Work, home, domestic problems - all this leads to a routine lifestyle. And, as a rule, I want to relax this weekend. But how to spend a good time, especially with children, if the budget is limited, and financial opportunities do not allow you to visit cinemas, restaurants, and sanatoriums. In this article we will tell you what to do on the weekend. We present to your attention a list of the cheapest, fun, exciting, and most importantly, family entertainment for the coming weekend.
Active lifestyle
Many people ask: "What to do on the weekend?" There is nothing more useful and economical than a walk in the fresh air. This tip is ideal for both adults and children.
- Firstly, sporting events can be held at any time of the year. In winter - skiing and ice skating, visiting ice towns, erecting a snowman and fighting on snowballs. In the summer - hiking, picnics, hiking in the park and forest, playing ball, tennis and badminton.
- Secondly, it is good for the health of the body and soul. There is nothing more unifying than sports. The whole family unites, learns to get along with each other and become a single team.
If you do not know what to do on the weekend, then feel free to create a program for outdoor recreation, call families with children with you and arrange entertaining contests. Now in any yard there are football fields, and in many parks they put tennis courts and exercise machines.
Theme evening
So, the week is coming to an end and you have a logical question, what to do on the weekend. There is nothing more interesting than arranging a thematic evening:
- Idea 1. Home orchestra. To do this, you do not need to buy a drum, guitar or trumpet, because in every house there are many improvised tools! Turn over the pots and give each one a spoon or stick - this will be an imitation of percussion instruments. If you take ordinary glasses, then you can make a flute and a pipe from them.
- Idea 2. Dance battle. If you have a large family (three people or more), then you can arrange a home competition. The task is that both adults and children prepare a special dance (choose music, style, costume), and in the evening a big performance is arranged. The best will be awarded with pleasant presents. But it will be even more interesting if the choice of style and music is chaotic. The main thing is not skill, but showiness and brightness of the show. You can use any means at hand and ask each other for help.
Cinema evening
So what to do on a weekend with your family? Spend a free evening watching your favorite films.
What is needed for such a weekend:
- First, choose a movie. Discuss in advance with your family which genre they like to find a compromise. For a joint pastime there are wonderful comedies that are ideal for both adults and children. For example, the film "Hello, Dad, New Year!". If you love the fantasy world, then give preference to all parts of Harry Potter, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. And if there are small children among you, then it will not be superfluous to watch such wonderful cartoons as Monster Corporation, Madagascar, Shrek, House, Zeropolis.
- Secondly, prepare snacks. Cut fruits and vegetables, put them on a plate and decorate with nuts. Adults can afford a glass of wine with cheese, and for children caramel popcorn, which can be prepared at home with ease, is ideal.
On cold evenings
In Russia, more than 80% of the population suffers from a lack of heat, green grass, early sunrises and late sunsets. Winter in most regions begins in September and October and lasts until the end of April. Therefore, most weekends are held in covered, insulated places. Many people wonder what to do on a winter weekend, if skating and making snowmen is cold and chilly?
- Visit the bathhouse. There is nothing more warming and healing than steam rooms, saunas and hammams. But be careful if you often have high blood pressure and have heart disease.
- Hot evening. Invite your friends to a cup of mulled wine by making it from red wine, spices (cinnamon, cloves, coriander), honey and ginger. A hot drink is an ideal occasion to spend the evening with long sincere conversations. And if someone from the company is contraindicated in alcohol, you can always make cocoa with marshmallows, bake cookies, muffins or donuts.
Board game evening
We live in a digital world, and every day we start with a smartphone, and then we end with it. Therefore, this advice is ideal for parents who want to know what to do with their children on the weekend.
Board games (checkers, chess, cards, puzzles, Uno, Monopoly) make you active, attentive, concentrated. In addition, such events effectively replace games on a computer, tablet and phone, bringing together all family members. During board games, all the home inhabitants communicate, joke and laugh, and also share the events that happened during the week, support each other and show how strong and united their family is.
Weekend cultural program
Saturday and Sunday are ideal days to visit several establishments and have a good time.
- Morning. Give yourself the opportunity to relax, soak in the bed an extra hour. Discuss with your family in advance that there will be no conventions on this day, so breakfast will not be prepared by mom or dad, but all together.
- Dinner. If the whole family unites, then all household chores can be completed in 1-2 hours, so everyone will be ready for a cultural and entertainment program for dinner. If opportunities allow, then visit the family restaurant and allow at least once every 1-2 weeks to get enough not with home cooking, but with professional dishes. You can order coffee with desserts, taste pizza, khinkali, barbecue, rolls, hamburgers.
- Evening. Buy a ticket to the circus, indoor attractions, theater or cinema. It is advisable that the session was evening, but not too late. This will make it possible to have time to come home, play with the children, take a bubble bath and talk heart to heart.
If you are wondering what to do on the weekend without money, then the budget option for entertainment will help you. Start the day with a family breakfast by preparing delicious vanilla pancakes, brewing aromatic coffee and turning on a nice movie. If you live at home alone or in a pair, but without small children, it is recommended to collect a foam bath and arrange romantic spa treatments (massage, masks, aromatherapy). In the evening, take a walk in the park, ride a bicycle or read a book in a cozy gazebo.
Picnic
Relax in nature - a unique tip for those who don’t know what to do on the weekend. At home, we spend most of our free time, which is why our body begins to suffer from a lack of sunlight and oxygen. Therefore, at the first opportunity, try to get out into the countryside. It can be a simple walk in the park or a picnic with the whole family in the forest or on the banks of a local river.
If you do not have a car - it does not matter. Dozens of buses, especially in the warm season, travel to small villages and towns where you can spend a weekend. It is not necessary to take alcohol, as is customary for many families.
Stock up on the ball, rugs, mosquito repellents. Take thermoses, a kettle, charcoal and garbage bags. In nature, you can fry kebabs, bake potatoes and vegetables in foil, make fish soup from fish, drink herbal teas and just enjoy the birdsong, water and sunlight.
