Running List Of Things Professionals Can Teach Their Kids During The Summer

Many working professionals struggle to find time to bond with their kids. For what it's worth, here are some of the things that I've put on list of possible things to do for the summer. It is sort of a "daddy-school curricula". Some of the items (like card games) are also cross-generational, which can also have unique benefits. Here's my tentative list:
- Music (Singing) - helps to build self-esteem and ability to communicate more confidently
- Blackjack - card game that improves math and basic strategy skills
- Poker - card game that improves knowledge of probability and reading people
- Hearts - card game that improves strategy skills
- Presidents - helps dad learn something he never learned too well
- Math - find the areas to improve upon based on school feedback/report cards
- Joke Telling - make kids better than their parents and improve memory skills
- Chinese
- Art - Origami
- Swimming
- Bike Riding
- Bible
- Mythology
- History
- Acting & Movies
- Dance Steps
- School Workbook Lessons
- Sports
