Family Day Ideas!

February 15, 2022 | Posted by: Kelleway Mortgage Architects

Family Day was first introduced in 1990 and is now a beloved celebration for several Canadian provinces, including: New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia!

Below are a few ways you can celebrate Family Day this year.

Cook a Meal Together

From making mini personalized pizzas to cooking up a brand-new recipe or baking something delicious, the kitchen is a great space for family time and making fun memories!

A few ideas to get your started.

Build a Blanket Fort

With the winter chill not quite lifted yet, building a blanket fort is a great way to spend the day with your family and watch movies, share laughs and enjoy some yummy snacks!

Try an Online Exercise Class

Want to enjoy your family and get a little exercise while you’re at it? Try an online workout class! Not only is this a fun activity you can do with your kids from home, but it is a great way to teach them about health and start setting up healthy habits for life.

Make a Puzzle Together

Nothing sparks chat, laughter and great memories like gathering around a table to work on a joint project. Lots of good lighting helps.

Do an In-Person OR Virtual Tour

Museums are a fun and different activity that families can do together whether in-person or online, as many museums now offer free virtual tours!

Why not visit Vancouver’s Museum of Anthropology or choose from one o these world-famous museums

ZOOM With The Famjam

While you might not be able to have the entire family together, in person, we live in a digital world, which allows us to connect with loved ones at flexible times - no matter how far away they are! Call up your parents or grandparents, do an activity over the computer or have a story time session, or simply take a moment to ‘check-in’.

Play An Online Game With Distant Family

Just because your cousins live miles away in three distant downs, doesn’t’ mean you can’t all play a great game together. Do check offerings in advance to be sure they’re age-appropriate and parts that needs to be downloaded are downloaded.

A few online game offerings.

No matter how you spend it, I hope you have a wonderful Family Day and I wish you and yours the best to come.
