How many of these ideas have you experimented with throughout the years?

Traditions can be very powerful — your kids will likely remember your quirky routines for years and years to come. Back-to-school season is the perfect time to start a tradition, because let's face it, you and the kids could both use something fun to look forward to as the Summer comes to a close.

Whether you have a tradition already or not, read through for 15 back-to-school traditions you should start with your kids this year.

1 Take first-day-of-school grade photos.

When it comes to school photos, the focus tends to be on school picture day. Take a bunch of photos on every first day of school and frame your favorites together so that on their last first day of school they’ll have a huge collage of their entire school career (that doesn't feature weird tie-dye backgrounds)!

2 Make a fancy first-day-of-school breakfast.

Whether you crowdsource and ask the kids what they want to eat on their first day or make something super special that feels like a huge treat — like a huge stack of funfetti pancakes! — eating breakfast together that first morning makes for a great photo op and a tradition they’ll look forward to. (It can also help ease them into their first day if they’re feeling a little worried.)

3 Host a school-supplies scavenger hunt.

Go on a solo trip to grab all of the supplies on their lists, then color code each child’s supplies and hide things all around the house the night before school starts for them to find. The first kiddo to complete their list and pack all of their supplies in their bookbag gets a special treat.

4 Ask the same questions every first day of school.

Make a list of questions to ask your child on every first day of school to make a little time capsule of who they are at that time. Read their previous answers every year and then compile them all to see how much they changed year to year or to see what things stayed the same over the years.

Question inspiration:

Who is your best friend?
What is your favorite book?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What is your favorite food?
What is your favorite subject in school?
What is your favorite thing to do?
