Even an ordinary weekend can be turned into an exciting adventure for children, you just have to show your imagination. We offer you 10 of the most original ideas for a joint weekend.
Let's go camping
An outing is the best option for a family weekend. You can go to the cottage, have a picnic in the park closest to the house, and it’s better to go on a real hiking trip! Children will be thrilled. If you travel far, then most of the journey can be reached by car or train, and only the second part of the road can be walked on foot making halts. Do not forget to take the obligatory components of this trip: a map, a compass - well, make a bonfire in the halt, make camp soup, and also boil tea on the fire.
Courses of little cooks
Children are so fond of helping adults, prepare dinner with them for the whole family. Choose the most festive recipes, and if the children are older, then try to cook national specialties. It is also an excellent occasion to tell kids about the features of foreign cultures in a playful way. Let the children not only peel the potatoes, but also set the table with festive dishes, Of course, under your supervision.
Building an impregnable fortress
Your children must have built houses and fortresses from pillows, chairs and blankets more than once? Become the foreman erect for kids the most impregnable fortress or a cozy house from an ordinary blanket. Let it be unprepossessing outside, the main thing is that on quiet evenings you can climb there with the children and tell them mysterious stories or read your favorite tales.
Motor! We shoot a family movie
Tell the children that today you will make a real film and the main role will be mom, mom and children - there will be no limit to the joys of the kids. You can beat the script of a famous fairy tale, and even easier - make a movie about one day in the life of your family. Write the real script together, distribute the roles, sew the costumes and start shooting. Let the children feel that this is not a game! Such a family day off not only teaches the kids to work in a team, but also gives them chanas to show their acting abilities. Mount the video on your computer, add beautiful music and save the movie as a reminder of one of your happy weekends.
Holiday every weekend!
Children love holidays so much, but not only their birthday can please them. To please them, you don’t have to wait for a special occasion, let the holiday happen on a regular weekend (almost every day in the calendar is marked by some holiday or historical date). Is today Cosmonautics Day, a world builder holiday, or an animal protection day? An excellent occasion to tell children about the traditions of this day, about a new profession or about an unusual rare animal. And to consolidate the received titles, go with the whole family to the zoo, planetarium or museum. If the weekend coincided with one of the traditional Russian holidays, for example, Shrovetide, go on public festivities.After that, bake pancakes together or watch a thematic film.
School repair
Children are very fond of all kinds of rearrangements or repairs. It’s so interesting: to hammer nails with dad, paint a fence or choose a place for new shelves. Be creative in your everyday task - draw a plan, create your own home decoration for your home. If you are not ready for such global changes as furniture relocation, then simply buy new curtains in the nursery, let the children choose new colorful pillows and blankets for themselves. Such an occupation will not only unite the whole family, but also allow you to transform your home in a playful way.
Photoshoot for the whole family
We have long dreamed of beautiful professional family photographs, then feel free to go to a real photo shoot. Do not save, choose the best photographer and a beautiful studio with an original interior. Let the new pictures be a reflection of your family happiness, because children grow so fast, manage to capture their first smiles or steps. If there is no opportunity to go to a photo shoot, don’t be sad, arrange it at home! Let the children work with you on the shooting theme: a pirate ship or a princess castle? Create decorations from improvised means, and let someone from relatives or friends act as a photographer. Print pictures and decorate the whole house with family portraits.
Create a home garden
We have long dreamed of our own small greenhouse on the balcony, let the children be the main assistants. Buy new pots together, albeit the simplest ones, a child’s imagination will help turn them into real designer interior decorations. Let the kids paint the pots with acrylics or decorate them using a simple decoupage technique. Decorate your finished compositions with pebbles or shells that you brought from your vacation. Let fancy little animals or a family of small ceramic gnomes settle in your miniature garden.
Have an evening of board games
Board games are not only familiar lotto and monopoly! You will be surprised how great is the selection of games for every taste and age. Create a small library of your favorite games at home, and the question of what to do in your free time with the whole family will be decided by itself. By the way, there are such games in many cafes! In addition, in many cities «game libraries’ are organized - clubs where people who are passionate about board games gather. They will be happy to answer your questions, teach you how to play and help you make your choice. We also read: board games for the child: interesting and useful
Sports and Health Day
You can arrange a day of health and sport for the whole family. Start the day off with universal recharging to energetic music, and let the children act as a coach, let them lead the process. After lunch, jog in the park or ride a bike.. In the evening, organize a spa at home, let mom and daughter make each other moisturizing masks of fresh cucumber, and dad and son will hold a massage workshop.
Going to the cinema or cafe, going for a drive on a hill or baking a holiday cake together - for children, in fact, it is not so important what exactly you will do on the weekend. They will even appreciate an ordinary walk, the main thing is that parents devote themselves to the kids and do not remember about work.

Departure to nature is not so usual and not usual, but rather the usual weekend. But if you spend the night in the summer in a big company, where there will be a lot of kids, in tents, a bonfire, a lake, swimming in a boat and fishing, yes, yes, it will be happy for children, by the way, you can also have a sports day or a competition there. But the kids love to build an impregnable fortress, mine do it all the time, they run in, jump in and fall asleep in it.
And our whole family loves to ride bicycles. When the kids (we have two) were still small for their bikes, we drove them on special chairs, which are mounted even on the mountaineers. You fasten your little ones with belts to chairs and out of town. My wife and I have a good outdoor activity and the kids are delighted.
