62 Creative Things To Do With Family

2020 has left us with many challenges and unfortunate changes, but there have been some positive aspects to this year’s quarantine, as well. It’s brought families together in ways we haven’t seen in decades. We’ve spent more time together, and we’ve been creative in finding fun activities to do with one another. We’ve put down our electronic devices and placed our focus back where it should be—on our loved ones.  

Isolation has a way of creating desires to be with family and friends. It allows us to stop to evaluate where we were before it started. Our world had become rushed. We focused on getting the kids to ball games, dance recitals, and many other activities. Our jobs became more demanding, pulling us away for hours each day. However, all of the craziness came to an abrupt stop in March when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, leading us to make significant adjustments. 

I spent my summer quite differently than most, but when I conquered my battle for life, what I saw with my family and friends was beautiful. They had remembered the value of time and relationships. They had embraced living life to the fullest instead of consuming themselves in the daily grind. 

To help keep you remain focused on spending time with your family, I’ve made a list of 62 activities you can do together. A downloadable checklist is available at the bottom of this post. I hope you enjoy my suggestions! 

1 Take a walk

This one may be pretty obvious, yet it’s worth mentioning. It could be a walk around the neighborhood or through your community. Either way, walking has many benefits – weight loss, better cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness, and stress relief. Not to mention, it’s the ideal chance to have an undistracted chat with your family members. 

2 Go camping

A trip into the wilderness is almost a right of passage for any family. Set up camp, cook around a fire, and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. It can be relaxing, fun, and an excellent chance for everyone to get away from a blue screen for a bit. 

If you prefer the comforts of home like I do, set up camp indoors. Build a blanket tent (see #21), stream some nature sounds, and tell ghost stories. Inside camping can be lots of fun, too! 

3 Play catch

Get outside and throw a ball. When the weather doesn’t permit, stay inside and try a little Paddle Toss and Catch Ball

4 Card games/Board games

There are many options to chose from in this category. Pick your family’s favorite for hours of fun. Here are a few my family enjoys:

  • Uno Attack
  • Scrabble
  • Sorry!
  • Sorry! Card Revenge
    • This one’s definitely a favorite on my family’s list. Unfortunately, it’s no longer in production. You may be able to find one used in good condition, though. 
  • Apples to Apples
  • Jigsaw Puzzles

5 Workout Together

As a personal trainer, working out together excites me. It means families are striving to be healthy! There are many options for all fitness levels and interests. 

  • Go for a run
  • Lift weights
  • Do HIIT (high-intensity interval training)
  • Have a dance party
  • Stream a workout online

6 Go for a bike ride

In addition to biking being a fun family activity, it also has many health benefits. It helps reduce anxiety and depression, improve heart and lung health, decrease body fat, promote better posture and coordination, improve joint mobility, and increase strength and flexibility. Let’s not forget to acknowledge it’ll shape up the booty and create legs of steel.

While family bike rides are enjoyable, kids are sometimes uncoordinated and unpredictable, making the adventure nerve-racking, as well. Take the time to research bike safety. Here’s an article from REI to get you started. 

7 Play yard games

Outdoor family games get everyone from toddlers to grandparents outside together. The best outdoor family games are the ones your family enjoys. From DIY games to those you buy, these activities can brighten any day spent outside. 

8 Play a court sport 

Find courts open to the public and get your game on. 

  • Basketball
  • Tennis
  • Volleyball 
  • Racketball

9 Take a drive 

You don’t have to go far to make this outing fun. Whether you pick a destination or ride around enjoying the scenery, a drive will fight away boredom. Jump in the car, turn on the radio, and go! 

10 Ax throwing 

Okay, this one’s not for the little ones in the family; however, teens and adults will have loads of fun. I would recommend going to a venue designed specifically for throwing axes because a trip to the ER isn’t on anyone’s list of creative things to do. 

11 Family Bible study

Sharing time with family, especially time that encourages spiritual growth, weaves strong relational bonds. Studying the Bible helps build firm foundations for you and your family members. These foundations will help you face the difficulties of life while reminding you to be thankful not only on the mountain tops but also in the valleys. 

