It’s a new day to get started on a new fun family activity challenge. Today’s challenge will be one that you can do daily. The key to this challenge is to make sure you complete each activity on the day it’s scheduled. Grab the family and let’s have some fun!
Calendar Challenge
Items you need include:
- A blank calendar, or you can do a list from 1-31 on a dry erase board or a sheet of paper. (Of course, all months are not created equal so just stop on the day the month ends accordingly.)
- Marker, dry erase marker, or pen, depending on your calendar or list
Now that you have your supplies, let’s set your days up. Each day will consist of a fun activity for you and your family to do. The activity will be listed by each calendar date, starting with the 1st of the month. Because we are already well past the 1st, you don’t have to start on the 1st. You will simply start on whatever day it is when you start this.
Below I have 31 days already lined up for you. You can change the activities monthly or just leave them. Use this time to be creative with each day and each activity. Stay on course and don’t fall behind, because you don’t get make up days! After each completed month, add a family treat to celebrate. For example, complete your first 30 days and plan a family pizza night! Remember to cherish the simple things and enjoy the moments that become priceless memories.
