Have a blast trying these fun family activities.
Go on a family scavenger hunt with a list of things to do or find. Perhaps walk around your neighborhood looking for a squirrel, something purple or the number 7. You could pick up trash, say hello to someone or touch a stop sign. |
Camp inside! Lay your sleeping bags around a campfire made of flashlights and red and yellow tissue paper. Cook s’mores in the microwave and sing campfire songs. |
Look through old family photos and listen to stories of when Mom and Dad were growing up. |
Build a masterpiece out of marshmallows and toothpicks. |
Bug hunt! Take photos of each creepy crawly bug you find and make a bug book. |
Darken a room. Using flashlights, cast light on a bare wall. Make shadow animals using arms and hands. |
Prepare a giant, family-sized ice cream sundae. Be sure to use each family member’s favorite topping. |
Drive to the nearest airport and watch the planes take off and land. Afterward, make paper airplanes and have a flying contest. |
Design an obstacle course using everyday items such as a lawn chair, sprinkler or Hula Hoop. Remember the stopwatch! Time each family member to see who is the fastest. |
Eat dinner by candlelight and listen to your favorite music. |
