Father’s Day is fast approaching, so it’s time for kids to
start planning what to do with their dads! Though it is fairly standard to give
a gift, children should be encouraged to do more than that! There’s tons of
things you can do on Father’s Day to make dads feel special. But don’t fret if
you need ideas, because we’re here to help. Offer these tips to students to
help them get creative with the holiday.
Many dads enjoy cooking out, especially since Father’s Day
falls in June, when the weather is heating up and it’s the perfect time to be
outdoors. Encourage students to participate. They can watch and learn about
grilling food. They can offer to help with more simple tasks, such as buttering
corn on the cob. They can set the table for the family. The help is sure to be
greatly appreciated.
Summer is also a season for sporting events, and Sundays are
big days for games. Students could offer to watch a game with their dads. They
can ask questions to learn more about his team, his favorite players, and more.
Dads will love talking about it, especially to their children who are not sport
inclined.
It’s a stereotype that dads enjoy gold for a reason.
Students can offer to go golfing, whether it is to the driving range or for a
round of mini golf. The offer will be appreciated.
Fishing is another classic Father’s Day activity. If you
live anywhere near water, it can be a fun bonding experience for children and
their dads. This pastime is relaxing, allowing time to chat, and exciting, when
someone is attempting to make a catch.
Encourage students to find out what their dad’s favorite
meal is, and have them cook it! Whether it’s making much of it on their own or
just having several small tasks in the process, their dads are sure to
appreciate it.
Above all, students should ask about his interests and use
those to plan a fun activity. Does he enjoy art? Maybe it’s time for a trip to
the museum, or to paint together. Interested in history? Watch a documentary
together. Students who attempt to find an activity that is personal will leave
their dads touched.
Make sure you encourage students to do something special to
show all the dads out there how important they are!
