A Day to Remember
11 Activities to Make Father's Day Special
By Armin Brott
Father's Day is a unique opportunity for dads and kids to step outside the norm, learn a bit more about each other and have some fun in the process. Here is a list of activities for fathers to do with their sons and daughters on Father's Day:
1. Switch roles with them. Let them be the dad and you the kid.
2. Tell them a story, but not one from a book. Make something up or tell them a few anecdotes from your childhood – especially ones where you got into trouble.
3. Do something important in the community. Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Help Habitat for Humanity build a house. Or, if the kids are older, do some work for a cause they support.
4. Make a movie of the day. If you don't have a movie camera, take a few rolls of regular film, get them developed at a one-hour photo place and make a scrapbook.
5. Pretend you like the tie they got you and wear it all day. <
