Any suggestions for family bonding time??

MommySherrie:
Good idea...For the weekends, I would try to make the entire family do some spring cleaning so that they can learn some basic life skills.
- Baking: Teach them how to measure, time, proper mixing technique, temperature etc.
- Mopping: Teach them what causes the floor to be sticky, how to remove odour and also teach them how to be hard working and keen on details (I will make them push the sofa to a side and mop the underneath or pay attention to narrow corners and not miss it or pick up hairs)
- Cooking: The different utensils in the kitchen and how to protect themselves (e.g. water would cause the oil to splatter). . .
Thank goodness, they found it enjoyable! :boogie:
Will try out June hols -

Play Xbox Kinect together. It's fun and if you play Kinect Sports the whole family get a good physical workout.Hey there! Christy here! Quite new here, and I've been wanting to do something really unique for family bonding time during the weekends. Any suggestions for any kind of activities that my husband, two kids and I could do? Thanks for all your help!
:thankyou: :salute: -
I read all the wonderful things you guys do with your family and I am so envious.
When my kids were younger, we used to do a lot of outdoors. Trekking, catching lobster at McRitchie rock pools, cycling, sandcastle building, etc.
Every weekend my children will be at the soccer field in their respective teams playing what 'looks like soccer'. Basically, you see 12 little ones moving to wherever the football goes like a herd of elephants, no passing
On rainy days, they have a splashing good time in the muddy water, the shelter was really small so all the parents and kids squeezed together just watching and waiting out the heavy rain. While the kids are having training, the fathers also have a game of soccer. It's amazing how children bond the adults together. Those were wonderful memories.
Now they are in Secondary Schools, and my goodness, what has happen to family time together :? There is so much school work and projects and activities. Sigh...
I guess your children must be still very young. Enjoy your time together and make wonderful memories for now for the future :rahrah: -

museums are good for bonding and can also give a worthwhile experience
went to singapore art museum with friends and the exhibits were very interesting, especially the medium at large exhibiton -
Engaging all family members in some form of physical exercise/sports is one avenue that you can consider!
Some suggested avenues can be cycling, swimming, jogging, badminton, hiking etc. Engaging in such activities as a medium to family bonding encourages the family members to break out of their comfort zone and exposes the family to different experiences. At the same time, it builds physical resilience - be it for the young or the old.
Education in sports is evolving to cater to the needs of many new age parents where parents are keen to play an active role in their child’s physical endeavors. Many sports classes such as swimming and tennis offers inclusive learning for both parents and their children! -
gardens at the bay! really relaxing there, it’s awesome
