🌴 Gearing Up For Summer Break in Summerville

Welcome back, Palmetto Parents!

We hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and are feeling the relief of a four-day work week. For those of you with kids ending the school year soon, we know summer can be both exciting and chaotic. We’ll do our best to make your summer great by continuing to provide ideas to keep your kids busy and families connected.

Don’t forget that kids bowl free this summer at Stars and Strikes. We wrote about the details here.

To Do: $1 Family Movies at Regal Theaters

For those looking to keep kids busy during the weekdays of summer, Regal Theaters will offer $1 movie tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11 AM from June 11th-August 7th for selected movies. The line up includes movies like Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Spider Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. They also have $5 snack deals for kids.

Check out this link for more information and to see the dates that each movie is available. I know I plan to take my son to his first movie for one of the Paw Patrol showings. It’s a perfect, low risk time to try out the theater with your kids and to see new movies or old favorites for cheap.

Fun Audio Experiences for the Whole Family

Limiting screen-time is often at odds with your kids enjoying their favorite films and series. But not with Popcorn Brainstorm! Jokes & Trivia for Kids, the chart-topping Kids & Family podcast from Netflix. Featuring trivia, games and jokes about Netflix films and series, Popcorn Brainstorm is an audio experience that keeps everyone in the family connected, entertained and having fun.

Listen to episodes about Leo, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, The Dragon Prince and many more!

We just drove to and from Asheville with a 2-year-old and a newborn, and thank Jesus for a DVD player in our minivan.

We are incredibly intentional about not overdosing our children with screen time, but sometimes there is no use pushing against logic, and a roadtrip is one of those times.

You can imagine our disbelief when Netflix came across the desk to advertise with Palmetto Parents. (I was shocked to say the least). But beyond that, they launched this totally amazing game that is great for kids and families, and it’s such a good middle ground to engage with your family without everyone sitting glued to a screen.
