With the collision of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, I admit my Thanksgiving Table Decor is not always Martha Stewart quality. As my girls aged, however, they have involved themselves in the fall decorations and once I surrendered the dinner table, I let them go to work – you guys it looked amazing! They used some of our Thanksgiving decorations, fall fruits and went outside and pulled in greenery from the yard.  The last minute table decor with rustic greenery, fruit, china, and crystal blended so well together.

I am encouraging you to look over these Easy Thanksgiving Decorations for the Table.

Family activities solidify healthy family relationships. As you begin to gather your fall family bucket list this season, be sure to add these Family Traditions for Fall.

While your kids are in the home, it is important to create Family Traditions. This can be done with the change of seasons and the change of activities available in one’s area. Family traditions are a set of activities you repeat within a family. Tradition make each family unique as they are experiences that not every family will have. When you combine family traditions, you create your own unique family blueprint.

As the temperatures drop and the leaves begin to turn, try some of these fall family activities. They can be done alone, with your immediate family, or you can incorporate a few of these fall ideas with the company of others like at a Friendsgiving Gathering.

Family Traditions for Fall

Enjoy these family traditions, important for creating family memories. As you establish more family memories, what the bond of relationships grow stronger. These fall family traditions are sure to new “notches” in your kids memory bank.

Fall Family Bucket List

One way to look organized to a season is with Family Bucket Lists. Bucket lists allow kids to look forward to unique family activities and keep parents organized for fitting in all the fall activities they can.

Fall Bucket List Ideas Printable PDF

Fall Bucket List Ideas:

  • Collect Leaves to Create Nature Art

  • Make a Fall Wreath

  • Rake & Jump in a Pile of Leaves

  • Make S’mores

  • Visit a Corn Maze

  • and more Fall Bucket List Ideas

Visit a Pumpkin Patch

For the kids that love to be hands on, pumpkin patches are traditionally set up for guests to walk around and pick up their own pumpkins. They can be found in cities (perhaps in a church parking lot) or in the country, visit a pumpkin farm. If you are able to get a a “real” pumpkin patch, it create a learning environment for your kids to see pumpkins are not always found on the shelf but first begin from growing on a vine.

Go to a Fall Festival

Our favorite fall festival is Cox Farms, year after year. Look for an event that has a corn maze, hayride, burlap slides, petting farms and more. It might be a day trip away from the city, but doing something out of the norm creates the most vivid memories.

Go Apple Picking

One of our favorite things to do is to go apple picking.  In late August, September and early October, there’s no better way to take in the beautiful time of year than an afternoon spent in the apple orchard of a little farm, away from the hustle and bustle of the produce aisle in the supermarket. The fall adventure makes for some amazing photos!

Apple Baking Day

Apples certainly make for great healthy snacks all by themselves, however, fall is the time to begin baking. If you find yourself with a surplus of apples, bake as much as you can and consider gifting the extra baked goods to neighbors, teachers, friends and more.  Pair your apple recipes with this adorable Thankful for You Gift Tag for fall.

Carve a Pumpkin

Carving a pumpkin is the All-American fall traditions. It is best done at the end of October so the pumpkin does not rot before Halloween. Enjoy over 700+ Free Pumpkin Templates for carving and be sure to follow this Pumpkin Hack to keep your carved pumpkin from getting rotten. You can also go outside the traditional norm of carving and try these no-carve pumpkin ideas.

Play Fall Games

Host a game day. This can be a larger event where you invite friends and family or it can be a family game night where you create the most intimate memories among your immediate family. The best thing about fall game parties, is you can keep the house clean and free of germs choosing to host outside.

Fall Games to Play

  • Minute to Win It Games
  • Outdoor Games
  • Indoor Games
  • Camping Games
  • Friendsgiving Thanksgiving Games
  • Adult Party Games
  • Family Game Night Bucket List

Boo Your Neighbors

Get your neighbors involved with a friendly game of boo-ing. Boo your neighbors by going to their front door. Dropping a treat or bag of candy and running just after ringing the doorbell. The goal is to continue to fall tradition until all of the neighborhood is booed. Download Free You’ve Been Booed Printables.

