1. Picnic

Whenever the weather is nice, the entire family can enjoy a picnic outdoors! Let everyone help out with your cookout. Preschool kids can help create small sandwiches, teens can do barbecue, and mom can whip some sumptuous meal for the entire family. Once lunch is over, the family can play some quick hide and seek, run in the grass, play tag, or simply lay on the grass.

2. Ride a bike together

Biking is a fun activity the whole family can partake. If the small kids are able to ride their own bikes, let them be. Stop once in a while, have snacks on the grass, pick beautiful flowers, enjoy the sceneries, or collect some peculiar stones, etc.

3. Go to the local playground

This is a perfect activity if you have toddlers around. It enables them to fun and explore around. The playground is another great place to bike together. You can always bring the car with you, take some toys or a ball and play with the whole gang!

4. Swim at the beach

For those who live in close proximity to the local beaches, you can always head there and swim, lounge, have a barbecue, and simply feel the - sea, sun, and sand! Together with your family, you can watch the tide, play together, create sandcastles, and collect all the beautiful stones and shells that are washed away to the shore. You can bring a pail and shovel with you, collect the stones and shells for a fun-filled arts and crafts activity at home.

5. Go hunting and camping

The great outdoors is the perfect place for hunting. If you have bigger kids, you can bring them along for some camping and hunting experience. Hiking into the woods and hunting for your food is an exciting outdoor activity that the whole family won't want to miss. Let them explore, have a sense of adventure, feel the rush of your first hunt, and commune with nature.
