35 Fun Things to Do at Home as a Family
Posted by Erica Jabali
Making memories as a family doesn't have to be expensive or require a bunch of planning. Here are 35 fun things you can do at home as a family to bond, laugh, work together and create memories your kids will talk about for years. Come back to this list whenever you're spending the day at home and need fresh ideas.
Start in the Kitchen
- Cooking Contest - Choose different recipes and split the family into groups. Each group makes one of the recipes. Then, as you all enjoy your delicious dishes, you might even talk about the pros and cons of each dish.
- Super Popcorn Night - Why just settle for popcorn, when you can have a super popcorn movie night? Whip up some regular popcorn and then get out all the fixings. Let each person make up the popcorn bowl of their dreams. Use what you have on hand. Leftover candy? Chop it up and put it out as an option. Melt some chocolate for drizzle. For your buttery and salty lovers, get out some melted butter, crushed potato chips and more. See what popcorn creation each member of the family comes up with and enjoy.
- Super Pizza - This one may take a little preparation or grocery shopping. Simply grab some English Muffins or other bread base and then all the fixings. Pizza sauce, olives, selection of protein, vegetables, maybe a white sauce and more. Everyone gets to make their own mini pizzas. Most mini pizzas can bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
- Super Nachos - Everyone loves nachos. Make your favorite nacho cheese or dairy-free cheese base, a big bag of chips and make a bunch of your favorite toppings. Let everyone make their own perfect plate of nachos before putting on your favorite movie, getting out your favorite board game, or other activity.
