The goal of this instructional activity is to have learners come up with a collection of fun and exciting activities they could all try over the summer vacation. Each child is charged with creating his/her own page of a class summer fun book. The page must have a drawing of the activity, and a written description of what it is. This class book will be sure to get lots of attention during SSR time.
