What is in the printable summer activity pack?
The summer activity pack is an activity book you print in one go. It has a cover to color with a checklist and 12 sheets: three mazes, two word searches, sudoku, a crossword, a mandala, pixel art, number tracing, tic-tac-toe and dots and boxes. One extra sheet gathers the answers. Every tap builds a different book.
What it is for
The pack puts the activities children ask for most during school breaks into a single print job. You do not open page after page: pick a level, print and hand over a finished book.
The sheets are numbered and the cover has a checklist. Children tick what they have done and choose what comes next. It works for rainy days, for a stay at grandma's and for school vacation homework.
What is in the pack
- Mazes: three sheets, from the easiest to the hardest.
- Word search: two sheets with different themes.
- Sudoku: one sheet with two grids.
- Crossword puzzles: one sheet with short clues.
- Mandala coloring pages: one full-page mandala.
- Pixel art coloring: a hidden picture to color by number.
- Number tracing: one sheet to trace the dotted digits.
- Tic-tac-toe: twelve grids and a scoreboard for two players.
- Dots and boxes: a grid of dots for two players.
- A cover to color, with room for a name and a checklist of the activities.
- An answer sheet (optional) with the solutions in miniature.
How to print it or save it as a PDF
- Pick a level: easy or medium. The level changes the size of the mazes, the sudoku, the word puzzles and the mandala.
- Choose whether you want the cover. Without it, the book starts at the first activity.
- Tap Make another pack until you like the sheets. The preview shows the whole book.
- Tick the answer option if you want the answer sheet at the end.
- Tap Print the sheet. In the print window, keep the scale at 100% (or choose Fit to page on Letter paper).
- To keep the activity pack as a PDF, change the printer to Save as PDF in the same window.
Tips for putting the book together
- Print on both sides to use half the paper. The two-player sheets come last, so they are easy to pull out.
- Staple the left edge or use a paper clip. A strip of tape over the staples protects small fingers.
- Keep the answer sheet out of the book and leave it with a grown-up.
- Colored pencils and crayons work better than markers, which bleed through plain paper.
- Agree on one or two sheets a day. The book lasts the whole break and does not feel like a chore.
- All done? Make another pack: the sheets change and the checklist follows.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save the activity pack as a PDF?
Tap Print the sheet and, in the print window, choose Save as PDF instead of a printer. The file comes out with every sheet of the pack, in the order of the checklist.
How many sheets does the summer pack have?
There are 12 activity sheets. With the cover that makes 13, and the answer sheet is one more if you tick that option.
Do the activities repeat?
Each pack is built from a randomly picked number, printed at the bottom of the cover. When you tap Make another pack, the mazes, the sudoku, the words and the pictures change.
Which level should I choose?
Easy has wide mazes, a simple mandala and words that run only across and down. Medium brings larger grids and a hard maze at the end. When in doubt, start with easy.
Can I use it as vacation homework at school?
Yes. The sheets are free to print and use at home or at school, and each student can get a different book.