Thanksgiving Tree

One of the best things to do every fall is a taking a gratitude challenge. This can be done through a nightly dinner conversation in a 30-Day Gratitude Challenge or you can create a Thanksgiving tree. Put a few dry branches in a vase and have everyone add hanging leaves (made from construction paper) with messages of thanks.

Cook with Pumpkin

When the first leave falls, the flavors of pumpkin are everywhere .Teach your kids to enjoy the mixture of cinnamon and squash with pumpkin recipes. You can create your own pumpkin recipes from scratch or bake easy pumpkin recipes with these canned pumpkin recipes -pumpkin recipes form breakfast to dessert and everything in between

Volunteer

In a season of giving thanks, be sure to also give back. Paying it forward is as much a gift for someone else as it is for you. Find a service project you can commit to for the season such as creating fall turkey kits or homeless kits.  Volunteering provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Plus, intrinsically, it gives to you just as much as it gives back to someone else!

Decorate for Fall

Pull at your fall decorations or get to the Dollar Tree and buy some new ones. There are many low cost Fall Décor Ideas for decorating the home. Don’t’ forget your child to decorate their little corner of the home, their bedroom.

Have a Bonfire Night

Gather some firewood and get ready to have a bonfire. A family bonfire can take place on an overnight camping trip or in your own backyard. Try different and unique S’mores recipes as well as these campfire cones – your kids will love them and their hands will be free of sticky marshmallows.

Fall Foliage Drive

As the leaves begin to turn, take a Scenic Drive. This can be a day trip or a weekend trip to the mountains. Our family has rented a cabin in a state park and visited caves, had picnics and walked a few trails. Keep in mind the colors of the leaves in the mountains with change a lot faster than most cities. You can keep track of the Fall Foliage Report with Weather.gov.

More Yearly Family Traditions

Family activities can go beyond the season of fall. Look at these year-round Family Traditions. Pin to Pinterest.

Thanksgiving Gift Ideas for Teachers with Printables

November comes with a to-do lists that stretch for miles and very few school days to accomplish all those tasks. Show your teachers how much you appreciate them this school year with these Thanksgiving Gift Ideas.

How do I thank a teacher for Thanksgiving?

You might ask yourself, but what do you give for Thanksgiving gifts? It doesn’t have to be through much. Although Thanksgiving isn’t a typical gift-giving occasion, you can show your gratitude and appreciation to the teacher by gifting them some of these creative (and frugal) gestures. From pies in a jar, to succulents, and apple cider gift baskets.

One way to go about giving these adorable Thanksgiving gifts is through Thankful Thursdays. Gift something small each Thursday in the month of November. Typically there are three Thursdays (not including Thanksgiving) so this could include three small gifts at $2 – $5 each. It doesn’t add up to rob your wallet.

Fall Bucket List

Fall Bucket List

I feel like the fall season creates some of the best family memories. Seriously, if I go over all our family traditions and reflect on events that have created impressions in our home, the majority took place between September and December.

Fall is our favorite season. It provides a lot of opportunity to settle in a rhythm, embrace the outdoors, and celebrate a holiday. Some of our favorite fall activities are visiting Cox Farms Fall Festival, visiting an apple orchard to go apple picking, going to the mountains to see the leaves change colors, eating everything pumpkin and having our first fireplace fire! Nothing as sweet as a wood burning fire sipping homemade apple cider.

I wanted to put together, some of four fall family fun ideas for you to enjoy with your family. You can also take the blank checklist and fill in your own family activities & traditions for fall.

This is the perfect time to grab your pumpkin spiced latte, visit an authentic pumpkin patch, and enjoy this list of fall family fun!
