Families have been having fun together for generations. Perhaps dating back to caveman times when they would play music, tell stories and play games, fun has been an important part of the human experience and quality of life! Today, some families may have a tendency to be a bit serious, working hard at jobs or school, so they might need a reminder to go out and enjoy themselves. And that’s what Family Fun Month is all about!
Get in the Water for Family Fun
Family Fun Month is an ideal time to cut the heat by heading out to places that have water. From swimming pools to splash pads, from backyard slippery slides to a day at the lake or beach, there’s always family fun to be had when water is involved.
Host a Family Fun Month Game Day
Family Fun Month is a great time to get the neighborhood or community together for some delightful games that can include the whole family. Host a barbecue and include some classic games like three-legged races, egg-and-spoon races, crab walk, sack jump or some other fun activities that gets everyone moving.
Take a Series of Family Fun Month Hikes
Getting outdoors is the name of the game when it comes to Family Fun Month! Family members both young and old can enjoy some time with adventures outdoors. Plan a series of weekend hikes all throughout the month to different local areas of interest. From woods and streams to hills and mountains, going on a hike encourages the whole family to explore, discover and work together to make the most out of nature.
Create a Family Fun Month Theme Song
Depending on the age of the kids in the family, it might be fun to choose a theme song for celebrating Family Fun Month. In a competitive family, it could be something like We Are the Champions by Queen. For a wild family, the song choice might be Let’s Go Crazy by Prince. Or perhaps Pharrell Williams’ song Happy would be just the soundtrack for this event. In any case, choose a song or two, have the kids help to create some motions and maybe even do a performance with a recording for posterity.
