Printable summer vacation journal

Summer vacation is for relaxing, having fun, and making memories. That doesn’t mean you can’t sneak in a little writing practice at the same time. This printable summer vacation journal is a cute way for kids to explore writing and keep track of special summer experiences.

There’s some statistic that says kids lose a big chunk of what they’ve learned over summer vacation. I don’t know whether that’s really true, but I do think that it doesn’t hurt to practice a few things over the summer, like writing.

I made this summer vacation journal with that in mind. It has space for writing on every page, plus most of the pages also have room to paste a photo or draw an illustration.

Good for:

• handwriting
• drawing
• storytelling
• memories

Summer vacation journal

This printable summer vacation journal includes eight pages of writing prompts, plus a cover page. Elementary kids {and maybe older ones too} will enjoy writing about what they did each day. Print extra pages and use it all summer long or just write about a special vacation trip.

Some of the writing prompts encourage creative writing – like planning a dream vacation.

I scaled this to fit on regular 8-1/2″x11″ paper. You can print extra copies of specific pages by adjusting the page range on your printer.

Whether you’re taking a big trip or spending the lazy days of summer at home, I think this is a fun way to keep the kids busy and document the fun. I’m also hoping that it will spark some creativity on days when my kids inevitably tell me that they are bored.