Family Bible time may push some out of their comfort zones and can be slightly challenging to start. If you’re wondering where to begin, I’ve shared a simple plan in my blog post titled 3 Steps to Start a Family Bible Study to help.

12 Have a scavenger hunt

Family activities don’t have to be expensive, and a scavenger hunt is one that you can do for almost no cost. The biggest challenge will most likely be coming up with a concept and a list of things to find. Nature, neighborhood, or photo hunts are a few themes to consider. Check out this Pinterest search for more ideas. 

13 Go for a hike

My family is fortunate to live close to the Appalachian mountains. This convenience allows us the opportunity to hike the Blue Ridge Parkway and trails along waterfalls. It’s quite stunning. God’s artistry always amazes me. 

Hiking trails are available for all fitness levels. Take an easy, short hike or spend the day on more intense terrain. No matter which you prefer, you’ll want to be prepared. Be sure to pack water and snacks and make frequent energy stops. Check the weather before heading out and dress appropriately. Layers are always a good option. Your shoe choice is possibly the most important thing to consider. A good pair of hiking shoes will be well worth the purchase, but be sure to break them in before hitting the trail. 

If you’re uncertain where trails are available in your area, there are many apps available to guide you. Another useful resource is asking others where they enjoy hiking. 

14 Build a fire and make S’ mores

If you’ve never had S’ mores, you’ve been missing one of the most delightful treats ever created. S’mores are simply roasted marshmallows and a layer of chocolate bar sandwiched between two graham crackers. Are they healthy? Not at all! Sometimes you need to throw caution to the wind and enjoy a little junk food. 

15 Make homemade ice cream

Let’s go back in time a bit. If you’re my age, you may remember taking turns with your siblings hand cracking the ice cream maker. It wasn’t a quick or easy process, but the wait made the ice cream taste even better than expected. 

This ice cream maker is like Grandma’s with one worth-while upgrade; it’s electric! To share the full experience with your family, hand crack models are still available at a premium price.

16 Play a round of disc golf

Disc golf is like regular golf, but instead of hitting a ball into a hole, you throw a flying disc into a metal target. The goal is to send the disc from the tee to the basket in the fewest throws. 

Of course, you’ll need some equipment. Give this kit a try. 

17 Take a day trip

Out in the morning, back in the evening. Day trips are great fun. Of course, options will be different based on where you live. Here are some places to conder: 

  • The beach
  • The mountains
  • The zoo
  • Caverns
  • Historical monuments
  • State parks
  • Mining – gold, emeralds, etc.

18 Miniature golf

Visit a near-by miniature golf course or go crazy and build your own. The family will love this event no matter how you do it. 

19 Picnic in the park or backyard

Getting out in the fresh air is excellent for the mind and soul. Break out your basket, grab a blanket, and head outside. Don’t have a basket or blanket? Check out this extra-large picnic basket and this over-sized picnic blanket.  

20 Hold a family exercise competition

Competing with others is invigorating. These challenges don’t have to be running through fire or scaling rock walls, although those would be fun. Pick something that everyone in your family can do. 

Give one of these a try: 

21 Build a blanket fort

Kids love blanket forts. If we’re honest, so do adults. Grab a few blankets and a bunch of pillows and create an indoor getaway. You can even hang up a string of lights and bring in books to read. 

22 Ice skating or roller skating

Skating is a great way to incorporate both fun and fitness into your family activities. Outdoor ice skating rinks have a magical quality, but indoor rinks may be available in your area all year round. Roller skating seems a little easier than ice skating. Plus, roller skating rinks typically offer games and have disco lights. 

23 Create a Slip & Slide

Of course, you can purchase a Slip and Slide if you’d like. However, you can make it bigger and better; visit this Bob Vila article for the perfect instructions.

24 Have an Arts & Crafts day

Clear off the table and spend the day crafting. The options are limitless. I’ve listed a few choices below, or you can explore “crafting ideas” on Pinterest.

