Summer Vacation Activity Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which item helps protect your skin from the sun?
A) mittens
B) sunscreen
C) scarf
D) boots
Sunscreen is the right choice because it is a special lotion that stops the sun from burning your skin; mittens, scarves, and boots are for cold weather.
2. Where can you build a sandcastle?
A) library
B) kitchen
C) beach
D) bedroom
The beach is the only place with lots of wet sand, which you need to shape castles; libraries, kitchens, and bedrooms do not have sand.
3. What do you wear to swim in a pool?
A) pajamas
B) swimsuit
C) sweater
D) raincoat
A swimsuit is made to get wet and move easily in the water; pajamas, sweaters, and raincoats would soak up water and feel heavy.
4. Which treat helps you cool down in summer?
A) hot soup
B) popsicle
C) warm bread
D) oatmeal
A popsicle is frozen cold, so it chills your mouth on a hot day; hot soup, warm bread, and oatmeal are all warm foods that would make you feel hotter.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. We splash in the pool on hot days.
The answer is 'pool'. A pool holds cool water, which makes splashing the perfect way to beat the summer heat.
2. I wear sunglasses to protect my eyes from the sun.
The answer is 'sunglasses'. Sunglasses have dark lenses that block bright sunlight so your eyes feel comfortable outside.
3. We spread a blanket on the grass for our picnic.
The answer is 'blanket'. A picnic blanket gives us a clean, dry place to sit and eat on the grass.
4. The lifeguard watches the swimmers at the beach.
The answer is 'swimmers'. Lifeguards keep a careful eye on swimmers in the water to make sure everyone stays safe.
5. We collect seashells by the shore.
The answer is 'seashells'. Waves wash pretty seashells onto the shore, and kids love to gather them in buckets.
