Today's free printable Summer Bucket List Template is the perfect way to kick off the summer season. There are two easy-to-use versions available below. Download yours and let the summer fun planning begin.

I always have SO many activities and ideas I want to do every summer...ones that will make wonderful memories for my family. But, you know what? If I don't write every single one of them down, I forget at least half of them (at least). So, I love having a nice summer bucket list template ready for my planning. And, hey, it's the fun kind of planning, too, y'all. This is strictly for all of your family's exciting activities they're dreaming about for the summer season. Download your favorite version of this summer bucket list template below.

Summer Bucket List Template

It's hard to believe, but summer is *almost* here. We have three weeks of school left and then yee and haw, y'all. Our family's summer will be a bit different this year as we now have a 16-year-old who hopes to get a job. But, it will still be one I want to fill up with lots of activities and togetherness (which they're all *mostly* on board for...even that 16-year-old!).

Template Options

I created these templates with two main options:

full color (with cute patterned flags in the header)
black and white (This version is a bit no-frills, but it's perfect to get the job done!)

Both of the color options are available in letter-sized PDF options.
Each of these templates has 48 lines (with check boxes) to fill in.

Printing and Using Your Summer Bucket List Template

There really isn't a lot of rhyme or reason for printing this design.
You can use regular, letter-sized paper, or (my personal favorite), white, letter-sized cardstock to make your bucket list a bit sturdier.
Since there are quite a number of blank lines on this template, feel free to divide it out and let each member of your household pick a few things on their own. This makes for a super fun, as well as super diverse, list of goodies.

Kids' Version:

Pictured above, I also have this free printable Summer Checklist for kids. It is more of a visual bucket list that kids can circle as they complete. There is a blank version, as well.
