Make Father’s Day Fun: Dad-Approved Activities for the Whole Family

June 10, 2014

Who do you go to when you need help fixing the car? Dating advice? Sports tips? Dear ol’ Dad is the go-to guy when we need advice without a coating of sugar or when we need someone to show us how to fix things we didn’t even know needed fixing. He’s the one who spent early mornings teaching us how to ride a bike and late evenings waiting for us to come home from a date.

This year, celebrate Dad with the greatest gift you can give him: some uninterrupted quality time together. Here are some creative and fun Father’s Day activities the whole family can enjoy:

Father's Day fishingFather’s Day fishing trip. Pack a picnic and sail away with Dad on a day full of fishing fun and family bonding. Then, head home and turn the spoils of the trip into a delicious dinner for all to enjoy.

Help him organize the tool shed. Help your old man get organized by tackling the mess that is the garage or tool shed. Come prepared with empty drawers, storage boxes, and an abundance of labels.

Play mini golf. Does Dad spend his free time working on his backswing? Let him spend time with his favorite people while partaking in his favorite activity with a family trip to the local mini gold course.

Picnic and playtime at the park. For a simple, but success-guaranteed idea, why not grab a soccer ball and Frisbee and head to the local park for a relaxing day full of family fun? Pack a meat and cheese filled picnic basket for the perfect protein-packed midday snack.

Funny TV Dads Marathon. Does Dad ask himself “what would Al Bundy do” before making a decision? Let him spend the day with his family and his favorite fictional TV dads! Pair this with a meal filled with his favorites for the ultimate Father’s Day celebration.
