5 activities for an entertaining 4th of July

In the mood for a celebration? Always! And Independence Day is almost here, so let’s get ready for a day full of joy and happy thoughts for the future. Here are five family activities for an entertaining 4th of July.

🧺 Go for a Family Picnic

Grab that basket and head for the backyard. This is the best time of year to enjoy an outdoor meal with your family. You can also have a red, white, and blue barbeque, with lots of decorations, and your favorite patriotic dishes to enjoy all day long.

🚴 Bike ride in the neighbourhood

How about having your very own private parade? You can decorate your bikes with flags, streamers, and ribbons, and set off together for a few casual laps around the block. The ride will help everyone work up an appetite before that barbeque is ready.

⛺ Camping in the backyard

Ever tried it? It’s like they say, sleeping in a tent is a million-star experience…with a million-star view. If you add some fireworks, you’ll make it a night to remember, without even leaving your home.

🎲 Have a game night

Looking for something that’s fun for the whole family? Organize a game night with some of the best board games — and if you want to make it on theme with the holiday, try out some special patriotic games (like 4th of July bingo or some American-themed trivia).

🗽 Visit a national monument

What better way to celebrate our country than to immerse yourself in its history? The Washington Monument on the Reflecting Pool has been the background for some of America’s most historic events, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

How will you keep in touch with your extended family? By calling them, of course. You’ll cope better with the distance between you, and you can talk all you want about this year’s celebration. Happy 4th of July!
