10 family activities that won’t break the bank
Family fun doesn’t have to break the bank! Call a family meeting, give everyone 10 small pieces of coloured paper and get them to write an idea on each piece. Depending on the ages of the children, you can set a budget or just enjoy whatever idea pops up. Put all the ideas in a jar and draw one anytime you need a new idea.
I’ll start you off:
Potluck dinner with friends and family
Hiking or skating in natural beauty - and maybe an ice cream or hot chocolate on the way home!
Gifting experiences for later in the year for birthdays or Christmas
Mini golf
Taking advantage of your city’s offerings, like BMX tracks on off nights, outdoor rinks and toboggan hills
Outdoor movie night for the neighbourhood kids
Garage Sale hopping
Geo caching
Nerf or Super Soaker challenge with a trophy for the winning family
