Keep Cool Tips

Hi readers,

Are you enjoying the summer? I am! It’s the perfect time of year to play outside.

But sometimes the summer sun can be a little too warm, so it’s important to drink lots of water and protect yourself from the heat. Here are some fun tips to help you keep cool.

1. Lay a long piece of string over an ice cube tray, fill it with water, and put in the freezer. When it’s frozen, the ice cubes will be stuck to the string. Tie the string in a big loop and wear it like a necklace!
2. Get a t-shirt wet and put it in the freezer. A few hours later, the shirt will be frozen stiff. Take it with you outside and see how quickly you can put it on!
3. Fill a bucket with water and add some sponges. Gather a few friends, and toss the sopping sponges at each other for a cool game of tag.

What’s your favourite way to cool off, reader? Let us know in the comments!

See you later,
