Summer is a wonderful time for families to come together and bond, but arranging everyone’s schedules can be a real challenge. Between work, friends, sports, chores and other activities, it may seem like there is no time for family bonding. Here are 3 activities you can do with your family on a tight schedule:
Go for a walk
Getting the family together and going for a walk either in the morning before work or at night when everyone returns home is a great family summer activity. Walking is not only a great way to stay active, but it also is a wonderful time to talk and enjoy the outdoors together. If you choose to go at night you can hear about everyone’s day, and maybe even enjoy a sunset together. Another great benefit of this activity is that you can choose the length and time you walk. So if you are on a tight schedule, you can still have the bonding experience.
Play Yard Games
Yard games such as bocce ball, croquet, polish golf, and bean bag toss are great summer yard games. They don’t take long to set up and they can be played in a short amount of time. These games get you outside of the house, enjoying the weather and promote a little family competition. Kids of all ages are sure to love these games, and even parents too.
Explore a Local Park
Find a local park near you and go exploring. Search for new areas of the park, areas you have never seen before. Bring a camera with you and take photos of nature. You can even make it a competition to see who can take the best nature photo. You may even bring a blanket with and have a short picnic with snacks. Doing so will get your family out exploring the community and will provide lasting memories together.
So take some time out of your busy lives, get out and try these short summer family activities. They will bring your family together and will provide a great opportunity for everyone to relax, bond and enjoy the beautiful summer sun.
