A DAY TO REMEMBER: There's plenty of activities you can do with dad on Father's Day that everyone will enjoy. This may (or may not) be one of them.
Father’s Day is often synonymous with the gifts dad receives in the morning, but how you spend the remainder of the day is usually where the real fun and precious memories lie.
Why not plan to enjoy one of these activities together on the first Sunday in September, for a Father’s Day to remember.
- Let Dad choose the menu for the day. If the way to a man’s heart really is through his stomach, then ask Dad to prepare his dream menu ahead of time and dish it out course by course on his special day.
- Go fishing. Casting a line with the kids is an enjoyable and relaxing way to spend Father’s Day. Children’s rods and fishing tackle don’t have to be expensive and even if you catch nothing, it’s sure to generate laughs.
- Enjoy a bike ride. Spending the afternoon exploring the neighbourhood or nearby sights on two wheels is a fun and healthy option for Dad and the kids.
- Go for a hike. Find a local hiking or walking trail the entire family can enjoy comfortably and pack a small, portable picnic to eat at some point during the journey.
- Play mini golf. Even if Dad prefers to play golf on an 18-hole fairway, miniature golf is still fun and a great way for kids of all ages to get involved.
- Plan a scavenger hunt. Prepare a series of cryptic clues that will ultimately lead Dad to one of his favourite places. Perhaps that location could be number 7?
- Go to a football game. Whatever code he follows, going to the footy with the family is a great day out – even more so if his team wins.
- Go bowling. If it’s raining on Father’s Day, spending it tenpin bowling could be right up Dad's alley. Go for the bumper bowling option so little kids can also enjoy a game.
- Create a family tree. If you’re not a sporty family, why not dust off the photo album and recreate the family tree. All you need is a large piece of paper, glue, textas or crayons and a selection of happy snaps. Plenty of anecdotes are guaranteed along the way.
- Build something together. Whether it be a modest fort in a backyard tree or a papier mâché monster, anything where there's creativity and free flowing ideas is bound to be heaps of fun.
- Throw a party. If all other ideas fall flat, who not invite other families to your place for a Father’s Day celebration – everyone loves a party held in their honour.
- Have a movie night. For the perfect end to the day, make Dad's favourite pizza (and popcorn) and watch a classic family-friendly flick together.