  • Make Christmas ornaments
  • Design puppets for a puppet show (see #37)
  • Create Shrinky Dinks
  • Do Sand Art
  • Paint rocks
  • Make a front door wreath
  • Make a bird feeder

25 Play video games

Kids enjoy playing video games with their parents because, most of the time, they’re better at it than we are. Beating us gives them joy, which in turn should fill us with satisfaction. You notice I said should in that last sentence. For those of you out there who enjoy winning as much as I do, let it go for the little ones’ sake. However, if your kids are teenagers or adults, they’re fair game. Grab a controller and play all day! 

26 Mystery Menu Meal

My mom put together a few Mystery Menu Meals when I was a kid, and the memories still excite me. Your family will be laughing for days, if not years, about this activity. 

What is a Mystery Menu Meal? Let’s let Holidappy.com do the explaining. 

27 Spend the day baking

Spend time baking together. When you’ve finished, indulge in your creations. I mean, who doesn’t love fresh baked goods? If you’d prefer your family didn’t partake in all the treats you baked, consider boxing them up and gifting them to a friend or neighbor. 

Here’s a short list of ideas: 

  • Hold an at-home Cupcake Wars.
  • Bake cookies
  • Holiday Baking
    • Decorate sugar cookies, make peanut brittle, build a gingerbread house, bake fudge. Holiday baking recipes are abundant!

28 DIY wood project workshop

Woodworking workshops are all the rage these days. Adults enjoy creating home decor, and these DIY kits from AR Workshops are perfect. If you have young children, consider one of these kits

29 Volunteer at a local homeless shelter or ministry

Check your local community and sign up to volunteer. Shelters and ministries are always looking for helping hands. Serving others together as a family is not only a gift for those you’re serving; it’s also a gift for you. The act of service helps remind us of all the blessings given to us. 

Proverbs 19:17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.

30 Have a movie marathon

Great for a rainy day or one you’d just enjoy spending in your jammies. No shower, no makeup, and no shoes! That’s a treat all its own. Add hours of movie entertainment, and you have yourself the ultimate relaxation event. You’ll want to be sure you’ve stocked up on theater treats like popcorn, Jujubes, and Milk Duds. If you’d like to go crazy, add nachos and soft pretzels to the menu. I would suggest you keep this information from your fitness and nutrition coach. It could do permanent damage to her soul. 

31 Electronics night

Being in the same room can be fulfilling even if everyone is focusing on their own devices. Embrace the presence of one another while you breathe the same air. 

32 Interview a family member

An interview is a fun way for kids to find out things about their parents that they don’t know. Encourage them to be creative in what questions they ask. They could include one or more of the following. 

  • As a kid, what did you think you would be when you grew up?
  • How did you and your friends spend your time after school and on weekends?
  • What was your favorite TV show growing up?
  • Who was your biggest celebrity crush as a teen?
  • Where did you work when you were in high school?

33 Go fishing

I’ll be honest; I’m not an outdoor kind of person. Nature doesn’t call out to me. Nevertheless, I have fond memories of spending time with my dad at my grandparents’ pond with fishing poles in our hands. For me, it wasn’t about fishing. Spending time with him was the part I cherished. 

Fishing with your family is an excellent way to bond. You’ll create memories that will last a lifetime. As a bonus, everyone will get an extra lesson in patience, as well.  

34 Plant a garden

Gardening can be a lot of fun. Plus, children can learn new skills and grow self-confidence by watching their hard work grow. If the thought of a large garden overwhelms you, consider a small herb or flower garden. Or maybe just a plant or two.   

35 Clean closets and donate items to a local charity

We all have items in our closets we no longer wear. Giving those pieces to people in need is a blessing for them and you. If you’ve never experienced the blessing of giving, you’re in for an amazing treat. 

Acts 20: 35 – In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'”

As you may know, my family launched a clothing ministry in our church called The Closet Ministry several years ago. That ministry grew into a non-profit organization and spread to multiple states across the United States. Although the non-profit no longer exists, it’s not due to a lack of success. Several churches and communities are still operating and are helping families facing financial crises. I share this here to let you know I understand the gratitude of receiving donated items to pass on to those who are struggling. Donations truly fill the hearts of many.

Clothing ministries, homeless shelters, and other organizations that accept clothing donations are in nearly every community and are always grateful for your gifts.  

36 Put on a show 

Kids love this one! It’s a chance to share their creativity, have everyone’s attention, and show off a little.  

