13 FUN IDEAS FOR HOW TO CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY AS A FAMILY

1. 13 FUN IDEAS FOR HOW TO CELEBRATE
FATHER’S DAY AS A FAMILY

2. 1) Go Fishing
Pack up the tackle box and plan a day at the pier or nearby lake. This is
usually a favorite activity and one he may not get to take advantage of very
often. You can also include other dads to go, such as grandfathers, son-in-
laws, siblings, or other family friends.

3. 4) Spend a Day at the Beach
Enjoy the summer sunshine and go surfing, swimming or build sandcastles in the
wet sand. Encourage your kids to spend some time gathering special seashells for
Dad.

4. 3) Let Him Sleep In
Weekends are usually filled with chores and busy schedules, so giving him some extra
shut-eye will start his day off right. Maybe even bring him his coffee and breakfast in
bed!

5. 2) Give Him a Show!
Why not celebrate Father’s Day by planning an outing for an action packed
movie or by encouraging the kids to put together a small play or
performance.

6. 5) Take a Break from Tech
Agree as a family to take a break from technology by using the OurPact app to
block all internet and apps on your phones and tablets for the whole day. Make
an effort to be fully present as a family and enjoy each other, without
distractions!

7. 6) Create a Family Video
Make a home video by filming small clips talking about what you love most
about him. You can film on a phone or tablet and create a video with iMovie.
Then, share it with him on Father’s Day and send it to him to cherish forever.

8. 7) Go Off the Beaten Path
Go for a hike, bike ride or even just walk the dog somewhere in nature to unplug
and get away from the daily grind of life. Encourage Dad to select the trail or
location that he wants to venture to.

9. 8) Give Him a Feast
Celebrate Father’s Day by a grilling a great meal and then sitting down as a
family and enjoying it together.

10. 9) Share a Professional Family Photo
Plan a photo shoot before Father’s Day and then give him a framed picture as a
surprise. He won’t be the only one beaming, and the kids will cherish the photos
as they grow.

11. 10) Go to a Game
Is his favorite sports team playing nearby? Take him to a game and watch his face
light up seeing his favorite team play.

12. 11) Have a Backyard Day
If you have younger kids, set up games in the backyard, such as
croquet, lawn bowling and tag football. Organize a lunch and
either eat outside on the patio or have a mock-picnic on the
grass!

13. 12 ) Plan a Picnic
Make his favorite foods and take him to the park to enjoy them. Take along a baseball
or football and maybe play a little catch, too.

14. 13) Let Him Know You’re
Proud of Him
Dads work hard all year doing lots of things for the family. Let him know you are proud of
him and that you appreciate his efforts. This goes a long way and reminds him how
important he is to you.
