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
