Play backyard games
Take game night into the great outdoors—or at least the great backyard—and create some one-of-a-kind memories with Dad. Water balloons, bocce ball, frisbee, catch or his favorite board game—it’s all on the agenda! Whatever activities Dad digs, adapt them to the backyard for some extra special memories.
Treasure hunt
Kids love a good treasure hunt, and with a little creativity Dad will too. Try incorporating some of his favorite items or have the hunt conclude with a special gift or meal. With the whole family involved, X is sure to mark the spot of an unforgettable Father’s Day.
Cookout
The grill has long been many fathers’ favorite backyard companion. Try a new recipe or make a family favorite dish. Is Dad usually wearing the apron? Let him kick up his feet while the family takes a turn at the grill. Everyone has their own tastes, but family time is always a little better grilled.
Campout
Even if Dad isn’t an outdoorsman by nature (get it?), a night under the stars with all the amenities of home is a great way to spend some quality time—and comfort time—outdoors. Mix in some grill-roasted s’mores for a sweet touch.
Alone time
Whether it’s a power nap in the hammock, or a few uninterrupted minutes to enjoy the beverage of his choice, a little quiet time is always appreciated. It may not be flashy, or make for a great social media post, but a little peace and quiet in the backyard is a welcome gift on any Father’s Day.
