I do more "lessons" during the summer, because I have mostly school age right now. And they need to be kept busy. We do still have lots of free play, but often it leads to fighting if it goes to long. When that happens it is time for "quiet" time. In that case they get quiet activities such as reading, writing in journals, a quiet one person game, and I am working on file folder games also. This summer I am going to do one hour of quiet time per day, because my kiddos need to learn how to quietly entertain themselves.
