. Get your sleeping schedule back on track...
You can start doing this at least one week before school reopens. Start going to bed earlier and waking up the time you would normally wake up for school . You would be training your body to wake up at a specific time. Soon enough, you will not even need an alarm clock.


**BONUS**
Download games like:

*Sudoku
*Brain it On!
*Logic Master 1
*Brain Training Games
*Brain skills
These will boost your memory and your confidence in Math.