  • Puppet show
    • You created puppets in your crafting activity (see #24). Now it’s time to put them to work—team up and put on several shows for one another.
  • Talent show
  • Magic show
    • There’s some work to do for this one. It may take some time to master a few magic tricks. 
  • Fashion show
  • Write and perform a play.

37 Host a family carnival

Most people enjoy a fun carnival, but renting equipment can be expensive. You can make or purchase plenty of popular carnival games inexpensively, however. 

Get your family carnival started with these games: 

  • Ring or beanbag toss
  • Pick a Duck
    • Items needed:
    • How to play:
      • Mark the bottom of each duck with permanent markers. Limit one color (let’s say red) to only a few ducks. 
      • Place the ducks in a pool of water.
      • The player will pick a duck from the water. If they select one with the ducks marked in red, they win a prize. 
  • Gone Fishing
    • Item needed:
      • Small fishing pole which you can make with a stick or dowel, a thin rope or yarn, and a clothespin or clip
      • A makeshift wall constructed from a large box or a blanket
    • How to play
      • The player will cast their line over the wall where an adult is hiding on the other side. 
      • The adult will clip a prize to the fishing pole and give the line a quick tug as if the child has caught a fish. 
      • The player pulls out the line and takes the prize. 
  • Lollipop Pull (similar to Pick a Duck)
    • Items needed:
      • A large bag of lollipops
      • Two permanent markers in different colors. You’ll color only a few of the ends of lollipop sticks in the winning color. 
      • lollipop stand or a large sheet of styrofoam
    • How to play:
      • The player simply pulls a lollipop out of the stand or styrofoam sheet. 
      • If they pull a lollipop with the winning color, they win a prize and get to keep the lollipop. Otherwise, the lollipop is the only prize.

In addition to the items for your games, you’ll also need prizes. These prizes should be things your family members enjoy and are age-appropriate. For the little ones, toys or candy should do the trick. Cash will make your pre-teens and teenagers content to join in the games. And for your young adult sons and daughters, have them earn points or tickets toward an item for which they’ve been saving. They’ll turn in their points or tickets for a Venmo deposit at the end of the games.

38 Write letters to the elderly in nursing homes

Senior adults in nursing homes and assisted living facilities often don’t have many visitors for various reasons. Receiving a care letter can lift their spirits and encourage them even if they don’t know you personally. 

Writing a letter by hand gives your message a personal touch and lets your reader know how much you care. Be sure to make it neat so they can read it. Start with “Dear Friend” if you don’t have their specific name. Include an introduction of yourself and tell them why you’re writing. Be creative by drawing a picture, decorating your note, or adding a puzzle print out for them to complete. 

Rest assured, whoever receives your note will have a full heart when they read it. 

39 Build an obstacle course

Go crazy on this one and create your very own Ninja Warrior backyard course or keep it simple with dollar store pool noodles. Do a quick Google search for countless ideas and watch this HGTV Handmade Youtube DIY video.

40 Do a science experiment

I’m not much of a scientist, but I know how much kids love to experiment. I’ll leave the ideas and explanations to someone who has much more experience than I do. Check out this great blog of 64 Easy Science Experiments For Kids to Do at Home by mommypoppins.com.

41 Create an escape room 

Escape rooms are very popular right now. Here’s a tutorial for your very own DIY Escape room

If you don’t have the time or desire to put that much effort into it because your days are long and creativity is lacking, here’s a link to Cardinal Games Jumanji Escape Room Game you can try. 

42 Make gratitude boards

A gratitude board is a creative way to display what fills our hearts with thankfulness. It can be a simple corkboard filled with pictures or a whiteboard covered in words like home, family, and health. Another option is to fill a large poster board with images cut from magazines or printed from the internet. 

Don’t rush through this activity. Its purpose is more than doing a craft. It’s a time to reflect on your gratitude for all your blessings. Stop to pray together as a family and give thanks for everything you choose to add to your board. 

43 Watch a backyard movie

Most people enjoy movies. The magic of cinema can unite people in unexpected ways. Set up an outdoor theater, pop some popcorn, and get ready for a fantastic evening. 

