Family Fun Month is celebrated in August

National Family Fun Month

Family Fun Month, celebrated throughout August is an excellent opportunity to spend quality time with those near and dear to you, and most importantly, have fun! No matter where you live, what you do, or what your budget is, you are creating lifelong memories, so enjoy every moment. Here are a few ideas to make this month special and memorable:

• Go camping – Whether you head to the hills or just set up the tent in your backyard, there is nothing like the joy of sleeping outside for kids. It shakes things up from the routine and inspires teamwork.
• Enjoy a backyard campfire
• Build a backyard fort
• Take a Family bike ride
• Day trip to the zoo
• Try Fishing
• Take a Hike
• Visit your local park
• Create a talent show
• Cook meals together
• Have a karaoke night
• Bake – Kids always love to help out in the kitchen when sweets are involved. Ask them what their favorite types of cookies or treats are. Go to the store a family to buy the ingredients and have some fun in the kitchen making treats. After the work has been completed, enjoy your treats together as a family.
• Play sports – Grab a ball, maybe a glove or a bat and go outside as a family to play some games.
• Frequent your local farmers market
• Have a book night – Take a trip to the local library and check out some books so you can cuddle up with your family and read. You might want to include a longer novel where everyone can read a chapter or two, then have a snack, read a couple more, then talk about the book.
• Family game night – Monopoly anyone!
• Create a family bucket list for each season
• Scavenger Hunt – A scavenger hunt can be fun and educational while giving your family the opportunity to rediscover your town or a favorite spot.
