Saturdays are Family Day in the Bledsoe household. Our Saturday’s usually go one of two ways. Either we have a ton of things to do, or we have nothing going on at all. For those days that we have nothing planned, it helps to have some ideas so we can enjoy our time together.
Your family’s Saturdays may be similar. If so, I have just what you need. I’ve created a list of 101 Family Activities that you can do on Saturday, Sunday, or any day of the week for that matter.
The list is especially good for those days you have nothing planned, and just do not know what to do. Just pick something from the list, and enjoy! All activities are intended for every member of the family to participate.
