Try these family ideas for fun family activities that will make lasting memories for you and your grandchildren.

  1. Go out to breakfast or lunch occasionally. (Once a year, we have dessert for lunch.)
  2. Have family home activities such as tea parties. Use good china if you have it. 
  3. Dig for worms and go fishing. 
  4. Bake cookies using an old family recipe. 
  5. Plant a fairy garden. 
  6. Talk about the old days. (They find this awesome because it’s history.)
  7. Write poems and stories. 
  8. Make and fly paper airplanes.
