Each holiday season, hundreds of families prepare to return to their communities and spend time with their loved ones.
Even still, a majority of them don’t realize how much more fun and frolic the village may provide than just the tranquillity.
Here are several activities to add some excitement to your time in the village during this festive season, ranging from hikes to picnics.
Hiking
Hiking with relatives and family is a refreshing way to bond and enjoy your time this festive season.
An abundance of stories to tell as you take the hike is an extra boost as it will keep you entertained throughout the walk.
Picnic
A picnic at a nearby field or at the back of a houseyard is one other way to maximise your experience in the village without spending a dime.
Depending on your favourite themes, you can curate an aesthetic picnic date that your loved ones will enjoy and forever remember.
Community service
To embrace teamwork and strengthen the family bond, you can volunteer together to help the communities around your village.
Whether it is offering to clean up or cook, indulging in activities that give back to the community is a rewarding experience that your family might enjoy this festive season.
New recipes
Crafting recipes together with family from readily available material in the village such as homegrown foods and livestock is a great way to enjoy your stay on a budget.
To make it super exciting, involve everyone when selecting the meal, ingredients and food preparation.
Storytelling
Telling or listening to stories is a budget-friendly way to enjoy your stay in the village without breaking the bank.
Whether it is old tales or stories from the city, storytelling will keep you and your family entertained without spending a coin.
Flower picking date
If you are a lover of flowers, this would be a fun and wonderful free activity to do. You may choose to hand-pick wildflowers in the village and make a bouquet for your house or place the flowers in a cardboard vase as shown below.
Bike rides
Get to bond with your family through long bike rides to your choice of destination within the village, it could be near a river where you could make a stop to feed darks swimming around or just a little bike riding competition amongst yourselves.
You can also opt for a bike parade where you decorate bikes for fun and ride them around the village.
