Just like many families, maybe you and your family also like to plan for get-togethers and fun outings in the summers. If you are unable to find new and fun activities, let’s look at the few more suggestions for fun activities for your reunions:
- Photo swap
Ask all the family members to bring their old, historic, and memorable pictures to the reunion. The pictures can include people, places, or even of the previous reunions. Ask your guests to label the picture with the people’s names or the date of the photo. It would be the best thing to jog the memory of the people and to have fun.
- Tree wall chart
Create a family tree on the wall, or you can also try to make a generation wall, if possible. The wall chart helps the attendees to understand their place in the family. Not just that, the attendees can even add or correct any information.
- Memory T-shirts
If the reunion is with the extended family, then you must consider getting different colored T-shirts for each branch of the family. Add a theme or photo prints on the T-shirts to add more family history to the reunion. It will also help you identify who belongs to which part of the family.
- Family-based reenactments
Use stories of the family history or take up a character from your family to reenact or play skit on the day of your family reunion. Using your ancestral clothes or the clothes of the member you are enacting can add authenticity to the play.
- Revisit the past
If you are planning to have a reunion in the place where the family originated, you must use this time to share memories with the family. You can also use this reunion time to clean the ancestral area and research about family history.
- Display the memory lane
You must set up the table for all the attendants to enjoy the displayed treasure of the family history. The treasure can be anything like military medals, family bibles, old jewelry, historical photos, and whatnot.
- Plan a small interview of each member of the family
Interview each family member with specific questions and learn the views of different people about the same place or the event. It will help you to learn more about the extended family members.
- Hear out your family members
You can use this reunion time to hear funny and exciting stories about your family members. You can also shoot this session to reminisce about it during your next reunion party.
- Scavenger hunt
The hunt is for all the ages of the people – from kids to adults. It allows you to interact more with the rest of your family members. The clues of the hunt must be related to one or the other story from the family history. This way, the game would be interesting and knowledgeable to the young generation of your family.
Conclusion
Hopefully, now you have multiple things to do for your family reunions. Enjoy your family reunion!
