Weekends and time off with the family feels like precious time.

But often we can all be guilty of wasting it away. It won’t be intentional. It could just be that you have chores to do in your home and other things to think about. However, when you look back on your life, you will want to enjoy memories with the family, so often it is a good idea to implement some family time into your weekends and vacations from work. But what can you do? Here are some ideas to get you inspired. 

Purchase Tickets To A Haunted House

Some families have a quirky sense of humor and like things a little more unique, and there is nothing more different than booking tickets to a haunted house. Finding tickets to the right haunted house is crucial, and many will offer different things.

Some will be theatrical, some will be based on true stories and some will just be creepy. It might be a great way to spend an evening with older children and embrace the quirkiness. 

Play An Escape Room Type Game

There is a rise in popularity when it comes to things such as games for the family, and booking in for an escape room type challenge could be a great thing to do together. You get locked into a room essentially, and then you need to solve the clues and figure out the puzzles rot get yourself back out within a certain time. Working together as a team. It can be a lot of fun that the whole family could enjoy. 

Go For A Hike And Enjoy Geocaching

There is nothing quite like a bit of good old fashioned fun and hiking can be a great thing that the whole family can enjoy. Orienteering your way through a different trek and marveling at the views and the countryside you find yourself in. You could also add geocaching into the mix and seek out hidden treasures. Family members young and old will love this. 

Enjoy Something Active

Maybe you like to be more active as a family, and with a focus on health and activity right now, then doing things with the family that involves exercise could be a great thing to do together. You could look at things such as water sports for the Adrenalin junkies among you, or things like bike rides and runs. There can be lots of different activities and you could also look into training together for competitions such as runs, obstacle courses or longer bike rides. 

Learn Something New

Finally, maybe now is the time to start thinking about what you can do together and learn something new. A language, perhaps because you all have a change coming up or a holiday that you want to be able to speak the language. It could be learning new skills like baking or cooking, doing it together and helping each other practice. Learning is something we should never stop doing, and doing it as a family can be a great bonding exercise. 

Let’s hope this has given you some inspiration for some of the exciting things you can do with the family.
