Father’s Day is almost here, and I am sure you all must be thinking, “What can I do to make Father’s Day special for my dad?” Look no further, because this article is all you need. We will be discussing some fun activities that will make Father’s Day extra memorable.
1. A small road trip:
A road trip with your loved ones is always a fun time, and what better way to have fun with your family on the occasion of Father’s Day? I’m sure all fathers around the world are tired of driving around their kids. This time take the steering wheel in your own hands and drive to your father’s favourite locations with him in the passenger seat. Bonus point if you put his favourite snacks on his seat before he sits in the car! I am sure he will have the time of his life.
2. Bake together:
Baking will not only give you a fun time with your dad, but at the end of it, you will have yourself a nice treat to enjoy with him. Special occasions require something sweet to celebrate them. Bake some lip-smacking goodies, like muffins, cinnamon rolls, brownies, or anything else. Spending time together while baking will create a special bond between you and your father and he will always associate the act of baking with you.
3. Organise a family workout:
If your father is a health freak, this one will surely blow his mind. Plan a workout for the whole family together. Not only is this fun, but it will also show your father that you pay attention to his likes and dislikes. You can book Zumba or yoga instructors online who can come to your house and help you and your loved ones work out.
4. Karaoke night:
Whether it is with your family or friends, karaoke is always a fun time. Get some snacks from the store and download all your dad’s favourite songs. Nothing will make him happier than jamming out to his favourite tunes. Organising a karaoke night is easy as you only need a TV or speaker to play the music. Having mics does not matter, what matters is having a blast with your family.
5. Make him a brunch spread:
if your father is a foodie, then you need to try this activity. Make him a beautiful spread of all his favourite dishes for brunch. Don’t worry about leftovers since he will eat them for dinner too! As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!
6. Plan a game night:
I am sure when you have not played board games in very long. I would suggest you reach the back of your storage rooms and find all your old, dusty board games for a special night on Father’s Day. It will be playfully competitive and fun for you and your loved ones to play games like Monopoly, Ludo, Snakes and Ladders and more. I’m sure your father will feel a sort of nostalgic bliss playing the games he used to play as a child, but this time with his children.
7. Art and Craft:
You can never go wrong with some art and craft to make a special day memorable. Buy some canvases, paints, and paintbrushes from your nearby store and that is all you need for this activity. You and your loved ones can all try to paint the same pictures by memory, and see who paints the best. You can also try a game where one of you paints on a canvas for five minutes and then passes it on to the next person to add to the existing painting. Keep passing the canvas every five minutes and see what you end up with.
8. Picnic:
A picnic is a simple yet sweet way to celebrate this special occasion of Father’s Day with your family. Get some snacks such as sandwiches, chips, chocolates, and a small cake for celebration. Take your baskets to a nearby park and lay it all down. If you don’t have a park anywhere near you, don’t worry. Just follow the same steps, but instead, do them in your backyard. It is less about the action and more about the effort that you put in.
9. Movie night:
All of us have a favourite movie and so do our fathers. What better way to celebrate him than by creating a theatre at home that runs his favourite movie on the screen? Make him some buttery popcorn with a can of Coke and I’m sure he will have the time of his life. If you have a projector, make sure to use it so that the movie can be displayed on a bigger, theatre-like screen.
10. Camping:
This one is for all the adventurous dads out there. Get your tents out since it is time to go camping. It is a warm, fun-filled activity your father will always cherish. Imagine having toasted marshmallows while listening to your father’s horror stories – it doesn’t get better than this! if there is no campsite near you, then just set up your tent in your backyard, and you will be good to go.
11. Wash his car:
This one is the simplest, yet, the most thoughtful thing you can do for your father. We should be doing this regardless of Father’s Day. Imagine him waking up to a fully clean and shiny car – it is bound to make his day. Helping always goes a long way, especially when it is helping our parents since they dedicate their whole lives to us. The simple act of washing his car is something he will remember forever.
I hope that with this list, you have an idea of what to do on this coming Father’s Day. It doesn’t matter what you do, what matters is making your father happy and creating memories that you will always look back to.
