If the timer goes off while they are holding the phone, their funny face gets snapped and they are either out of the game or have to complete a challenge that is decided by the other participants.
Buy a stack of folding paper and a book on how to fold paper airplanes and let the kids and adults have at it. At the end of the day, let everyone get a chance to see how far their paper airplane flies. The winner has folded the paper plane that flies the furthest. Fill plastic bottles with water and a dash of food coloring and set them up on the lawn to be bowled over. Split the family up into teams and run fun relay races.
Relays are when one team member has to finish a task before another can begin the same task. The winner is the team that completes the tasks first. Egg races, sack races, or pie-eating contests can all be done in relays. Set up your own course with a range of different holes. The winner is the person or team that finishes first. These clues can be personalized to allow family members to learn more about one another.
After the reunion, family members are probably going to contact you to thank you for your efforts in planning the event. Take this time to conduct a short survey of the games and activities that they enjoyed the most or other favorite parts of the event.
This will help you plan even more successful reunions in the future and even turn one or two of the activities into a family tradition. Forming traditions are a great way to forge bonds and connections between family members that will last way into the future.
The right planning will result in an event that is so much more than a reunion and creates lasting memories to share for years to come. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
