0:00 51:35

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen are going to be taking a summer break after the June 11 episode. But fear not, they are still here to be your guides to a great summer. They swap ideas for keeping kids entertained without losing your sanity - from making play time a neighborhood affair to where to find the best summer deals.

But first they have a round of triumphs and fails that include a school refusal you have to respect.

This week on the Plus Playground: Tips to avoid the Summer Slide.
