Immerse yourself in the vacation season. At least in August.

1. Picnic

A picnic is any meal in nature, so use your options. Head to the nearest park with a blanket and sandwiches and spend a few hours stretching out there on the lawn. Or throw a brazier, marinated meat, vegetables into the car and go to barbecue.

Just keep in mind that in some regions it may be forbidden to burn fires due to the high risk of fire. You can find out on the website of the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations.

2. Hike

If a picnic seems like a light version of summer fun, try the hardcore option: go camping. It is better to do without half-measures: get by train to the starting point and move along a pre-selected route with backpacks to the resting place. But if you are an inexperienced hiker, you can also get to the clearing suitable for a tent by car.

Find out the level of fire hazard in the region in advance. In some periods, it is better not to meddle in the forest, even if you are very careful.

3. Marathon

This, of course, is not about running: it is simply not possible to prepare for a 42 km distance from scratch in a month. Have a personal marathon of accomplishments and try to do something every day.

Moreover, it is better to choose something pleasant and enjoyable. So, giving up sugar for the whole of August will be useful, but unlikely to cheer you up. But the promise to walk at least 3 km every day will give you many pleasant summer walks.

4. Beach party

This is a very summertime activity that is hard to reschedule, so plan your beach party immediately. All you need is a large company, a place with sand under your feet, cold drinks, cardboard cups and a source of music.

If you want a little more civilization, look for a friend with a private home. Throw a party in his backyard, and just pour the sand into the inflatable children's pool. After all, the main thing is the atmosphere.

5. Festival of berries and fruits

In August, the counters are bursting with the gifts of nature. Grapes of different varieties, melons and watermelons, apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums - if you list everything, you get an impressive list.

17. Summer shopping

Buy yourself one, perhaps useless, but very summer thing. A huge-brimmed hat, odd-rimmed sunglasses or crazy sneakers will remind you that summer is all about fun.

18. Sightseeing tour of the city

In more or less large cities, tourists are offered a sightseeing tour of the city by bus. In some places, you can ride with informational purposes on river transport. Local people can also join the excursion group.

Take a look at your city through the eyes of its guests and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of vacation for at least an hour.

19. Walking barefoot on the grass

Taking off tight city shoes is already a holiday, and walking with tired feet on the lush green grass is a double holiday. But it is better to avoid the lawns that dog owners have chosen.

20. Outdoor cinema

If there are no open cinemas in your city, download a movie to your laptop and go to the park or to the rooftop with a blanket and snacks. Well, if there are such film screenings, the task is completely simplified.

Please note that open cinemas are organized not only by advanced citizens, but also by district administrations. True, the repertoire in this case will be appropriate. But the classic Soviet comedy is not the worst option for a summer evening.

21. Cocktail party

You may have imagined alcoholic cocktails at a party, but this is a year-round topic. For a summer party, pick a friend with a sunny kitchen and gather with him during the day to make milkshakes, fruit shakes, vegetable shakes with a bunch of ice.

Experiment with the gifts of nature, and if the party drags on until dark, just sprinkle something stronger in the celery smoothie. However, it is not necessary to wait for darkness.

22. Meeting the Dawn

Meeting dawn could be part of a night walk, but it is better to make it a separate event. Getting up early is not a pleasure for everyone, but for the sake of contemplating the first rays of the sun, it is worth rearranging the alarm clock.

If summer is a small life, then dawn is a symbol of its inception. Well, there will be a reason to praise yourself for your heroism.

23. Hotel Game

For a while, remove from prominent places in the apartment everything that indicates life and routine. Transform your home into an apartment with matching bedspreads and towels, eat from your best dish and don't forget to arrange flowers in vases everywhere.

Yes, then you have to get household items back from the mezzanine. But changing the picture will help you relax.

24. Outdoor games

Any outdoor game will bring back the feeling of summer, but the leaders in this matter are frisbee and badminton. Those who are alien to physical activity can go to the rides.

25. Plans for the fall

Over the long 10 school years, most of us get used to the fact that the calendar year starts on January 1, but the year of new achievements starts on September 1. So August is the time to think about what you will do in anticipation of next summer.
