Foolproof Family Day Fun

By: Rebecca Vukojevic

Introduced in Ontario in 2008, Family Day is a holiday that occurs on the third Monday of February, which is the 16th this year. This is a day designed to celebrate families, and to give them an opportunity to take part in fun activities. Just remember that it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you have fun with your family! If you’re looking for ideas or inspiration on what to do this year, look no further!

Get Active

Depending on where you live, and which recreation centre is closest, there are specially planned activities that you can take part in this Family Day. Ranging from skating to yoga and swimming to rock climbing, there is truly an activity for everyone! Visit oakville.ca for more information.

 

Watch a Movie

With the Oscars quickly approaching, what better time to watch a movie? It’s important to make sure everyone is having fun, so talk with your family and choose a movie each person will enjoy. Head on over to your local theatre and have a great time! Try to talk and share your thoughts afterwards as this can be a great bonding opportunity. Look forward to Josh’s Film Features on our blog for some great suggestions!

 

Hang out at Home

Not in the mood to go out anywhere? Have no fear because you can still have fun! Start the day off by making food together. Whether it be pancakes for breakfast (check out our recipe here), pizza for lunch, or some sundaes for dessert, you can make delicious food and enjoy yourselves at the same time! After you’re done scarfing down, you can play board games. Monopoly, Scrabble, and Sorry are three great options. Alternatively, you could play cards, sing karaoke, make crafts, or even build a snowman.
