The swimming pool offers valuable benefits, especially in a fast-paced city living in condo in the Philippines. Aside from refreshing the body, the pool is also ideal in working out those stiff muscles and sore joints. 5. Wet games Kids can enjoy the pool in more ways than one. Here, they can play wet games that are not allowed indoors such as water gun shooting, rainmaking, and blowing bubbles. 6. Star gazing For most kids, the best part about summer is being allowed to sleep later than usual. Make good use of this adjusted sleeping time by developing your kid’s creativity. You may head to your condo’s sky lounge to gaze at the stars and have fun forming constellations. 7. Slumber party
Extended sleeping time becomes even more fun when shared with friends. Allow your kids to invite friends over for a slumber party.
8. Late-night movie
Now’s the time to watch a late-night movie – something that can’t be done on schooldays. So bring out the popcorn and choose a movie that the whole family will enjoy.
9. Book reading

Games work well in developing camaraderie and strengthening family relationships. Card games, board games and charades are fun and fit for all ages.
11. Science experiments
Learning goes beyond school and beyond childhood. Science experiments have a way of fascinating both children and adults, while introducing interesting science concepts. Here’s a simple one that your family can try at home: The Invisible Ink. Using vinegar, white wine or milk as an ink, write an invisible message on paper using a cotton swab, dampened finger or toothpick. Let the message dry. Then reveal the message by ironing the paper or holding it up to a hot light bulb. Use the experiment to play games such as mystery clues.
12. Sports
A condo offers a wide range of fitness game plan while living in the city. You can use the sports facilities in your amenity area, such as basketball, tennis or badminton for your physical well being.
13. Gym
The summer heat may bring you to a lazy mode, but this is not an excuse to miss your daily exercise. This condo for rent in Taguig has a gym that may be the best place for you to start a workout routine.
14. Walking
Path walks along your condo can be a good place for exercise too. A daily morning condo walk can energize the body and relax the mind at the same time.
15. Biking

Surely, you have condo neighbors who share your passion for reading. You may consider organizing a neighborhood book club to share your reading experiences.
19. Home improvement
In case you’re considering a change in drapes or wall color, summer is a good time to work on these home improvements since paint and washed textile can dry more easily. Summer condo ideas, such as changing pillow covers into brighter colors, will bring the summer spirit into your home.
20. Indoor plants
If you can’t take a few days off for nature-tripping, why not take nature into your home? Start planting some indoor plants that can filter the indoor air while providing a cool and relaxing atmosphere.
21. Pursue a hobby
Summer may be the best opportunity for a hobby that you haven’t found time to pursue. Start painting, sculpting or crafting artworks. By the end of summer, you might have just created a perfect masterpiece.
22. Write songs or stories

This new season might be a good chance too to try a new look. You might want to dare with a new hairdo, or enroll in a fitness program for a new figure. Pampering oneself every once in a while helps relieve the stress.
24. Refreshments
With all the free time, this may be the perfect opportunity to teach your children some entrepreneurial skills. Encourage them to prepare and sell refreshments, like lemonade and ice cream. By living in a big neighborhood, they automatically gain a potential market.
25. Garage sale
Aside from refreshments, there are other high-selling summer items too, such as swimming gears, swimming pool toys and summer decorative items. If you have some old, usable summer items, have your children sell them in a garage sale.
