Hi everyone, It can be hard to do anything with family that does not involve screens or shopping so here are some ideas. 

1. Backyard Olympics: Transform your green space into a hilarious arena! Organize sack races, water balloon toss, hula hoop relays, and even a cardboard box regatta in the sprinkler. Award silly prizes and crown the ultimate Backyard Champion!

2. DIY Escape Room: Channel your inner detective and create a themed escape room in your own home. Hide clues, solve puzzles, and work together against the clock to "escape" the living room (or basement, or attic – get creative!).

3. Community Scavenger Hunt: Grab a list of quirky items to find around your town or neighborhood – a vintage postcard, a four-leaf clover, a friendly dog with a bandana. Turn it into a photo scavenger hunt and capture the silliness along the way!

4. Fort Building Extravaganza: Gather blankets, pillows, chairs, and whatever else sparks your imagination. Build the ultimate indoor fort, complete with fairy lights, secret tunnels, and maybe even a pizza delivery portal. Cozy up inside and tell stories, play games, or just enjoy the feeling of your own cozy kingdom.

Remember, the best family activities are often the simplest. The key is to be present, playful, and open to whatever crazy adventures unfold. So ditch the screens, gather your crew, and get ready for some unforgettable family fun!

Something that works really well during holidays and stuff (get some snacks, sit down and spend some time together): different types of question related games. Like this or that, either/or, scenario's or other conversation questions that get people to share experiences, favorites and other stuff like that. And get creative with the questions by turning them around or following up on them. Also more interactive games like heads-up or who's more likely to (in different forms, like together or vs mode). 💬

On vacations during the evenings: rummikub 🎲

When media can be involved: trivia and music quizzes for sure! 🎵
