Ice and Water Play to Beat the Heat
It's that time of year. Students are wrapping up the school year. It's getting hotter outside, and everyone is ready for some fun in the sun! As much as we love to play outside, summertime can get too hot sometimes. How do we beat the heat? With ice and water play, of course. Here are over 100 ways to have fun in the sun with ice and water. I've included several ice and water ideas for indoors as well, because let's face it, there are some days in summer that are just too hot to venture outside.