44 Go apple, berry, or pumpkin picking

Picking apples, berries, and pumpkins are some of the ultimate family-friendly activities. Find out what’s in season by calling your local farm for advice to make sure you’re going at the right time. Don’t let the fun stop there. Bake a pie, make some jam, or carve your pumpkin when you get home. 

45 Design a family T-shirt

Design a family T-shirt and wear them to holiday dinners or around town for fun. Or have your design printed on hats, masks, and other items. The choices are many. Whichever you decide, your family will enjoy the comradery of this activity.

There are many T-shirt design and printing websites available to make the process relatively easy. One of my personal favorites is Custom Ink. As with most online printing companies, after selecting the product you’d like to have printed, you either upload your design or create it in the printing companies online software program. You’ll usually have your order within 14 days. 

47 Have a family photo session

As you can imagine, my 2020 journey has led me to embrace my family and our life together. I’ve been reminiscing by looking through past photos, and one thing became apparent to me as I reflected. There aren’t many pictures with me in them. I was usually the one behind the camera. In a previous life, I was to be a professional photographer. I have told more women than I can count to get in the pictures, yet I didn’t. So let’s make sure this doesn’t happen to any woman reading this blog. 

You don’t need to rush out to buy fancy photography equipment. All you need is a simple tripod with a remote and your cell phone. 

Your photo session can be casual and chaotic. Let each of your family members set up the pose and snap away. Not surprisingly, many favorite pictures come from being silly and relaxed. 

If you’d like your session to be more serious, that’s fine, too. Style outfits, get spiffy, and make it somewhat professional. Be prepared, though. This method can become stressful and overwhelming, leading to unhappy participants. 

The shoot can be inside; however, taking your session outside might be a better idea. The most beautiful pictures are captured in beautiful lighting, which photographers referred to as “golden hour.” Golden hour is the first hour after sunrise and the last hour of light before sunset that produces warm natural light. 

Visit this post by graceoaksdesign.com for more details on creating a DIY photo session. 

48 Go to a drive-in concert

More and more artists are offering drive-in concerts due to the coronavirus pandemic. I’m pretty confident this method of entertainment will be around for a while. Check out your local venues to find options available in your area. 

49 Fondue night 

Fondue is not just dinner; it’s an event. It takes time to grocery shop, prep the food, and slowly enjoy the meal. Although it sounds fancy, fondue is pretty simple. 

You’ll need a fondue pot. Traditional pots use fire gel, or there are also electric pots available. Depending on your family’s size, you may want to have two sets so you can cook simultaneously. 

If you’re new to fondue night, three courses should be perfect. Cheese, broth, and chocolate are ideal. As always, recipes are abundant on Pinterest

Let your kids be part of the planning and prepping. They can help decide the menu, create the shopping list, set the table, and prepare the food. To make your event upscale, ask the kids to create table cards, put out your best place settings, and ask your family to dress for a special evening. The possibilities are endless. 

50 Play “What’s on Your Phone?”

Is there any doubt your teens are going to have their phones in their hands when you ask them to play a game? So why not use those phones for a good time! This game is a hoot. 

Prepping for this game is easy. Create questions in correlation with how people use their phones and give points to go along with those questions. 

For example: 

  • Do you have an alarm set for tomorrow? – 5 points 
  • Do you have a picture of your mom? – 10 points
  • Have you actually used your phone to speak with someone in the past week? – 15 points

If you’d like, you can also reduce points for things like receiving a text message during the game or having twenty or more selfies. 

Print your questions, cut them into strips, a place them in a container for drawing. 

Players will draw a question, one player at a time, look for the “evidence” on their phone, and then share their findings with the group. Keep track of their points. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins! 

51 Look through old family photos or home videos

Reminiscing with family typically leads to sharing stories from the past and laughing together about fun times. Grab your photo box and old video camera and start remembering. For those of you under forty, you’ll probably need your computer or phone because I’m assuming you most likely don’t have many printed photos. 

52 Have a cookout

I tend to forget about cooking out. I typically use my slow cooker or oven when our family comes together. Burgers and chicken on the grill are classics. Ask your adult sons and daughters to bring a side dish—no need for you to do all the work. 

