Spending time together as a family in leisure activities is greatly associated with emotional bonding within the family. The core leisure activities such as playing board games, yard games, gardening and watching T.V are related to the cohesion of the family. Here are some fun activities to consider as a family when you have free time at home.

Volunteer Work Together

Consider this as quality time squared- you not only get to enjoy time with the kids, but they also give them an opportunity to learn the joy of helping others in the community. When deciding on an activity to do, take into consideration the things your kids love to do.

Day Camp-Out in the Backyard

Camping does not necessarily mean going to the forest. You can turn your backyard into a campsite. It is a great and convenient place where you can bond as a family while utilizing that free time. Include all the things you would normally find at a campsite, including flashlights, sleeping bags and a tent.

Plant Something

From trees to cherry tomatoes, zucchini and bush beans, you can plant a lot as a family in your free time. This is not only fun, but also a great time to improve the look of your outdoor space and the environment as a whole.
