Looking for some fun things to do with your grandparents this summer? We’ve rounded up a few of the best activities that you can enjoy while creating new memories and spending quality time together.
Card Games
Grandparents are always pros at a multitude of card games. And they’re often the best ones to teach you. Games like UNO, Old Maid, Bridge or even Go Fish are excellent options – you can even teach them a new game or two.
Share Old Photos and Stories
Want to hear a great story? Your grandparents likely have many from back in the day. And sometimes there’s nothing better than curling up on a rainy day to go through old photos and listen to them recall their favourite memories.
Go For A Stroll Together
Get your grandparents outside to relish in the sunshine and fresh air. Take a leisurely stroll through the park, sit by the water, grab an ice cream, and enjoy some time spent in nature together.
Work In The Garden
If your grandparents love to garden, planting a flower bed or tending to the garden is a fun way to get in some light exercise while learning a few things. The best part is you can eventually watch the fruits of your labour blossom as the garden grows.
Visit a Flea Market
If there are local flea markets or even garage sales happening in your area, take your grandparents out to browse through them to see what kind of treasures they can find. You never know what you’ll end up with!
Visit Local Farmer’s Markets
If flea markets aren’t an appealing option, how about farmer’s markets? Help them pick up some fresh produce and spend some time meandering through all of the stalls, taste testing fresh ready-made treats, and in some cases, you can enjoy live music too. It’s always a lively and exciting atmosphere, even if you don’t end up buying anything.
Learn Their Favourite Recipes
Who cooks better than grandma? There’s always something about those special recipes that you just can’t get anywhere else. So why not dedicate some time to learning some of those staple recipes right from the source? Grab the ingredients you need at the farmer’s market and then head home to learn how to make those incredible dishes so that you can carry on the tradition. Plus, your grandparents will be over the moon when you ask them to teach you.