53 Enjoy a water sport

There are many water sports families can do together. Be safe! 

  • Kayaking
  • White water rafting
  • Paddleboarding
  • Water skiing
  • Swimming
  • Sledding (snow is a form of water, right) 

54 Watch your favorite sports

Grab the gang and tune into your favorite sport. If the ladies in the family don’t typically join in, now is a great time to love on the guys and watch with them. Try not to ask too many questions, though. They may not invite you back. 

55 Run/walk a 5K for charity

You don’t need to be an experienced runner to participate in a 5K—or any kind of family-friendly race, for that matter. Not all runs require you to push to your next PR. Some runs are just for fun. Whether you have little ones or just want to contribute to your favorite charity, races are the ultimate family affair. Enjoy bubbles, foam, obstacles, and more with family-friendly races while giving back to your community. 

56 Play flashlight tag

Level up a game of tag by adding a flashlight. Flashlight tag is just like the original version of the game, but using light to tag one another instead of hands. 

Playing this game requires a lot of darkness. If that’s a bit too scary for the little ones, playing at dusk or even during the day with silly string is okay, also. 

57 Hold a blind taste test

Introduce new foods to your picky eaters while they guess what they’re tasting. Or let your younger testers identify flavors like sweet, spicy, and sour. Use small ramekins or a cake cup tin to separate the foods. 

Try a few of the items below for your blind taste test: 

  • Nuts: Pistachios, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamias 
  • Cheeses: cheddar, provolone, blue, swiss, goat, gouda
  • Vegetables: red and green peppers, broccoli, celery, eggplant, snow peas, butternut squash
  • Fruits: starfruit, lemon, frozen grapes or blueberries, kumquat, mango, kiwi
  • Bread: whole grain, sourdough, pumpernickel, rye

Be creative; try foods your family doesn’t typically eat or refuse to try with eyes open. 

58 Explore towns/cities in your area

There are quaint towns rich in history in every state that provide an opportunity for relaxation and family togetherness. If you love the small-town vibe, pack a suitcase to discover the irresistible charm of a road-trip worthy destination near you.

There’s no shortage of things to do on a day trip to the city if you prefer more hustle and bustle than can be found in a small town. Take a walking tour or visit a few museums. Stroll around a park. Time will fly by, and you may find yourself wanting more. 

59 Stargaze

Head out and look to the skies; the stars are glittering overhead. You’ll see more on cool evenings, so take a few blankets. You don’t have to do any more than that, but you might consider purchasing a star map if you’d like to know what stars and patterns you’re observing overhead.  

60 Make a time capsule

Memories and treasures should last a lifetime, and making a time capsule is a great way to pass them on to future generations. A time capsule is a collection of objects put together to preserve the memory of a place, experience, or group of people at one point in time. You can make a capsule to celebrate a family event, to remind you of a special occasion, or to remember friends, family, or school – or something else important to you.

People put all sorts of items into time capsules meant to be open by future generations—photos, works of art, books, and more. Although burying your capsule is an option, it isn’t required. If you decide to bury it, be sure you use an appropriate container like a glass jar or a metal box. 

Most importantly, have fun while you’re creating it and embrace the thought of future generations learning about you and your family. 

61 Complete a ropes course

Test balance and agility climbing through the trees. Some courses also include ziplining and tightropes. These courses can be difficult. You will need the support of the whole family for everyone to finish. 

Do your research to be sure you’re visiting a park suitable for each of your family members. You’ll also want to know the requirements of the park you select. 

62 Do random acts of kindness

In a world where love and compassion get overshadowed sometimes, take extra time to share kindness. There are many possibilities. The list below will give you a few ideas to get your mind turning.

  • Run errands for a neighbor
  • Send flowers to someone for no reason
  • Manicure your neighbor’s yard
  • Leave a nice note on someone’s car
  • Pay for a strangers meal
  • Donate to a friends charity
  • Send thoughtful comments on social media

There you have it; 62 creative things to do with your family! It’s my hope this list helps you spend time with your family making life-long memories. 

I’ve created a checklist for you to use as your family dives into these activities. Take your time working through the list, enjoying the journey.
