Did you know August is National Family Fun Month? It’s the perfect time to make the most of the last days of summer. Whether you are one with nature or prefer to be indoors away from all things bugs, I have 9 unique family activities that you can add to your list:
- Family Talent Show: Let them kids know you are more than just their mother. Show off your skills whether it’s singing, dancing, or telling jokes. It’s a great way to celebrate everyone’s talent and laugh together.
- Travel Virtually: Pick a country you want to visit and create a virtual travel experience. Learn about the culture, cook a traditional meal, or even try to learn of few words in the local language.
- Family Fitness Challenge: Create a challenge with different exercises or activities each day. Track your progress and celebrate milestones together while promoting health and fitness.
- Storybook Picnic: Choose your favorite book and base your picnic around it. Create themed snacks and activities that relate to the story. Enjoy a day of relaxation, playing, and snacks. Don’t forget to include Quality Moments Card Game for some fun family competition.
- Family Game Olympics: Now that we have all been inspired by the amazing athletes, set up mini-Olympics in your backyard. Make different game stations, such as sack races, relay races, water balloon toss and obstacle courses. Give award medals or fun prizes for each event.
- Volunteer Together: Find a local charity or community service project that you can participate in as a family. It’s a great way to spend time together while giving back to your community.
