My ideas.

When I was a substitute teacher, I had a few ideas.

The Alphabet Sentence - write the letters A-Z vertically on a piece of paper then write one complete sentence using every letter, in order. example:

As

Bill

Chases

Dogs

Every

Friday,.........

 

Time Blocks

 

A printed and posted schedule is always helpful to keep boredom in check. Ours is not particulary detailed. Just blocks of time (15 min- 2 hours) of activities. 30 min of chore (laundry) 1 hour of free time, 30 minutes of hand work (craft, writing, whatever it is working with their hands), 30 min of outside play (maybe longer if it's not scorching hot), 30 min of worksheets (my kid has to do some schoolwork during the summer to keep her allowance.), snack time, letter writing (write to friend or family member)....
