It’s hard to believe the school year is already over for many. Some kids go to summer school, but many don’t. We always make time to go to the cellar. Maybe whatever we find will give you a good idea for how to spend the summer, so you don’t get bored. I’ll pick from the Famous Phrases box.
“Get your feet wet.” What a great idea! That means to try something new. Summer is a splendid time for that. A similar phrase is to “dip your toe in the water.” Since it’s hot during the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, many people go to the beach or play in a swimming pool. Both offer opportunities to get your feet wet.
What those Famous Phrases really encourage you to do is explore an idea that is new. It could be a sport or a subject of interest or anything you’d like to try. Did you learn a topic in school you wish you could have spent more time on? Did you hear about a fun adventure you’d like to try? Getting your feet wet warns you to be cautious to start out, instead of jumping in. Just like with a swimming pool, you don’t want to get in over your head, unless you know how to swim very well.
Fun things to do
This is a great video about a six-year-old who swims in the ocean with the animals. Also, the video shows an older woman who’s a scientist. There are tons of jobs you can do if you love the ocean.
