Do you wish to enjoy some quality time with your family outside but don’t know which or how? Here is a comprehensive list of activities in all seasons to guarantee fun and time well spent.
Assuming all adult family members are healthy, many outdoor activities are enjoyable. In the spring and summer months, consider going on a hike together or having a picnic lunch in the park. If you have access to a beach, take a stroll along the shoreline or go for a swim. Fall is the perfect time to go apple or pumpkin picking, and in the winter, you can hit the slopes for some skiing or snowboarding.
There are endless possibilities for outdoor activities that the whole family can enjoy together. And what better way to bond than by getting fresh air and spending time in nature?
If either of you is physically incapacitated, you can:
•Watch the sunset or sunrise
•Look at the stars
•Have a picnic lunch inside
•Have a water balloon fight
•Plant a garden together
•Draw with chalk on the driveway or sidewalk.
If you’re celebrating someone, you can:
•Have a birthday party
•Have a pool party
•Have a barbecue
•Have a picnic lunch inside or outside
•Go to an amusement park.
You can also play yard pong if you’re in the mood for some drinks. In the game, ten cups are set up in a triangle, and two players take turns throwing a ping pong ball into the other player’s cups. Once the cups have been made, the opponent must drink all the beer in them. The first person to make their opponent drink all their beer wins the game.
For giant yard pong, however, you’ll need:
•A ping pong ball
•A paddle (or your hand)
•A cup for each player
•Beer
You can substitute water or any other beverage if you don’t drink. Teams can be made up of two to four people; if you have more than eight people playing, you can set up multiple games.
Many outdoor activities can be enjoyed with children. Consider going to the park or playground, flying kites, or having a water balloon or water gun fight in the spring and summer months. If you have access to a pool, take the kids swimming. Fall is the perfect time for a nature scavenger hunt or to go on a hayride. Camping in the backyard is also a fun activity for kids. You can also buy target darts for them and enjoy the darts game.
Many outdoor activities can be enjoyed in the water. Consider swimming at the beach or pool in the spring and summer months. If you have access to a lake, take the family out on a boat ride. Fall is the perfect time for kayaking or canoeing down a river. You can teach the kids basic surfing skills.
You can teach your kids to manage their finances by setting up a lemonade stand. You can also have a bake sale or car wash to raise money for a charity of your choice. These activities can instill essential life skills in your children.
Other educational outdoor activities include:
•Taking a nature hike and learning about the different plants and animals
•Taking a trip to the zoo
•Going on a safari
•Taking a trip to a carnival.
