5 Simple Fall Activities for Families
Updated: Aug. 06, 2019Discover some fun fall activities the whole family will enjoy, even as the weather cools down this season.
Fall Activities Idea #1: Go for a Walk
Just because the weather is a little cooler in fall, doesn’t mean it’s time to hibernate. In fact, there are a bunch of great fall activities. For starters, dress in layers so you and your family can enjoy a walk outdoors even in the evening, after dinner.
Fall Activities Idea #2: Rake the Leaves
Raking the leaves can be a pretty boring chore to do when you’re doing it alone. Make the most of your time together by getting the whole family involved. Kids love to play in the leaves and there’s no better way to enjoy physical activity than while spending time with your loved ones.
Fall Activities Idea #3: Play a Sport in the Park
When the sun is beaming down on you in July, it can be difficult to play sports for hours. But in fall, when the weather is slightly cooler, you can play a sport like soccer or lacrosse without being uncomfortably warm. Get the whole family together for a game in the park, and not only will you all be working out but you’ll be spending quality time together, too.
Fall Activities Idea #4: Collect Leaves for Arts and Crafts Projects
Walk around the neighbourhood with the children in search of interesting fallen leaves. Then, paste them into a scrapbook or poster board for hours of fun together both outdoors and indoors.
Fall Activities Idea #5: Create a Scavenger Hunt
The kids may not be excited to go outdoors when the temperature drops but a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt will motivate them. Hide some of their favourite treats around the backyard or local park and, as a family, you can all search for the items. Whoever finds a treat, gets to keep it. This type of activity guarantees lots of exercise and plenty of laughs together.
