Planning a Special Father’s Day

Did you know the first Father’s Day was celebrated in 1908? Father’s Day was recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1956 and finally declared as a permanent national observance on the third Sunday of June by Richard Nixon in 1972.

Have you started planning for Father’s Day? What makes for a perfect day for the Father in your life? Your favorite Dad probably isn’t concerned about what you actually do on Father’s Day as long as he’s with his favorite people- you and the family!

But to get started with planning, you may want to think about what he enjoys, what makes for an enjoyable day for the Dad in your family. Does he love to grill, go fishing/hunting, or watching sports on TV? Is he a golfer? Does he enjoy playing board games or a hand of cards? Perhaps he likes to play games on a gaming console?

Would he like to spend part of the day with his dad? Would he like to have the night alone with you? Is there a movie that he’s wanted to see? What are his favorite foods?

Look for my next post for some ideas for Father’s Day. In the mean time begin thinking about the answers to some of these questions. What other questions would be good to think about on Father’s Day?

Father’s Day: Are You Game?

It’s Father’s Day and you want to spend time with your Dad. You might have to learn something new but, if your father enjoys playing games, here are a few ideas.

How about a round of golf? A lot of dads love the game of golf. Check with your local golf course to check if kids can play along with the adults. If not, then maybe putt-putt would be an alternative.

Is Dad a football, baseball, or basketball fan? Take some time to toss around the pigskin, play catch or shoot some hoops. You’ll be exercising and connecting with each other.

If you’re grilling out for Father’s Day, horseshoe pitching could be the ticket for your dad. Find some horsehoes, set up the pit, and let the competition begin. Around since the second century, this game is great for exercise, recreation and sport.

Does dad play chess, checkers, or even Monopoly? If he does, then playing board games is another possibility. Ask him, he might welcome a board game and time spent with you.

Regardless of their age some dads enjoy video games. You can play great sports like tennis, golf, football, baseball and bowling. A variety of games is available for Dad’s enjoyment.

Although it’s tough to believe, Dads like to have fun just like everyone else. Take some time to find out what your Dad likes. Who knows? You may find that you enjoy it as much as he does. You may develop a new family activity to enjoy on a regular basis and spending time with Dad on Father’s Day could be your greatest gift.
