In today's world, it can be hard to find things to do with your family. My family and I, are always trying to stay busy and get creative in finding new things to do. I put together a list of 10 things to help give you ideas of things to do together to stay busy and have some family fun!
1. Pool Days!
There is nothing like a day in the sun to boost your mood! Pack up a cooler and your favorite floats and head to the pool! You can pack some lunch and snacks and have some quality family time. There are tons of games you and your family can play too, the famous "Marco-Polo", Sharks and meadows and other games you can come up with! This can give you that mental break you need and allow the kids to have a blast splashing and playing.
2. Have a picnic!
There are plenty of beautiful locations to have a picnic with your family, like a park or a beach or even in your back yard! Maybe pack some sandwiches, pasta salad or really anything you want! Enjoying the outdoors with your crew can give you such a wonderful and fulfilling time together. You don't have to be tied up on your cell phones and paying attention to what's going on with the internet. You can take the time to play some games and admire the world around you. Are you a soccer family? Or are you able to enjoy a simple game of catch? A picnic is the perfect time to find out!
3. Movie nights!
Movie nights are a great way to bring in the night. There are tons of awesome family friendly movies on Disney+, or Netflix to choose from. You can have your kids pick a movie they like and the "grown ups" can then pick another movie. You can make a bed on the living room floor, with tons of blankets, a mattress or some sleeping bags! You can take the family to a local dollar store and get some inexpensive snacks everybody likes. Chocolates or popcorn.. You can even make it extra special and make some fun treats at home! There are so many things you can do with this idea, but it definitely gives you a chance to have fun and be creative!
4. At Home Talent show!
If anything on this list allows to you to be super silly, it's this activity! An At-home talent show is such a fun and creative activity that will help your family get to know more about each other. This is where everybody can show case their talents to one another. You can to find out more about what your kids like too. Have everybody pick something they want to do and keep it a secret until the show! Make some participation rewards together for the talent show. Then everybody can take turns and just be themselves!
5. Cooking or Baking!
It's not a secret that food brings people together. Cooking or baking with your family is a such a good way to spend time together in the comfort of your own home. You have endless options of foods you can make! It is such a wonderful time! You can make anything from a full-course dinner to a fun decorative cake together. This gives you time to really connect and talk to your family. Plus, maybe somebody else in the family will take up cooking and even make it a hobby of their own!
