Family Activities
(for Ages Under 16)
Go to your little brother's awards ceremony for scouting. This would make him feel very important. Treat him to an ice cream cone afterwards.
Build paper or balsa wood boats and have a race down a small stream.
Pick wildflowers and take them to a shut in. Spend time to visit.
Go to a church party, activity, or show.
Have a letter-writing night when everyone writes a letter to a community leader, a missionary, or a relative.
Bottle fruit or make jam.
Decorate a basket or vase, then fill it with wild flowers. Place the flowers on someone's porch who needs cheering up. Leave an anonymous note with some words of encouragement.
Take turns writing on a roll of toilet paper (jokes, messages, stories, experiences, etc.), then deliver it to a friend who could use some encouragement.
Plan and prepare a special family night for a number of families, complete with a lesson, games, and treats.
Make a meal for the missionaries.
Depending on the size of the river or stream and the local ordinances, raft, canoe, or tube down a river on a summer afternoon.
Visit a business that stays open at a time you can go (a newspaper, radio station, grocery store, and so on), and learn about that kind of work.
Go fly a kite. If you want to build it from scratch, get a book at the library or look up instructions on the internet.
Have a family history night. Learn how to do family history research or to write a personal history. A great resource is a local genealogy club or a family history center located at select Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints buildings (free).
Visit a friend in the hospital. Make get well cards from construction paper. Write original poems, funny verses, words of encouragement, etc.
