It’s official, August is Family Fun Month! It’s another chance to spend quality time with your family. So what will you do? Get creative and make it fun.

When I asked my boys for suggestions of family activities they responded with, “have a video game competition, visit the water park and going to the movies.” I searched the internet for more ideas and the results are below. Here are 7 ways to have fun with your family this month.

1.      Pitch a tent in your yard and have a campout or cookout.

2.      Have a family game show night – base your game on a real game show or make up trivia questions based on your family history.

3.      Make sock puppets – how often have you discovered that you couldn’t find a mate to a pair of socks? Now you can put that misfit sock to good use, transform it into a sock puppet. Hold a puppet show.

4.      Read under a blanket – set up a blanket tent in your living room, get out a flashlight and snuggle with a favorite book.

5.      Visit an amusement park

6.      Take a class together – Is there a hobby or activity that you’ve always wanted to try, do it now. Take a drawing class together, cooking class, or go swimming together.

7.      Create your own bubble solution – a combination of dish soap and water is an easy way to make bubbles.

Many of the above ideas were adapted from the sheknows website. Click here for a complete list of family fun ideas.
