June 7, 2021 by administrator Filed Under: Facebook, Holiday, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

This 4th of July bucket list printable is a great family activity to work on during the July 4th weekend, or make it a full week project!

July 4th is a very celebrated holiday for many Americans. It’s a national holiday and most people have the day off from work to enjoy time with family.

It’s a time to get together and honor our country’s independence. Many families already do this by enjoying very American things like hosting BBQs, pool parties, baseball games, or fireworks displays.

4th of July Bucket List Printable

A new way your family can work together to honor our nation’s birthday is with this bucket list! With this activity, everyone works together to complete the tasks on the printable. These can be done over the July 4th weekend or you can make it into a full week.

Some of the tasks you’ll complete on the 4th of July Bucket List include:

Attend a BBQ
Take a hike
Eat snow cones
Make a red, white, and blue recipe (like our Firecracker Cookies)
Watch a parade
Light sparklers at night
Go to the lake
Have a water balloon fight
Eat watermelon

Many of these activities are likely things your family enjoys doing during the hot summer days already. I know we go swimming a lot and a water balloon fight is always a great way to cool off too. Why not turn these activities into a fun challenge?!

The printable also has some blank lines so you can fill in your own activities you want to do in order to honor America’s independence. Maybe something to do with learning more about the Declaration of Independence, perhaps? Get creative, and add tasks that your family has never done before! It’s great to see what new ways of celebrating you can come up with.

Ready to create memorable Easter traditions with large or small groups? These Egg-cellent Easter Games can be paired with Easter egg hunts, Easter parties and gatherings, or used as a family minute to win it challenge.

Eggcellent Easter Games

Does Easter ever free like a neglected holiday to you? As a Christian, Easter is truly the most important holiday. It feels as though there is little build-up to the actual day and very little more than a visit to the church and an Easter Egg Hunt.

What do you do on Easter?

Beyond the traditional Easter egg hunt and visit to the church, consider a new Easter Tradition with Easter games. If you wish to turn Easter into a greater celebration, take a look at these Easter Games for Adults, Kids, Families, Friends, Small Groups, and Large Gatherings. It fits a small family of three and a large crowd of dozens.

The year Easter was canceled (the year we must not name), we decide to twist up the traditional Easter ideas. Instead of attending a large Easter Egg Hunt at Church, we had our own small family Easter Egg hunt. My older kids hid Easter Eggs for the younger kids and after finding our eggs, everyone filled their stomachs with jelly beans and chocolate (gross – does that idea of that make anyone else sick?)

Well, it didn’t make my kids sick. Instead, it made all five kids excitable on a lot of sugar. We created a new Easter Family tradition by playing outdoor Easter games. It was a beautiful day and I was all about running off steam and enjoying the beautiful blue sky day.

What are some fun Easter games?

This list of Easter game ideas includes Traditional Easter Games. What are traditional Easter games? Some examples of traditional games include the law Easter Egg Roll. Read more about that below but basically try to roll a raw egg across a finish line with your nose or a spoon. You also could turn a ball toss into a carrot toss or play pin the tail on the bunny (similar to pin the tail on the donkey game.)

We also have examples of Unique Easter Games like Easter bowling lined with brightly colored pool noodles and adorable bunny bowling pins.
