Planning a family trip has become difficult nowadays since most of us lead busy and fast-paced lives. Because of meetings, societal commitments, and important appointments, our family time suffers. But, it doesn’t have to be this way. If for some reason, you fail to go on a family vacation, you should try and make up for the same by spending some quality time together. For this, you can do some family-friendly activities that also feed into your sense of wanderlust. Here are some ideas!
Prepare an exotic meal: On a trip, one of your most precious experiences is tasting exotic and delicious food items. You can re-create this at home by preparing a meal inspired by a tropical destination together. For this, ask each family member to write what exotic dish they would want to have on a chit. Now put all the suggestions in a hat and randomly pick one. Then, assign each family member tasks like chopping, arranging the ingredients, measuring, and reading the recipe. And make sure that all you eat the fruits of your labour at the table together. This will be a fun experience and an opportunity to spend quality time.
Let the inner artist be free: Indulging in arts and crafts allows you to be creative and pass some time away from the screens. So, what better way to spend quality time together than to participate in a creative endeavour and tap into your inner artist? All of you can sit together and paint a picture of your favourite view from the last trip. Or you may create a collage or scrapbook of things you collected in the previous vacation.
Watch a foreign movie: Watching a movie together is a great way to spend some family time. You can choose a foreign film that offers a beautiful and heart-touching narration of the foreign culture. Enjoying the movie gives you valuable information on the foreign culture and a chance to be together. Some foreign film suggestions are ‘Mamma Mia’ for exploring Italy, ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ for going to Greenland, and ‘Rio’ for taking a trip to South America.
Camp in your backyard: If you are bored with your surroundings and routine, doing something fun and unusual with your family may bring you all close. Plan an escape from your home and go somewhere within the boundaries of the city for an overnight camping trip. Pitch a tent, pack a picnic, and set up for a night of stargazing. Re-visit your travels: Those families who go on trips together frequently will likely have folders full of memories. As a family activity, you can sort through the pictures and videos and select a few you did like to be printed. It might be a picture you took at the Delhi domestic airport terminalor one in which all the family members are dressed up in the regional attire of the place. Then, you can put them into frames or create a slideshow.
So, these are a few travel-inspired activities you can carry out together with the other members of your family. Doing these little acts will bring you close to each other.
