The more time you spend together; the better chance you have of sharing quality experiences. A strong family finds that opportunities for quality time emerge from quantity time.
Below are some fun things to do with family:
- Interactive Movie Night
Watch a movie together as a family. A great way to keep this idea interactive includes watching a film with a human interest message and discussing it afterwards. This way the kids learn valuable lessons as well!
- Engage in A Family Competition
Art contest, maybe? All it takes is some crayons, markers, paper, glue, tape and some odds and ends from around the house. When you involve your kids in a group task, you encourage feelings of self-esteem and competence. Make the task more memorable by giving a little prize to each child, for his or her creation.
- Cook and Eat
Always remember a family that eats together, stays together. Make it a point to have a “Family Meal Night”, where everyone prepares a different dish. This is a great lesson on teamwork and everyone will enjoy a tasty meal cooked together.
- Let’s Play
Arrange for a match with friends. Ask your children to arrange a match for both the adults as well as the younger ones. You’ll crash your fun goals and exercise goals, all in one game!
- Barbecue
A barbecue is the best idea for outdoor activities. Invest in a small barbeque stove, call your family members and prepare a barbecue party! Each family can take up one responsibility; the one with the largest garden or open space can host the party.
- Board Games
A fun-packed weekend need not cost a fortune. Board games such as scrabble are a great way to make the weekend fun for all members of the family. Dig out the old board games from the attic and teach a new generation to play.
- Visit A Zoo
It is always fun to go see wild animals in the zoo! This is the kind of activity that is fun and serves all age groups. It’s a great way to catch a short break and helps you connect with nature.
- Camping
Grab a tent and tell stories while sitting around the campfire. It is good to remind the children that fun doesn’t have to cost money.
