Every May 15th, we embrace the joy of family on International Family Day. It’s a perfect time to create unforgettable memories with your loved ones, and Lingokids is here to inspire fun and creative ways to spend this special day together!
7 fun ideas for family day
1. Construct a cozy fort
Whether you set up a family game or movie night, level it up by adding a fort to the mix!
Turn your living room into a whole new world by hanging up sheets and adding pillows and blankets to the floor to create a cozy fort. Inside the fort, you can play games, watch a movie, read a book, or eat a tasty treat!
Your little ones will love this change of scenery within their own home!
2. Design a family tree
Explore your roots together! Paint a family tree with your kids to help them learn more about their history.
It’s a great chance for them to learn more about their heritage while having fun with arts and crafts. Every member of the family can get involved and share their stories.
The finished product is something that can stay in the family for, well, generations!
3. Start a penpal tradition
Take some time to reflect on the importance of family. Come together and write letters to your loved ones—whether you’ve seen them recently or not.
You could even include photos to share with them. If your little one isn’t old enough to write yet, you can encourage them to paint a picture to be included in the letter!
4. Cook a family feast
Share the love through food by preparing a meal together. It’s a well-known fact that food can bring people together—and we couldn’t agree more. From appetizers to desserts, cooking is a fantastic way to bond and indulge in tasty treats.
- Apple Rings – Slip on an apron and enjoy creating this delicious and creative recipe!
- Egg Recipes– Learn about how people from all around the world take their eggs. Enjoy making “huevos rancheros” together. Your little one will be so proud of the dish they create with you!
- Fancy Mashed Potatoes – Any way to make potatoes is a good way! Have fun dancing “the mashed potato” move together as you prepare this recipe.
5. Organize a picnic adventure
Pack up your favorite snacks and head to the local park for a relaxing day outdoors.
Family can mean so much more than the people you’re related to—it can include your closest friends, neighbors, and many more. Spread a picnic blanket with family and friends by joining forces over sandwiches and a frisbee game.
6. Musical memories
Create a family playlist of your favorite tunes to sing and dance to throughout the day. Does have family have any signature dance moves? If not, now is the perfect time for a dance off!
7. Dive into Podcasts
Choose family-friendly podcasts and enjoy stories that spark imagination and discussion on topics like patience and understanding.
We’d love to see how you celebrate International Family Day! Share your most memorable moments with us on social media and let the community know how your family celebrates.
