What are some fun family things you do with kids? Mine are ~11 and ~13. I’m getting tired of my tried and true fall backs. I want new things to entice family fun. This group is always so good at lists! What are some things you do in the evenings to pass the time as a family? What about weekends? The more spontaneous the better! Board games? What else keeps a family centered on famliy but still is appealing fun for tweens and teens?
Our (feeling lame) List:
- Chess
- Board games (we REALLY need some new ones in this category)
- Watching PBS Nature or Nova curled up in “the big bed”
- Walks
- Park explores
- G/PG movies
- Baking cookies, etc.
- A good read aloud
I don’t feel too excited about any of them!! Anymore. Help!!
*Keep in mind I am not thinking of the “big” stuff you do as a family. More how do you pass the time in the evenings and the down time on the weekends?
Chores
Crafts
- I find lots of ideas on Pinterst
- my 11yo loves to sculpt with oven-bake clay
- they teach each other how to draw, sew, or sculpt specific things
- they do drawing contests
- latch-hooking
We watch silly youtube videos…although there are lots of inappropriate ones as well, so you have to be careful with this
Board game favorites here are: Go Fish, Memory, Settlers of Catan (for the older ones), Headbandz, Uno
Puzzles–we’ll work on a big puzzle as a family
We love to visit local parks/playgrounds, and this time of year the apple orchards
